  • This excruciating interrogation is said to be of Tarantino's best. The opening scene strains a slow-burning and horrifyingly intense dialogue between "Jew-Hunter" Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) and a righteous French dairy farmer who's hiding innocent Jews under his floor boards during WWII.
    Brad Pitt takes no prisoners in Quentin Tarantino’s high-octane WWII revenge fantasy Inglourious Basterds. As war rages in Europe, a Nazi-scalping squad of American soldiers, known to their enemy as “The Basterds,” is on a daring mission to take down the leaders of the Third Reich. Bursting with “action, hair-trigger suspense and a machine-gun spray of killer dialogue” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone), Inglourious Basterds is “another Tarantino masterpiece” (Jake Hamilton, CBS-TV)!

You can see that the moment Lapadite breaks in tears is when Landa says "that reward will be the German army ceasing to harass your family throughout the occupation of your country". When I first watched the film, I interpreted it as though the farmer has had enough and couldn't take it anymore because the Nazis were putting him and his family at risk all the time. As in, that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

      Please explain to me what a face as in personification of evil looks like? All I see, is a straight, dominant and authorative expression, looking the other straight into his eyes, if you consider that " evil " well, you must have many problems with authorities in your life then, there is no evil expression or good expression, dogs as example, can stare down each other as well to show dominance, nothing evil about it, Landa is highly intelligent, and a Master of social interaction, as shown here, he is reading the farmer from the first moment he enters, he offers the Farmer something in exchange to betray the jewish family as well, a bargain, made from the position of established social dominance and power, the farmer does not shet tears because he is sad as of what happens to the family of jews, he cries, because he made a choice, as in, protecting his own family and making sure, they will be safe for the the rest of the occupation, in exchange for betraying and dooming another family. Also, mind you, this act was not at all necessary from Landas side, he could have just as well killed them all. Landa himself is not at all, a Nazi, he does not at all believe in their dogmas, he is employed by them, to do something he is good at.

      There's actually a reason behind him bringing out that pipe.
      Apparently it's a detective's pipe, like the one Sherlock Holmes uses. Hans Landa thinks of himself as a detective and not a soldier. When Tarantino and Waltz were discussing the film scene they decided to use the pipe because it would show the audience that he thinks and acts like a detective like Sherlock Holmes rather than an army man.

      I saw a change from evil + affable to evil + doing his job. When comparing a naturally instinctive aversion to rats with Jews; that's evil.
      Rats scuttle on all fours while squirrels can sit on their hind legs and use their 'hands', squirrels don't spread diseases like rats do, squirrels are mostly vegetarians, rats are nocturnal critters so are active when we are asleep and most vulnerable, squirrels do most of their structural damage of our homes outside, rats do most of their damage inside. Rat waste can contaminate pantries, ruin personal property, and carry diseases, including rat-bite fever, plague, and food poisoning.
      Comparing squirrels with rats is like comparing elephants with rhinos. He's just justifying the Führer's and Goebbels's "propaganda" with a false equivalency. Evil, patronising, and condescending plus the milk and pipe actions show he's not afraid to assert his 'dominance' (which is he has a whole army of murderous bastards to call upon).

    Quentin Tarantino is a master of his craft. He specializes in introducing tension into seemingly boring conversations that start off on an inane subject, leading to a hail of bullets, lots of dead people and just one or two survivors.
    Most of his movies have no superhero stuff, no overuse of CGI, no 'punch' dialogues, no virtue signalling with just ordinary, everyday characters who find themselves in really tough situations, having to compromise just so that they can survive, however briefly.
    Very relatable, thoroughly enjoyable.
    Christopher Waltz is perfect as the psychopath who gets pleasure in being the cat that plays with the 'rat' before killing it. His performance is spine chilling.
    One can see the farmer's soul in his eyes. He made this terrifying scene unforgettable.

    5:18 It's the small changes in Landa's facial expression that make him utterly terrifying in this moment. The way his eyebrows shift from being raised in playful curiosity to being lowered and furrowed in accusation. His bright and charming eyes narrow into a cold glare. The small playful smirk on his lips vanishes as his jawline hardens. Every ounce of human warmth drains from his face. And you realize that all you've seen of Landa up until now has been nothing but a mask.
    In this moment, the mask falls...and what lies beneath is the face of pure evil.

    Christoph Waltz and Denis Ménoche are both remarkable here for different reasons. We often see Nazis portrayed in film as outrageously frightening caricatures - but I think Christoph more portrays something that is probably more accurate. That is, a man with great intelligence and charm, which arguably makes his evil even more terrifying and insidious. And Denis manages to do so much with so little! He barely speaks, but the subtle nuances of his facial expressions convey so much conflict, pain, and horror. This whole scene is my favourite in this film, and possibly one of my favourites of any film I've ever seen. Stunningly well-written (even for Tarantino), and remarkably acted all around. Simply superb.

      I think it works well to show the duality of the enemies. Brad Pitt's Basterds carry more of the comedy throughout the film, being the almost rag-tag bunch of lads who cut their own detail half the time simply because they can, making the best out of the (obviously) horrendous war situation. This is accented by Christoph Waltz's psycho humour as Hans Landa, more in-world self amusement as he knows almost every move that's being made - almost like he's toying with his adversaries. The different tones being given off, for me, adds another layer of character perspective to the film. I get what you mean though, it can be rather odd once or twice
