I noticed that as well! But the scene is so well shot! Fassbender enter and does not know how to respond to seeing the PM and before any salutations are made he interrupted by Mike Myres.

Just the way Churchill would have preferred it, I think. It adds a layer of plausible deniability in case Operation Kino goes sideways.

He's not ignoring, his ranking officer is Meyers. The PM is a civilian.

@@AlKhebir11 Yes, PM is technically a civilian, but he's also de facto Commander-in-Chief of the British Armed Forces, while de jure C-i-C is the king but it's ceremonial.

Possibly because he knew where it was? He has made a plan involving the place…if he didn’t know where it was it would be a bit of a hassle

I mean, he didn't, but it's not surprising you think he did! At 4:05, we go from a close shot of Meyers picking up the pointer and pointing it at something very far off-screen, to a close-up of the pointer on Nadine, the pointer flicking away before a medium shot of Meyers holding the pointer up more unsteadily, in the vicinity of Paris. Odds are Tarantino told him to just point at Paris or thereabouts (since that's easy to find on a map), then filmed the close-up insert shot separately, using the flick away to justify why the pointer might not be in the correct location afterwards. Magic of good editing, kudos to Tarantino and Sally Menke (the editor of the film, who sadly died in 2010, she'd been the editor for all of Tarantino's films up to this point) for making the sequence work so damn seamlessly.

I've always suspected Tarantino of trying to make these guys as smoothly British as he possibly could, given that they phrase absolutely nothing in the way a normal person would and they also pepper this conversation with their little poetic idioms. Even watching this as a kid I assumed it had to be intentional.

The whole movie is quasi-satire.

There's a few Mike Myers hallmarks in here. He has a way of holding or pushing his breath that makes lines funny for some reason, and does these weird whisper-lines occasionally. I'd say he just did a bunch of takes and the Dr Evil face movements just came out at least once.

Winston Churchill is was a real life druid.

Yeah I think the globe is underrated as well

CRINGE

I think your fanboying is enough, actually.

Well let’s look at the choices he made. Big dramatic intros for Aldo, Hitler, Stieglitz. Huge, gut wrenching scene introducing Hans and Shoshana. This scene itself is that dramatic intro for Hicox. Churchill, in stark contrast to all these other people, is the guy who needs no introduction. There’s some great subtext from the set but the significance of this character is fueled by sheer unspoken gravitas. You’re expected to know who he is and, also unlike other characters, given no cues for who he is morally. Not only do you have to cast someone who sells this in just a few rather dry lines, but someone who can sell Churchill to Brits. If all of this doesn’t hit just right on screen, you’ve just got an old guy in the background of the Hicox scene. A featured extra. Instead, you either know exactly who it is, or you know that you’re supposed to. Bonus geeky ramblings- it’s a similar mechanism to the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. He made a portable box with a lightbulb inside into something of urgent, otherworldly value. Mostly by saying as little about it as possible. In this scene in Basterds, there’s a subtext of counter-intelligence. Hicox has been thoroughly vetted but we see this last point where they still don’t fully trust him. He could inform the Germans, or even make a move on Churchill. Hence he isn’t told who Churchill is right away and Myers’s character wrestles Hicox’s attention away at first. They possibly want to see Hicox’s reaction, in case he blows it similar to how he blows it in France. You don’t see much of this conspicuously huge room they’re all in, possibly because there are people there to take him down if he goes for Churchill. They sell Myers as the chief in that room and a German spy might take that bait where a Brit never would. It’s not an accident that Hicox pours both drinks from a bar positioned next to his entrance. It’s speculation and maybe there’s some other historical significance to these details but all together it gives the sense that this person is well looked after, well protected, even relatively out in the open. Lots to unpack here.

@@adrenalinpump7601 C'mon dude lets not be 'that guy'. Being racist is so pointless now and all this has shown me is that it doesn't matter where you come from we're all susceptible to corruption from power and we all manifest it in different ways. The giant leap we've taken technologically over the last 70 years has been quite frankly astounding and brought on a whole load of information that overloads us daily and society is constantly shifting to new things. I dont care if theres gay pride, a few of my best mates are gay from both sexes and its insightful. If your seeing child drag queens I pray for the parents. And people have been abusing drugs and alcohol for years are the people that do will continue to do so until it kills them. I like to think of it as natural selection. I dont think the government care about unemployment as much as they let as it rises most years but then again I think its adversely affected by my earlier tech point. More and more jobs can be given to a machine or computer program. Yeah Hitler was a massive driving force for the building up of his country and a powerful orator he was still a massive bellend under all that hot air and delusional, total out of touch grandeur that purged people and killed the others who didn't agree with him.

@@adrenalinpump7601 When the crimes are mostly committed by state forces they are not officially regarded as crimes.

@Bloop ADL SAID NOTHING???

Could be. Churchill's instruction to "brief him" might mean that he had the final say on using Hicox in the operation. Hicox is clearly a little flummoxed - who is his immediate superior? Churchill in the distance, or the general? He goes with the general.

@@stevekaczynski3793 the reason he did as the General told him was because Churchill wasn't formally introduced to Hicox therefore he doesn't acknowledge Churchil until he speaks to Hicox directly which means for official purposes Churchill wasn't present in this meeting.

I think it's more about the classy thing to do. Churchill is out if the way, so yes unofficially there. But the lieutenant walked in and is taken back by churchill. The general, clears his throat to get the lieutenants attention. Then they talk and the lieutenant doesn't speak to churchill until directly spoken too. He seems to understand that churchill just wants to observe him. He even glances back over his shoulder early on to see if that's really churchill or just look at him cuz he's still a bit taken back by him Awesome scene

Defo a test I reckon... this secret mission would potentially have you bumping into some of the top German commanders... if you looked nervous just having Churchill watch you unexpectedly then you’d be shitting it potentially speaking to Goebells, Himmler etc.

Kinda looked like Churchill could otherwise be taking a dump to me.

I loved thr etiquette of that situation. At that time, as Prime Minister, Churchill was a civilian with no rank in the military (the Commander in Chief in Britain is the King, the PM is just his "chief adviser"). But the general was, of course, a motherfucking *general*. So the lieutenant (pronounced "leftennant" in Britain) quite properly ignored the "mere civilian" and addressed the general - all the while subtly glancing over to the piano with his face screaming, "Wait, is that fucking Winston Churchill?!?" Brilliant.

Churchill was a military man before he became a politician, and was still a colonel at the time (among many honorary titles). But regardless, PM do not sit quietly and be ignored like that. Only Theresa May would!

Typecast. When you hear a name like Mike Myers you assume he's supposed to do something funny, however when you hear him along side the name Quentin Tarantino you know whatever role he's gonna be in is gonna be perfect for him no matter the genre. In this case, Myers was channeling his father in this role, whom was a member of the royal engineers in the English Army in WWII.

Myers is a perfectionist and doesn't like being in movies he hasn't written.

Samuel Trujillo He did write the movie "The Love Guru" and I would say that isn't a perfect movie. Maybe that was perfection in his eyes? Not sure.

Austin Surridge He wrote that because he wanted the Leafs to win the Stanley Cup. He didn't care how it would happen. He's an Ontario man first and an actor second.

Austin Surridge Believe it or not he spent years writing that piece of shit movie. Being a perfectionist doesn't mean your talented, it just means you need to have every little detail going your way. There is a New York Times article on why he'd rather disappear from the spotlight for years instead of being in movies he didn't write. "'Mike is the author of what he does,” said Jay Roach, whom Mr. Myers selected to direct all of the “Austin Powers” films. “Like a novelist writing a novel over a few years, he thinks up all the details and all the layers necessary to make things work."'

All commando personnel wore the green beret and special operations flashes, although they kept their parent cap badges. As mentioned already, this particular subaltern was badged with the Intelligence Corps and the badge has been blackened in typical commando style. The only glaring misstep ion this scene is Mike Myers' character saluting without a head-dress on. If you're hatless, the correct methodd of paying/returning a compliment is to stand to attention.
