I remember seeing this in the theater. Waltz blew me away. I was like “who the hell is this guy? How have I never seen him in anything before?!”

And then for his next portrayal in Django Unchained

Incredible actor.

@@darthvexen4697 right? He plays both roles with charisma. But that he goes from totally contemptible in one to completely lovable in one other. That is skill.

@@darthvexen4697 Leo should’ve won for Django instead tho

And don't forget about Daniel Bruhl, who speaks 5 languages I believe? Edit: 6 languages!

Not entirely true, as he originally wanted Leonardo DiCaprio for the part.

WHO WANTS FRIED SAUERKRAUT? Oops wrong tarantino movie.

@@bemused2774 6 ;)

@@Luggi83 so there’s an alternate universe where Leo played Hans? While I wouldn’t change a thing about this iconic performance, that would certainly be interesting to watch.

Waltz is the epitome of creepy Nazi vibe.

The opening scene is a masterpiece in acting

Agreed. I remember when this came out and most of us had never heard of him though he was already an established actor in Europe. Man, what a Hollywood debut. I walked out of the theater thinking I had to see more of this guy's work as soon as possible. His portrayal of Hans Landa is a terrible thing to witness, in the best way possible.

@@Marionney From Chistoph Waltz and also Denis Ménochet

One thing I do like about his character though is that he is honest. The guy doesn't lie, only deceives. Instead, it's our heroes in the Basterds that outright lie. Landa is a monster, but ironically he is still the only truly honest person in the film.

As a german this worked so perfectly. I knew the moment he made that hand gesture, that he was toast. Tarantino did not make this one up.

@@Quotenwagnerianer As someone who speaks German, though not fluently, I had no idea how accurate that was when I first saw it and had to ask a friend who grew up in Berlin. It's incredible how cultural tells can be *so obvious* when you're a part of that culture yet seem so inconsequential to an outsider.

The thing that confuses me is that I'm a Brit and I would show three in the German way, and I can't think of anyone I know that does otherwise. I can't help but feel that this was contrived.

@@17thknight It's also worth noticing that Fassbender's accent is also a big tell. His german is good, but it does betray the english native speaker ever so slightly. Which reminds me that I still need to see "Die weiße Hölle vom Piz Palü" ;) It stars Leni Riefenstahl (who would later become the infamous propaganda film maker for Hitler) and WW1 ace Hans Udet as himself. The only pilot with more kills was von Richthofen the famous Red Baron, but he didn't survive the war.

Superb actor.

Right

Yeah... but django just hit better for me

Daniel Bruhl speaks like 5 or 6 (guy who played zemo from civil war)

It would be Best Supporting but I agree.

I think Django is his best but Inglorious is definitely a masterpiece

Is that a real fact? I have never heard that before

Wow Quentin telling himself how wonderful he is. What a shocker.

He's right

@@JCG52577 Eh, when you got it why be modest

One of my favourite lines haha

That whole scene is solid gold.

I'll remember to say that the next time I find myself with a walther pointed at someone's nuts

That's famed italian actor Antonio Margheriti

He did nothing in the movie

@Where's Waldo??? ? they're going by Family guy rules.

@@MofoMagnificent whats his name?

Yep famous for his movie Hostel, which shook the cinema world at the time it released.

shows how good of a actor he is

I watched Django first, so it was the other way around for me

Dude don't forget it's a FANTASY movie from HOLLYWOOD.

@@tanelviil9149 uhh ok?

He has the range

Well deserved, his performance is a masterclass in understated menace

In 2021 it wouldn't happen due to woke culture.

@@manco828 I don't think anyone asked about the culture wars here, least of all me.

I wonder if he would get those rewards in 2021 because of woke culture.

@@weirdguy1495 No, but I did.

Yeah he just plays the power game, he is only a Nazi because it benefits him at the time, not because he believes the propaganda. When he ordered Shosanna milk and made her eat the desert with creme (not kosher) it became obvious that he knew.

@@Cosmic_Cretin interesting

@@Cosmic_Cretin That she is likely a jew, but it's too much of a stretch to assume he knew she was the same woman he had let go 4 years back.

It is actually a interrogation technique to trap people into their lies. So there is on one side no doubt they are guilty and not just misunderstood, and second they get nervous during the process by making things up unprepared what can make them unfunctional for making good decisions. Like the interrogation with the german actress. Landa didnt knew if she has a gun or anything. His very visual but off guard confrontation stoped her to actually do something. So he could use that moment to attack her.

@@5calambres Regardless of the technique used, I get the feeling half of the reason Landa did it was purely for fun. He knew the Jews were hidden in the farmer's floorboards before even entering (because he asked about the floorboards specifically). He knew who Shoshanna was the moment he laid eyes on her (he ordered her milk). He literally gets the 3 Americans to repeat themselves 3 times each, and slaps the last guy on the back for having a decent accent, even though he likely knew 100% the moment he heard Aldo say "Grazie," in his southern drawl. While he def was thinking about possible dangers, and his interrogation techniques supported that, a lot of the time he seemed to go above and beyond the necessary steps purely for his own enjoyment

Yes it is. But now I reckon JOKER takes the cake for TENSION movie. I almost squeezed my glass of wine to smitherines during JOKER.

Fair enough. I do feel that JOKER tries to get a wider range of emotions and focuses on trying to get sympathy from you alongside feeling tense about what's going to happen. Whereas Tarantino is aiming to get you feeling anxious from the get go and for a variety of scenes with characters you don't even know. Most of this is not only done through the storytelling (like in JOKER), but it can be from something simple like the framing of a shot, having that shot hold, and the reaction of a character. I get what you mean, but I still feel like IB makes me feel more nervous, especially when you think about how long the tension lasts in the scenes. Either way, both films do well at this.

Uncut gems takes that for me. The amount of anxiety that movie gave me should be illegal.

@@Sloofdme I felt much more tension in Basterds than Joker.

@@Sloofdme Reassess that claim after you watch UNCUT GEMS

Es ist praktischer und bequemer den Daumen zu nehmen statt den Ringfinger. :P

@@HowIamDriving I'm not so sure that's true. Quick hand signs like that are ruled by muscle memory. Remember how you learned about flipping the bird probably at around 10 years of age and it seemed really difficult at first? Signaling numbers with your hands is the same. Any potential spy would have to spend days in occasional repetition rewiring their brain just on such a miniscule detail. Someone who's used the mid-hand fingers for signaling 3 all their life is going to say the same thing you did about their own way. 😉

@@Krawurxus I know what you mean, but at least my pinkie finger and ring finger are connected by "webbing". So it's difficult to move them completely separately. Maybe it's easier for other people.

In France too we do this hand sign for three !! I didn"t know that was a cultural thing before watch this movie

@@emiliebrooklyn3963 I think it's actually a European way of counting. We do the same here in Italy

How can people not recognise Mike Meyers, his reveal of the plan sounded so like Dr Evil I always expect him to bring his little finger to his mouth when he says _"blow up the basket"_

I love this movie but him in that part always takes me out of it.

And nobody recognises Tarantino's go-to translator Sophie Fatale from Kill Bill as Goebbels' aide

@@slowerthinker when he said "blow up the basket" is when I realized it was him lmao

It seems impossible to me that anyone could manage to not recognize him instantly.

Isn't it common knowledge that the Third Reich would supply their soldiers with YaBa or amphetamine pills to help keep them going?

@@BrahmaDBA Yep, pervitin and "panzerschokolade" were commonly issued to German troops and civilians. Both contained some form of amphetamine.

Yup, Dexedrine.

The book “Blitzed” by Norman Ohler is well worth a read, and covers the subject well.

@@BrahmaDBA Almost every country did that, not just the Germans.

Holy shit I never knew that

Dude don't forget it's a FANTASY movie from HOLLYWOOD.

@@tanelviil9149 Think you're responding to the wrong comment bud

@@Jdb63 he's responding to every comment because he's mad the Germans lost and Tarantino made a funny movie about it

I couldn't help thinking that was Austin Powers the whole time. I guess some people know him more for Shrek and haven't seen him.

I’ve listened to Rabbia E Tarentella more times than I can count. Truly a master of his craft. May he rest in peace.

The fun thing is that Christoph Waltz is fluent in German, English, French and Italian.

Yes, he says something like "let me hear that tounge roll" and then after that he says "good job! well done!" like he is well aware that it's all fake. You would never say "good job" to a person who is speaking his own language.

@@mikeystevens4784 even funnier is that Daniel Brühl who plays Frederick Zoller is fluent in 6 languages

6:15 Yep, right there

But 'Dominic DeCocco' just making that italian gesture without saying anything is the REAL comedy gold in that scene.

Technically Lt Raine didn't lie. He does speak the most Italian.

@@vincentdelacroix5428 i died at that point

@@lightup6751 i died at Aldo's " Arivertherechee "

Waltz is Austrian though. But it is totally possible for a SS officer like him to be Austrian. And yeah, what a pleasure to finally see a Hollywood movie where actors perfectly speak foreign languages, and not some weird half-ass version of French or German, to which Americans don't have the knowledge to know if it's correct or not anyway.

Yeah, I love that

@@NicolasCharly But Waltz is Half German if i remember correctly

Michael Fassbender is an exception though, he is a German actor playing a British character.

and also playful. A really interesting thing about his character is that he has this pure, almost child-like joy within him. Something you expect from the uncorrupted, and definitely not from someone with a heart as black as his.

Sandler would've been legendary what do you mean

Sandler is lowkey a great actor. He's just lost his touch with comedy over the years, but he's always been good in dramatic roles.

idk what you mean, that sounds like it would have been funny as hell.

@@adamolufson7338 But Eli Roth is so great as Bear Jew

@@MFBloosh He actually is a good actor, but Ei Roth was great as The Bear Jew

He said he almost pulled the plug on the whole movie because he couldn't find someone who was both fluent in all 3 languages and could act. Then walked in Christoph Waltz to save the day. Pretty remarkable how it went down and completely changed Christoph's life

Even more crazy is Daniel Brühl who plays Frederick Zoller is fluent in 6 languages

There's a film with Cillian Murphy called Anthropoid, about operation anthropoid, the assassination of Heydrich. I think Heydrich was the only high ranking nazi member that was assassinated successfully by goverment backed teams. And hitler's retaliation for his assassination was brutal.

Yep, he's forgotten as he didn't last till the end.

@@janetuss6496 It's a really good movie. If you'll ever go to Prague, visit the museum in the church where the final stand of Heydrich's assassins took place. It's a very interesting place.

@@shurik121 yup, I've seen some info about that church. I would definitely go visit if I ever went to Prague, thanks!

Hurt Locker sucked

It's honestly shocking that Waltz's win was the films sole Oscar. I saw someone post on a different video that Mark Boal (screenwriter for The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty) and Quentin Tarantino should switch Oscars. Tarantino should have won Best Original Screenplay for this instead of The Hurt Locker, and Mark Boal should have won Best Original Screenplay for Zero Dark Thirty instead of Django Unchained.

@@ClassicalMusic2002 I could get behind that, I also think that same year that Waltz should not have won for his role in Django but instead Philip Seymour Hoffman should have for his role in The Master.

@@danholmesfilm Hurt Locker was fantastic but this should of won. Best Tarantino film imo.

@@system0fadowner251 never been more bored

Tarantino is certainly masterful at casting cameo roles 😉

I’d have to agree, the look in Eli’s eye when he asks if he ever killed any Jews, intense.

@@alwayzchillin0714 It's almost like he was acknowledging his courage

yeah, thats such a powerful moment. this is the first and ONLY hollywood movie that truthfully depicted how there was a difference between SS, gestapo and the Nazis and German soldiers. its actually crazy how hollywood miseducated so many people to reduce every german soldier to a jew hating monster. private first class frederick zoller and private wilhelm were just soldiers drafted or volunteering serving their country. many didnt believe hitlers ideals, but fought for their country, families or to not get shot for treason.

@@lightup6751 That's not true. People were never shot for treason for that. + Fighting for fascist country = fascist. They were ALL complicit. People could just refuse to serve, as religious groups like Quakers did for one example. Check out Three Arrows video 'Was every German soldier evil?' Then there were acts like the famous 1943 Rosenstrasse protest, where thousands of non-Jewish wives and family members of Jewish men protested their arrest until they were released back to them and surprise surprise noone was shot for treason or targeted afterwards. 😳

Oh ok just a random verified person

What the fuck are you doing here indei? Aren't you supposed to be making heroic halo?

Oh, it is a known thing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibboleth

@@nicepunk00 I think he's saying that it's so natural for germans that they don't notice how they do so until someone tells them

@@volosh67gayo49 Of course, I myself tried to make different “threes” after that scene. I was replying to the “insignificant cultural difference” but now I see what they meant. Apologies.

Yesssss, he should definitely check out True Romance

The scene is meant to be ambiguous whether he knows who she is. My personal take is that he doesn't recognize her. But he certainly "toyed with his prey" the first time around by letting her go.

He did it to make it look real to sell the scene

Imagine if someone like Tarantino comes up to you and says "I'm gonna choke ya!", fair play to Diane Kruger for giving her consent to allow him to do it.

Tarrantino's first ever script. He should have started with it really.

He’s in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood aswell

He's in Hollywood also.

@@theRappinSpree won the Oscar for it. He was the easy choice. Absolutely killed it one of his best roles ever

One of my favourite movies. So good.

Especially the "your boy" scene

I think prior to this he played a minor role in The Bourne Supremacy (had a long scene with Matt Damon)

Damn I never noticed that... "Aaagheughaahh! Be careful, my right arm's broken!" _crack_

Before Gandolfini got fat and ate/drank himself to death

Victor Argo & Kevin Corrigan play the mafia henchman that talk to Pitt. King of NY & Goodfellas, plays Henry’s wheelchair bound bro.

a completely ingenious hitchcockian spin the way it wasn't the dreyfus's but rather perrier lapadite that became the proverbial "bomb".

Django Unchained YT edit is coming soon, full reaction is available on his Patreon already. Brandon also mentions in the beginning that he has seen Waltz as Blofeld in Spectre.
