Hans Landa is one of the best villains in cinema history. And played to perfection by Christoph Waltz, he’s physically small but with an incredible presence. He intimidates with his intellect, and overwhelms people.
Christoph Waltz was also in Django Unchained
Landa was a calculated genius going up against brutish idiots, but in the end he was the true idiot for thinking that his intelligence would keep him from falling prey to the easiest lie to tell: "You can trust me."
@@Scallycowell that is a great assessment
Won an Oscar for both performances too, only QT actor to take home gold.
@@Scallycowell Well the scar can be fixed and he still got his deal with the Americans so he got away pretty good.
"This just might be my masterpiece" final line of the film, best believe that was done intentionally by Tarantino, he knew how good this movie was when he made it
I completely agree, it's definitely the best ending line in any Tarantino film. I laugh and fist pump in the air when he says it. I even like that it's "this just might be.....", not "this IS my masterpiece". That's even cooler.
Tarantino considers Once Upon a Time in Hollywood his masterpiece and it was planned to be so. He says his last movies is not going to be as epic and it will be more of a prologue to his career
@@jademermaidmusic He may consider it his masterpiece, but I sure don't. I'm hoping for the best with his tenth, but I thought "Hollywood" was ok, "Django" was mostly good, so was "Death Proof". "Hateful 8" was atrocious, I thought. Even "Kill Bill", I didn't like the ending sections of either of those movies, and came out of the theatre disappointed, both parts. I love his first three movies (all three of which I saw the weeks they opened, and in two cases the days they opened) and really like Inglorious Basterds, and then sections of all the others. I definitely don't think "Hollywood" is anywhere near his best movie, and definitely not better than "Basterds". Love the part where Brad Pitt goes to the ranch, though. Also the "Out Of Time" sequence is one of my favorite things in any of his movies.
I agree
Except for me, his masterpiece is Kill Bill vol.1 lol.
At the movie premiere in the 3rd Act, Tarantino originally intended for Aldo to get by with his Italian well enough, but at the table read Brad Pitt did the bad Italian accent and everyone found it hysterical. Tarantino couldn't un-hear it, and it made its way into the movie.
The opening scene to the movie gives me chills Everytime I watch it.
Great scene. All of the actors were great, especially Waltz.
1:15 -- the daughter appearing briefly in this scene is Lea Seydoux, who in a few short years would be co-starring with Christoph Waltz in the James Bond thriller SPECTRE.
5:10 -- the dead Nazi getting scalped here is Quentin Tarantino.
Ah. I wondered why he didn't make a cameo in this one. Ik he doesn't always appear, but usually. And now I know he DID appear in IB. Ty for the knowledge
I loved her in Robin Hood.
What most people don't seem to notice is, that Landa didn't just order the glass of milk to mess with Shosanna. He also ordered extra cream to make the strudel non-kosher and then basically forced her to eat it.
But there's no meat ingredient in the strudel
Non kosher?
didn't Shoshanna come from a dairy farming family?
@@tzgzz9245 @4tchilling @
gogyoo
"Dairy products - such as milk, cheese, butter, and yogurt - are permitted, although they must adhere to specific rules in order to be considered kosher:
They must come from a kosher animal.
They must never be mixed with any meat-based derivatives, such as gelatin or rennet (an animal-derived enzyme), which is often the case with hard cheeses and other processed cheese products.
They must also be prepared using kosher utensils and equipment that has not previously been used to process any meat-based product."
It's about the mixing with the strudel which has gelatin in it.
@@gogyoo during 2nd wolrd war there were animal fat in it
11:45 Mike Myers representing British intelligence again.Yeah baby!
The bar scene is so much more amazing than many people realize. Accents play a big role in the dynamic and it always blows me away that Tarantino made sure they are absolutely perfect.
The Nazi can tell where all the german native speakers are from and it checks out. Their accents are very subtle, but if you're good with regional dialects you can hear it. And the one they can't figure out really does have a strange accent. It's almost perfect german, but only almost. And it really does sound like it's more of foreign accent, but only a little bit. The explanation he gives places the origin of the accent in southern Switzerland which is freakin' genius! The area has many italian speakers but people there likely also speak german. But most germans will never have met anyone from there, so this is kinda the one place on freakin' earth where people speak german, but most people in Germany would have never heard the accent. And they don't just pretend! Tarantino got himself a bunch of german actors who can actually pull it off. I mean, he could have just faked it, but he didn't. It's all perfect.
It's also always hilarious, that when he orders the drinks with three fingers every german viewer immediately knows he screwed up and american viewers are confused about what's happening. xD
Frederick Zoller is played by Daniel Bruhl (who is Baron Zemo in the MCU), and Lt. Hicox is played by Michael Fassbender (who later went on to play Magneto)
15:31 -- German audiences freaked out, when the lieutenant asked for three glasses in that manner. Being in an American audience, I didn't know how he blew his cover, until Brigette explained it.
Christolph was on another level... Landa is up there with the likes of hans gruber... with being a villain who was just so great at being evil that at times you like him
As a former detective, trained in interrogation, the opening had a lot of subtle accuracies in the questions and setup. While not a real event, it has some resonance.
I love the sassiness of Tarantino commenting on his own career with that last line.
I absolutely love the role Brad Pitt played. He took Lt Rayne right to the bleeding edge of campiness, but never crossed the line. He's wild enough to be a fictional character, but still somehow believable. Brilliant.
There's some fun irony with Michael Fassbender playing Lt Archie Hicox. Fassbender was born in Germany and speaks his native language. As Lt Hicox though, he's a German actor playing a British Officer with a British accent, pretending to be a German officer with an obvious (to Germans) strange German accent.
"He's like James Bond, except a Nazi killer."
Damn right I reckon Michael Fassbender would make a great Bond too.
Why? Michael Fassbender is not a black woman. Everybody knows James bond was a black woman
It can't be overstated how perfect the casting is in Tarantino's movies. Whoever does that for him is an unsung hero. In EVERY single movie it's like the character was specifically written for that actor it's uncanny. There is no such thing as an insignificant character in a Tarantino film .
For the longest time I had no idea that General Ed Fenech was played by Mike Myers until my cousin pointed it out a while back.
Damn, you actually noticed the big ass message that it was Shoshanna living there after 4 years. I've seen so many not pay attention.
Omg YES. So many people don’t realize that’s Shoshanna. Honestly I didn’t the first time I watched and it was confusing. Taught me to pay attention though lol
@@tionak well when Landa walks in there’s literally a flashback of the farm and her running away.
My 2 favorite quotes from this movie
"Bawn jarno"
"Champagne?"
The first scene was so good with landa shouting “au revoir” instead of “adieu” for goodbye. Adieu is more final vs au revoir which could mean till next time.
Leonardo DiCaprio was Tarantino‘s first choice for Hans, but he was busy with another movie and couldn’t commit. Tarantino then looked all over the world for an actor who can speak multiple languages and have the stage presence he needed for this character. It was just luck that Christoph waltz came along and the movie is so much better because of it.
Leonardo do caprio can’t speak multiple languages
The mix of charming and chilling that Christoph Waltz demonstrates in the opening scene is a masterclass in playing sociopath portrayal.
Christoph Waltz just a incredible...he killed all of them with his acting👍
One of the best dialogue exchanges of the film has to be when the bear jew bumps the medals on the nazi officers chest and says "you get those from killing jews." And the officer in a surprisingly calm and reserved manner answers, "bravery" right before kissing the fastest baseball bat ever.
Such a cool way of showing the duality of certain ideas and those who would think in those ways.
10:26 he asked for milk specifically to let her understand that he knows who she is. Since her family was hiding on a milk farm. Not a lot of people were able to pick that up
Glad you liked this movie, and very glad that you immediately understood who the lead actor of this movie was. As Tarantino put it, there wouldn't be a movie without the lingustic genius of Christoph Waltz. Being fluent in at least four different languages down to the accent of each language was a prerequisite for this movie to happen. And Christoph got an oscar for this movie and the next Tarantino movie Django Unchained.
In the future I'll make watching this film a holiday tradition for my kids. "Hey kids it's Purim/Chanukah/Passover/Sukot/Rosh Hashana/Tuesday, time to watch Nazis get slaughtered."
Tarantino coaxed Hong Kong legend Maggie Cheung out of retirement to play Madame Ada Mimieux, the “aunt” Shosanna refers to who sheltered her from the Nazis and gave her her new identity. Tarantino cut the scene with her blessing. Cloris Leachman appeared in another deleted scene that would have given us backstory on the Bear Jew.
The cinema lobby before the movie is such an underrated scene. Landa knows exactly who is in front of him, and does his usual thing of saying he knows without actually saying it. Aldo knows but doesn't care so he puts no effort into his Italian.
Adieu is used as a goodbye. Au revoir means so long. So when Hans says adieu, he is meaning goodbye forever before they shoot through the floor. Then says au revoir to Shosanna. Which would be like saying see you soon.
The tip-off was when he ordered three glasses by holding up three fingers, the way Americans or Brits would. But Germans use two fingers and a thumb. That's all it took.
I saw this in theaters several years ago, didn't think it was that good...thing is Quintin is a master of his craft and after each viewing, you begin to understand what a masterpiece this film is.
The actor that plays Landa won the Oscar for Best Actor in this film and also for his role in Django Unchained. I hope to get to work with him one day. I’m an actor also. My stage name is James W. Evermore. You may have seen me in some of the stuff I’ve worked on. Great videos. Keep up the good work!!
6:23, the Bear Jew is played by Director Eli Roth, whom brought us Cabin Fever.
The role was intended for Adam Sandler. It would've been interesting seeing him in a Tarantino film.
ohh shit I just thought Zachary quinto had got hench, I did not know it's Eli Roth, thanks for that 🙂
@@doughbafett that would’ve been awful man lol
He also did all the Hostel movies.
You should definitely watch Django unchained if you haven't seen it yet, it's my favorite Tarantino movie, his take on a western.
Just realized that it was Samuel L Jackson's voice talking about the nitrate films. Tarantino still found a way to get him into he film
You don’t gotta be stonewall Jackson to know you don’t set a meeting in a basement is one of my all time favorite quotes
“Is that the type of man you need? The loquacious type?” My favorite 😂
@@CapedInformer this is probably my favorite Pitt role too. Yours?
I like how whenever violence erupts you burst into laughter lol.
I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction. This is one of my favorite movies. There are so many things to like. I appreciate that you never trusted the war hero-it’s funny because he follows the tropes you’re supposed to in romantic comedies. Annoy woman until she likes you and impress her even though you’re just aw shucks a regular guy! Though… he’s killed so many people in war for the Nazis like. The power dynamic he’s in complete denial of or pretends to be.
I always get the chills when Shoshanna gets ready for the premiere. 💃🏼
I remember seeing this in the theaters and l had a great time.
This is my favorite tarantino movie. I do also think it is his magnus opus. It's just his best made, acted, and has the best written story and dialogue of all of his movies. that's just me though I'm sure a lot of people have varying opinions on which is his best.
The punch-gun used in the finale of the film was apparently a real weapon.
I've seen this movie to death and I had no idea such a weird ass gun really existed.
From Wikipedia:
The Sedgley OSS .38 glove pistol or Sedgley Fist Gun is a World War II firearm. It was designed by Stanley M. Haight and manufactured by Sedgley Co. of Philadelphia for the U.S. Marines and the U.S. Navy. Its official designation by the US Navy was Hand Firing Mechanism, Mk 2.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedgley_OSS_.38
“What kind of fiend drinks milk straight like that” when I just shot an entire glass of milk about an hour ago 😭
my boss is german, so thats valid he gave himself away by not starting with the thumb to say three glasses
Interesting thing that they did very well was when in the home that was sheltering the jews, Landa says a type of goodbye that you say when you won't see that person again but with Shoshanna he says it as 'Until next time'.
The 3 thing is real. Our czech foreign exchange student didn't understand why we didn't include the thumb
What's up with the milk hate my friend??!! I don't think I've heard milk get put on blast with extreme prejudice like that! Man that cracked me up 🤣
I knew that would disrupt the milk drinking community 😂
*"You know something, Utivich, I think this just might be my masterpiece."*
"what kind of fiend drinks milk like that?" - To answer that question you need to watch _Leon: The Professional_
Aaaah ❤️🙌🙌 Mélanie Laurent french actress, as Shoshana, je l'adore (I'm french) ❤️ Vive la France 🇫🇷 ❤️
Christoph Waltz won an Oscar for this role, then he won his second in Django Unchained, another Tarantino movie.
"Hugo Stiglitz..." I love Til Schweiger in this movie (and most movies he's in). I first saw him in SLC Punk with Mathew Lillard (if you've ever been curious about punk music/culture, I highly recommend). His face during the drinking game and the slow dissolve to him being whipped is such a perfect visual joke, and his gestapo murder montage is hilariously brutal.
Love Til Schweiger and SLC Punk. I remember before this movie came out, Americans were like “ugh a bunch of no names!!” Like… a number of these actors were quite famous in other countries lol.
The character "Hugo Stiglitz" is named after the Mexican actor/director by the same name (Yes, Mexican!). Supposedly, Tarantino used to go to a small movie theater in L.A. to watch his movies when he was young, and that inspired him to make movies.
The actor Schweiger made a promise to himself that he would NEVER play a Nazi character. When Tarantino explained that Hugo was not a Nazi,. but a German soldier who killed Nazis, Schweiger accepted the role.
The Nazi that's scalped was actually Tarantino, and the Bear Jew role was wrote for Adam Sandler, after he put Quentin in the movie Little Nicky(QT played the blind priest). But Adam was already working on the movie Funny People with Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill, so Quentin got Eli Roth(🔥 director) to play the role.
At the bar, when he ordered three glasses, he used three fingers but not the thumb. In that nazi age, german always used the thumb to mark a number with the hand. In that moment the nazi realized he was an impostor.
Great reaction, and great post-film analysis. Really enjoyed it! Regarding your request, to let you know what our favorite Tarantino is: My favorite Tarantino is Jackie Brown, and of course his first two (I saw both in the theatres the week they opened). But Inglourious Basterds is the definitely the next on that list. PS: If you haven't seen "Jackie Brown", PLEASE do a reaction video for it! I think there is maybe one, possibly two reaction videos for it, at least that I've found. I'm completely perplexed why that's got the least of reaction videos, since it's one of his most beloved movies, and the one he followed Pulp Fiction with. "Jackie Brown"! Guaranteed to make a great reaction video! "Death Proof" is also a good one that not many people have done.
Unusual pick for your favourite QT movie. I like it too, and it does come to mind straight away when trying to choose mine. Top pick changes too often to outright call a winner for me though. I love them all for different reasons.
@@corriblehunt4554 I like them all too (Hateful excluded), but "Jackie Brown" is the movie I go back to the most. I can watch that one any time, and it is also the movie that gets better and better every time I see it. I can't say that about all of them. Part of it has to be the fact that it's not just Tarantino, it's Tarantino and Elmore Leonard. I think it's got Samuel Jackson's greatest performance, and De NIro's performance is a master class. It's his most "grown-up" movie, and it's got a lot of heart. It's consistent from beginning to end. "Pulp Fiction" for instance has entire chunks that I skip (taxi scene, motel room with girlfriend, travolta and stoltz talking heroin, etc). I think it's very bizarre and sad that it's the Tarantino movie with the least amount of reactions. I'll take it any day over the two "Kill Bills", both of which have lame second halfs in my opinion, two more things I skip. I just watch first half of Vol 1, then the first half of Vol. 2 and I'm done! lol.
@@TTM9691 I feel exactly the same. And I'd also rank Hateful 8 last, but it's still a great movie, imo. It's one of those that gets better if you watch it a few times. First viewing definitely felt like a let down compared to his others, but I think that's only because is so different from his other movies.
@@corriblehunt4554 I'll give it another shot, man! You know, that movie cost twenty bucks a ticket when I went and saw it (which I didn't know until I got to the window to pay). It set me back forty dollars, so even though I was a Tarantino fan going back to the week when "Reservoir Dogs" first opened, I was in quite the bad mood by the time I sat down in my seat! Shell-shocked, actually! I haven't been back to a movie theater ever since, that was the last straw! 🤣
@@TTM9691 LMAO, yeah that'll ruin any movie experience. Movie tickets have become ridiculously over priced now. You're no longer paying just to watch the movie as it's released. They're charging you for the 'experience'. The experience of sitting in an uncomfortable seat, eating overpriced snacks, and hoping the film isn't 90% CGI.... Good Luck with a 2nd viewing. Hateful isn't a movie that requires a big screen. And I know it's not a glowing endorsement, but once you lower your expectations of it being the next Pulp Fiction, or Jackie Brown, it does have it's own style and charm. Very different from his other movies, but still blatantly Tarantino
25:25 That old film stock was made with Nitrocellulose (basically gun powder)... It was EXTREMELY flammable... It was so dangerous the air lines would not allow it on planes...
The film itself explains that with a Samuel L. Jackson narration.
Brad Pitt's "I speak the most eye-talian" is hilarious.
im a fiend who will drink milk like that....being non lactose is a blessing lol
Another great Brad Pitt war movie to add to the list is ‘Fury’. It’s so good. 🔥
FURY is badass. That would be a great reaction
Neat fact Shosanna's film for the Nazis was originally going to be in French. Melanie Laurent felt it would have more of an impact if it was in English, and it was changed as a result and Loved your reaction glad you liked the film.
21:44 Tarantino himself was actually choking Diane Kruger for it to look real, and to avoid any beef between actors that's why he did it himself
"You know the problem with an ambush in a basement?" It's in a godaamn basement!" Best line ever!
I forgot just how great this is and you brought it back to me in fine style, cheers!
The “Bear Jew” is Director Eli Roth
Too many people make the reaction videos about themselves- you sir...did not. GREAT JOB!
A lot of people have used apostrophes correctly - you sir...did not 🙂
@@mr_k4tz are you certain? I think that the apostrophe I used was an error, so I edited my comment. Either way, I enjoyed the reaction. Cheers.
Has a polyglotte french-english-spanish I like the multiple language used in this movie
The dungeon bar scene is one of the top scenes in movie history
Ah you cut out my favorite dialogue right at the end. My wife and I are veterans, so it’s absolutely hilarious.
Landa: Something about, “You’ll be killed for this.”
Pitt: “Nah, I’ll get chewed out. I’ve been chewed out before.”
Tarantino didn't want the other actors rehearsing with Christoph Waltz, and I think that was a good call. You get a more authentic interaction between them.
fun fact, Adam Sandler was originally casted for the Donnie "Bear Jew" Donawitz, hence why he had a great entrance, because it was supposed to throw the audience in a loop (a "holy shit its adam sandler, I dont believe it" type of moment).
But Sandler wanted to make Jack & Jill instead, big mistake. at least Tarantino still scored Mike Meyers as the general.
I feel like he could have made that shot in the beginning but choose not to cause he enjoys the chase
Not with that gun
Christoph Waltz is an actor that is pretty much in every Tarintino film's. He is a great actor. The Hateful 8 had one of my all time favorite scenes in it and is another great addition to Tarantino's catalog.
Christoph Waltz is only in 2 of Tarantino's movies. Hateful 8 is NOT one of them.
The Gestapo major officer wasnt exactly 100% if they were spies considering they seemed odd, but still legit until the british finally blew the cover with pulling up three fingers none german way
Fun fact: The "Bear Jew" was supposed to be played by Adam Sandler
Incase u didn't know Quinton tarantino strangled the actress in that scene in the cinema. She was all bruised and actually passed out and got taken to hospital.
He creeps me out if am honest and when I found that out he freaks me out even more.
Two of my favourite acting performances of all time, from Brad Pitt and Christophe Waltz, and those characters are not even in arguably the best scene in the movie (the bar scene). Definitely in my all time top 10 :)
Btw, it was even more enjoyable watching django a few years after this as Christophe plays such a likable character in that movie :)
I forgot to say, thanks for the great video mate!
I had a peanut butter sandwich and a full glass of milk after. Sometimes I'll drink milk in the middle of the night to help me sleep... I don't think milk is a fiends food any more than an apple.
I'm glad you enjoyed this movie. Thank you for the reaction! Are you going to react to The Hateful Eight?
This guy’s real good & fun to watch… Worth subscribing to☝️
When you said "incriminating", it made me think of the word "incriminate", and then that became "incrimin-ade", kind of like "lemonade" except that it would incriminate you if you drank it.
Do Shawshank redemption (1994) next
Two films that inspired/ influenced Tarantino to make this film were _The Dirty Dozen_ (with Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, and many others) and _Where Eagles Dare_ (starring Clint Eastwood & Richard Burton). Both are about small groups of men on a covert mission behind enemy lines in Nazi occupied Europe, and both are definately worth a watch.
Christoph Waltz is also a great Bond villain in Spectre
Tarantino had an awful time casting the role of Landa. Right up to the scheduled beginning of filming, he said he would scrap the project if he couldn't find the perfect Landa. He found Christoph Waltz.
I think the most Tarantino movie is ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD.
Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction are iconic too..
Fun fact about the Bear Jew: Tarantino's first choice of actor for the part was Adam Sandler. He turned it down. I think he would have knocked it out of the park.
Its a VERY fun movie. Its ALSO FUN to see ANYONE's reaction to it. lol.
Its VERY: amusing, fun and INTERESTING to watch, but easily of course, nicer to watch with a friend or family member.
Such a NOVEL of a movie. So detailed.
Nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture, but won Best Supporting Actor for Christophe Waltz
Congrats on 11K. 💪🏽
My favorite Tarantino and one of my favorite movies of the 2000s
Tarantino said he wanted to make this movie earlier but he couldn't find a multi lingual good enough actor to pull of hanz landa
5:37, this is a cool way to introduce a character!
If you Like Christop Waltz and Taruntino's Style i suggest you check out Django in the future.
48 hrs. Eddie Murphy / Nick Nolte
I think u would really enjoy " True Romance" written by Tarantino with just a phenomenal cast.
Django Unchained next! 🤩
Oh he hasn't seen Django yet? That explains the casual way he mentioned Mr. Waltz.
I actually have just didn’t recognize him lol. Saw it a while back, that’s where I know him
@@CapedInformer I KNEW I remembered you mentioning Django a while back in a video! :)
Christoph waltz won both his Oscars for this & Django
I know this is on the complete opposite side of the ww2 spectrum but I recommend you react to "Land of Mine".
The only way he could get Samuel L Jackson was as a narrator. That's Mike Myers as the British General.
Tarantino was just about to not film this, as he just could not find a "Landa". In walks Christoph and the rest is history.
An academy award for both of his Tarantino movie roles - one for Hans Landa and the other one for Dr. Schultz 👏
His first choice was actually leonardo DiCaprio but he turned it down fearing playing that type of character. He would later regret that decision because of Waltz success & fame for it which is why when given a 2nd opportunity by Tarantino he took the role of Calvin Candy
Jackie Brown is definitely the least violent of his movies, and is always the one people forget about.
Hey Donnie!
We got a German here that wants to die for country!
Oblige him!
