Brad Pitt's Opening Speech | Inglourious Basterds | Screen Bites 

"They need to be dee-stroyed."

The way he says "destroyed" is so good it's been a running gag with me and my girlfriend ever since we saw this movie haha

“We will be cruel to the Germans. And through our cruelty they will know who we are.”

This scene is how you world build. The scar on his neck for example, you can't help but wonder how it got there. He gives glimpses of his past in his speech. Just enough for us to know him as a person, but not enough for us to know his entire back story. One small speech and we entirely know the character of Lt. Aldo Raine. And we get a glimpse of the quality of character of those following him.

This is exactly why Brad Pitt is a great actor. In any other movie his hammy over the top ridiculous Southern accent would have been completely out of place but for this particular movie it works perfectly.

His accent and delivery was 10/10

Best speech. Best pitt roll. Beautifully delivered.

Lt. Also Raine for sure knew how to properly treat Nazis.

Fun Fact: when the Germans heard Americans were bringing Native Americans they started to get worried about being scalped and hunted. They heard alot of horror stories about the Indians.

0:50-0:57 I love that line.

What I find interesting about Lt Aldo Raine is that he was most likely a senior NCO who got a battlefield commission sometime early in the war and thus became an officer. The scar on his neck and his attitude and demeanor suggest that he's been doing this awhile and was in all likelihood very good at his job so the higher ups saw fit to give him his own platoon. He probably was also a bit of a troublemaker ("I've been chewed out before"), but he was such an effective leader and commanded a great deal of respect that senior leadership had no choice but to utilize him in the best way possible. Not much is revealed about him before we meet him in the movie, but that just adds to the mystique and makes him such a compelling character

i swear Quentin should make a Wolfenstein movie. It'd be lit.

Ye’s worst nightmare in this clip

We in the Smoky Mountains don't play, Brad Pitt played this part 100% accurately

Who thinks this is Brad Pitt's best best scene ever?

Wonderful opening speech! I'm from Tennessee and that is not our accent but who cares? Great movie with great acting.

I've seen this movie several times but only now noticed that the apaches are lined up in height order and Utivich is the 2nd tallest!!! Makes it even funnier towards the end of the movie when Christoph Waltz tells him that the Germans have nicknamed him 'the little man'

Just watched again yesterday. Love this scene! Sooouuuunnnd Good?! Love it!!

Everyone making fun of Pitt's accent. I've heard things a hundred times worse before. So you owe me a hundred scalps. Seriously, with all the stellar acting performances in this movie, I just can't get enough of Brad Pitt's scenes. My craving might have been somewhat satisfied with more strudels

0:37 - Ryan's grandfather

1:52 O'l boy likes what he's hearing. Lol!

I’m a trainer at a tech school and I’m working on memorizing this and doing it the first day with new students

Sometimes I do this monolog for no reason at all

Remember this is a movie. I recently saw a video of an American soldier training members of the IDF in Israel and he tried to sound like this. It was embarrassing

I must have watched this scene a 1000 times! Pure gold!

From Inglourious Basterds to Bullet Train. Brad Pitt is entertaining.

Remember when you saw this movie the first time? Nothing like seeing a Tarrantino movie or Scorcese movie for the first time.

I love the movie and I also love Brad Pitt he is an amazing actor and Noone could portray this character instead of him this was perfect casting and he played this character spot on.

From the very first second of watching this movie, I knew they had Dale Dye and other military advisors/coordinators....its too accurate to just be imagination...there's real historical props and effects on display here. Great job and KUDOS to the tech team and props department on this job.

Such a lovely speech.

My only criticism of his entire monologue is his pronunciation of "gorilla". A true Appalachian says: "GO-riller". hahhaha. Otherwise, a flawless delivery. I'm kinda baffled by how great his Appalachian dialect/accent is. Obviously, Tarantino is from Tennessee, so there must have been some rub-off/affect from that.

Deserves an academy award

Didn't realize until I read Quentin Tarantino's script that this was happening in England.

Fine! I will go rewatch Inglorious Bastards!

He reminds me of my Lt i had during my AIT.

I really like the demeanor of his character when introduced here also add to the fact he is battle hardened and through great endurance of difficulty he has become salty in the ways of war

Lt. Raine is really Cliff Booth.

If this wasn’t Brad Pitt acting and Quentin Tarantino writing and directing you’d think this was a terrible B level war movie from the 70s. But since it’s them it’s awesome.

I'm jewish, and the way he says jewish, is now how I internally say the word. So much oomph.

Good clip. USA needs to remember their values.

I love Eli Roth's smile!

The way he just starts cracking a smile like he can't even help thinking about it... Edit: By the way, there might be a few fucking fascists out there watching this without a hint of irony in their skull. You sleep well, ya hear? See you soon.

I just got back from bmq and my friend from the shacks can do this whole speech 🇨🇦

Such a fantastic actor!!!

His distaste for Nazis was hilarious 😂

brad is not that bad at comedic roles

This scene alone should have gotten Brad Pitt an academy award no cap!

Гениально!!!👏

I love the acent of Brad Pitt

Through our cruelty they will know who we are

Tenesse accent is same as Texan? he sound more texan to me

He never did better.

I love you Pitt 💂‍♂️💇‍♀️

ausgezeichnet

The uneven undercut bothers me way more than it should. Like tuck in those hairs or something

What's the story behind his neck?

But sir this is a Taco Bell.

Isn't that Domenic decoco?

This entire movie is fantasy. Imagine that, considering it was produced by clawhorns 😂

Someone from The Office hid somewhere in that scene ... Guess who ?
