I love that y'all have no intro, or preview, and just get down to business. I wish more channels would follow your lead.

“It’s kind of a spoiler that they won’t kill Hitler.” Quentin Tarantino: “First time at one of my movies?” 🤣❤️

Love the actors that genuinely spoke the languages.

"That's a Bingo!" ... one of the best lines in cinema history 😅

Nominated for 8 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Best Supporting Actor Christoph Waltz

This is one of my all-time favourite movies. It’s a masterpiece.

It's cool how you got Samuel L Jackson's role in this film. A lot of reaction channels are like "Where was he???" He was the narrator in this.

The Brits don’t call the Americans “Gerries.” They call the Germans the “Gerries.” They call the Americans the “Yanks.”

Michael Fassbender has a german father & was born in Germany but his family moved to Ireland (his mothers country) when he was only 2 & he grew up there. So he is far more irish then german although he doesn't have an irish citizenship. & I think he has also in real life a irish/english speaking accent when he speaks german.

the Allies called the Germans 'Jerries'.

The Gestapo officer in the basement tavern is August Diehl, excellent in a film called Tattoo. Worth a watch.

Hi Ket & Kot!😊 Nice to see you crazy kids. Christoph Waltz gives an excellent performance here as Hans Landa. This film really launched his international acting career. That was a good catch, Ket!😉 Most people don't realize that is Michael Myers. Shoshana (Melanie Laurent) is a French actress, but she actually is Jewish. Tarantino has been known for making historic films with alternate endings. Great reactions to this refreshing alternate version of history, Pillow Hero Kids!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

That one commander died because he had too much pride too point out the map. But 2 minutes later they still got the location from someone else. He essentially died for nothing except honor and pride. I always found that interesting.

Hugo Stiglitz is a Real One!

as austrian im so proud of christoph waltz acting landa,damn hes good,even august diehl and michael fassbender are unbelievable outstanding his their ss officer role

As an American I feel so seen here. Lol I have a thick southern accent and I only speak English. I love this movie so much! I hope y'all will continue down a Tarantino rabbit hole. I really enjoyed y'alls reactions and commentary!

As a Frenchman, I've always been amazed by Christophe Waltz's French. I would also say that the French word for "black" is "noir", so it's not what you think at 13:40. It is indeed the bad word they used. Also, most of us can speak at least one more language besides French (I can speak English and Spanish, for example).

As an Italian, I literally almost died laughing when the girl in the video at 29:44 said 'Porco Dio' while smiling, since in English means 'Dirty God'

I like how you guys mentioned indians(native americans) in your comment when seeing them actually scalping nazis by saying Jewish Indians that made me crack up being a native american myself 😂 gained a follower

"I'm gonna give you a little somethin' you can't take off." Fun Fact: After this movie, Rod Taylor retired. Taylor watched multiple videos of Sir Winston Churchill to get the former Prime Minister right. Hands Off Fact: In the scene where Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) strangled Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger), the hands doing the strangling are those of writer and director Quentin Tarantino. Historical Fact: When Francesca (Julie Dreyfus) mentions former UFA actress Lilian Harvey, Joseph Goebbels (Sylvester Groth) throws a tantrum and screams never to mention that name in his presence. Lilian Harvey had to flee Nazi Germany in 1939 after helping Jewish choreographer Jens Keith escape to Switzerland. Truly Cosmopolitan Fact: Roughly only thirty percent of the film is spoken in English, the language which dominates the film is either French or German, with a little Italian. This is highly unusual for a Hollywood production. Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) speaks the most languages in the movie: Four (English, French, German, and Italian). Casting Notes Fact: Despite playing father and daughter in this movie, Denis Ménochet is only nine years older than Léa Seydoux. Quentin Tarantino was considering abandoning the film while the casting searched for someone to play Colonel Hans Landa, fearing he'd written a role that was unplayable. After Christoph Waltz auditioned, however, both Tarantino and producer Lawrence Bender agreed they had found the perfect actor for the role.

the Allies called the Germans Jerries, other non American Allies called Americans Yanks short for Yankee.

Wrong about the fingers: The Germans use thumb, forefinger and middle finger for 3. Everyone else uses forefinger, middle and index. Nothing to do with which direction the hand is turned.

I knew a music teacher in Latvia who was conscripted into the Nazi army when they occupied the country. It was a truly remarkable to talk to him about his experience about his time in an American pow camp.

The first 20 minutes is a master class in cinema

12:13 The focus on the cream was intentional. Jews cannot eat dairy products, so Landa wanted to test who he suspected to be Shoshana. Had she refused his suspicions would have been confirmed.

It's obviously open to opinion but when Tarantino speaks to the audience through Aldo at the end, "I think this just might be my masterpiece.." I personally think he was right.

The cream on the strudel scene was Landa testing her. Due to WW2 rationing, cream was made from pigs fat not milk. So she could not have eaten it if she was Jewish. That was what Landa was waiting for.

American here. Thank you so much for watching this. I hope you and your families stay safe. Rooting for you. Subscribed.

No, he just looked away from the movie, because afterall he had to have endured a certain level of trauma from fighting, killing and surviving for days straight.

I think many people miss that cheering for the basterds in the first act is basically the same as the Nazis cheering for Zoller in the cinema.

Christoph was menacing in this movie

You guys should watch Tarantinos other films if you have not seen them yet 👍 Pulp Fiction is my favorite movie ever!

Top 5 film for me. I've watched a few dozen reactions to this movie, but yours is the most satisfying. Thank you, guys.

Good reaction. I like when you surmised that there are some people who, after seeing this movie, would believe WWII ended with the Hitler and a lot of the high command dying in a cinema in Paris. You are probably correct, sad to say.

German Fighter Pilot 352 shot down Iron Cross deluxe. American Fighter Pilot 28 shot down & Medal of Honor.

I know I'm not alone in this one but I really think Christoph Waltz stole the show! What an excellent bad guy, brilliant performance! He actually had to learn some Italian for this role. Tarantino thought maybe the character Col Landa was to difficult to cast. Until Waltz showed up.

Great reactions as always, wishing the best for you two

Lot of Russian will tell after war that they was against the war. His war simvol is litera Z.

Not suppose to be accurate, QT likes to bend reality just like in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

6:57. If that German soldier is wise enough, he’ll probably intentionally mislead “the bastard” By pointing his finger To the wrong location on the map.

Excellent reaction..I loved your faces at the Shootout scene in the bar Fantastic. BTW....When she was getting choked at the end of the movie...That was Tarantinos hands,he really choked her till she fell near unconcious...Also in the Bar, Fassbender gave himself away because he placed the wrong 3 fingers up in the air when asking for 3 glasses.

lol i love the "well it's kind of spoiled because obviously they won't kill Hitler..."

Mad respect for jumping straight into the reaction

Near the beginning when they show the the longest sustained shot of a scalping (blurred here), that was Tarantino being scalped. If you look at it not blurred he is recognizable.

Django!!!!

Also, Americans enjoy making fun of ourselves, using the stereotypes bestowed on us by Europeans. But, it's important to remember that these are still stereotypes. We're not stupid. We're not culturally unaware. We don't all only speak English. #1, our country is MASSIVE. We can't just jump in the car and drive to another country like many Europeans can. #2, we don't have paid "holidays" where we can spend weeks at a time, traveling to other countries. #3, we all have mandatory foreign language classes in high school. Depending on size and funding, these are usually Spanish (Latin American Spanish) and French. This makes the most sense because of our proximity to Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Canada. #4, whether anyone likes to admit it or not, we have been the top global superpower for decades (and are closest allies with Great Britain). This means that, obviously, English has become more and more necessary for people in other countries to learn, for the main purpose of job acquisition. In previous decades, most Americans spoke multiple languages because of the high number of immigrants from all over the world, who came here to survive. Another very important factor is that we have Hollywood. Our movies and TV shows have been an extremely valuable and highly demanded global export (as evidenced by your own channel). Naturally, people have grown up learning English by watching American media. My cousin, who was born and raised in Norway, learned English entirely by watching American movies and TV shows. My point is this: please do remember that American stereotypes are exactly that-- stereotypes. It's important to recognize that what you see and hear on TV or from friends, isn't necessarily true.

"A river there chief"

Literally the only basterds to survive was Brad Pitt and BJ Novak lol

Michael Fassbender is Irish German.

'Jerries' was what the British and American forces called the Germans. (Ger-mans, Ger-ries, Jer-ries).

Only Tarantino could make a movie like this, and he does it well. Hope you guys do some Coen Brothers films. Like ,Fargo, No Country for old Men . I think you guys would enjoy their movies.

Great Reaction !! There was a Real Unit like this, This Movie was Loosely Based on that Unit

You guys need to watch JoJo Rabbit. It's a funny but sad story about a young boy who is part of the Hitlerjugend and who has an imaginary friend who happens to be Hitler.

Some really amazing scenes in this movie. This movie taught me the term "fuck a duck!"

Every detail of the movie is perfect, especially the detail in the sweet scene; Jews never eat sweets that way because it is a sin, imagine that Muslims do not eat pork, the same logic. btw:hello from istanbul

The movie inside the movie is an exaggerated version of "our" movie, the main story. We get pleasure from seeing Nazis get theirs and think it's ok, just as the Germans love the meta movie. Tarantino is letting us look at out own reflections, even though I think he'd agreed it was good the Allies won. He might even be mocking us a bit.

He put the shoe on her, as in the Cinderella scene.. and said, "what's the American expression?" ... The answer is.. "If the shoe fits, wear it" Or.. if the glove don't fit, you must acquit.

Fassbender is German Irish...

Cheers from Chile Love you, guys

That part about Landa not liking the "Jew Hunter" nickname, I think he pretends to hate it to scurry sympathy with Aldo. He thinks by framing it as "some of them were Jews", that it's just a part of his job, it would help him secure a deal with Aldo's superiors with favorable terms. Men like Landa doesn't suddenly dislike their title, unless it doesn't benefit them.

Bon jorno! I'm curious, what languages do you speak?

Michael Myers’s also played hitler as well as the Englishman

The shot of the cream was important. At the time of the war, cow's milk was scarce in several regions of Europe and reserved only for people of high rank, and only in some areas. So, they used pig lard to make cream and butter, reserving dairy products to only milk itself. Jewish people cannot eat anything made from pigs. So, not only did Hans Landa order her a glass of milk to remind her of the day he slaughtered her whole family, but he essentially forced her to eat something that is strictly forbidden in her religion. You can see him watching her eat it, with pure joy on his face. He loves to torment people. We see this in the opening scene. He drinks several glasses of the dairy farmer's milk, which would have been already carefully rationed: most going to high-ranking German soldiers, and only a little for his own family. He KNEW the family was hiding in his home before he even went in. There were already check marks next to each name on his paper, which indicates that Landa knew they were there and knew they would be "taken care of". He tormented this man, his family, and the hiding Jewish family for his own sadistic pleasure. What I love about the dynamic between Shoshanna and Colonel Hans Landa is that Landa knew exactly who she was, but he didn't consider her to be a threat at all. In his mind, she was not even worth a bullet. In his mind, she was just a Jew, just a girl, just a young person. He assumed she was weak, frightened, submissive, and lacking in dignity or strength of any kind. He assumed that she would be too afraid to fight. After all, the first time he saw her, she was hiding under a floor then running away and crying. As intelligent as he was, he had NO IDEA about her brilliant plan. 😂

My broers best friend, his grandfather was Jewish immigrant an he joined the army was the inspiration for the bear jew they have all his medals and accommodations. His name was Leo.

Americans don't need to speak other languages. We're the main character.

another great film, another great reaction!

When the camera is close up on her being choked, it's Quentin Tarantino's hands that are choking her. And to be honest, he was really choking her. She was freaking out a little bit.

You talked about the German propaganda later in the movie. You have to watch Jojo Rabbit because it deals with more of the same themes, but from a kid's point of view.

What country are you guys from?

So the scene when he says wait for the cream was great. Cream was made from pork lard at that time. He knew

Germans are Jerry's

We can do subtitles, but people aren't used to it. So it means less money, which means the industry would rather not do it.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE React To the movie Fried Green Tomatoes or Misery

Awesome that you guys loved the movie! I also loved his use of languages in the film. As an American, though, I will say that 99% of us will never have a single point in our lives where we need to know another language for any reason(except Spanish.) Half of the 1% who does speak a European language could maybe use it on a vacation. The other half of the 1% either has a language for work or has close family who use the foreign language in the home. For almost every American knowing a language like German or French or Polish is about as useful as knowing Latin. You'd just never use it. As for most Americans not wanting to watch movies with subtitles - that's true. I watch everything with subtitles because it helps me retain information better but most people say they don't like it. I think that's because it's different as, again, most Americans will rarely watch things in foreign languages so they're just not used to it. That being said - every person I've dated has converted to using subtitles because once they're used to it they prefer it. My parents have switched as well. I do think reading subtitles while watching does sometimes cause you to sometimes miss some nonverbal communication. I use the terms "99%" and "1%" as extreme example as these are not the actual statistics. Technically about 20% of Americans speak another language, half of those are not American born and the majority of it is Spanish. So 10% of American born Americans speak a 2nd language and a majority of it is Spanish. It's fair to assume that as you add generations of separation that statistic gets even lower. Point is most Americans whose families have been here for multiple generations don't speak any other language and don't ever need to. Over 90%.

Any Tarantino film that starts with "Once upon a time..." will NOT be historically accurate.

love and blessings!

"Can you Americans speak any other language other than English?"...we don't have to. That's the real answer. There is very little need or incentive to speak another language here. A lot of people around the world are bilingual, so it's not like it is super hard.

FYI, Brad Pitt Does Actually have Native American Heritage. So his script “ I Got a Little inJ*n In me” Must’ve made him uncomfortable.

Arrivahderchy!

"Negro" is not really a slur the same way as the other words that sound like it. Although its definitely an outdated term and people would probably look at you strange if you used it. It basically means black and it was an archaic way of categorizing people. Its also how you say black in Spanish.

Micheal fassbender is Irish lol even though he has a German sounding last name.

"Looks like the shoes on the other foot..." LOL That isnt even a expression.... I dont know what Aldo the Apache is even saying hahahaha!!! I think he meant... Put yourself in someone else's shoes... LOL!

You do realize a higher percentage of Americans are multi-lingual than Europeans

6:25 The role of The Bear Jew was written for Adam Sandler but he turned it down, but we can all imagine how powerful this would have been if a Jewish comedy legend came out of that tunnel rather than of a relatively unknown horror director. Instead of a total shock for the audience, it becomes an inside joke of an obscure homage to Takeshi Miike appearing as himself in Eli Roth's _Hostel._

Just curious, I promise I won't criticize, your profile says u.s. but you kept mentioning Germany. If so, fine, welcome to the u.s.

G'day from Oz , I have not observed Mr Goose for a while , Have your Feline friends taken him out ! . Kot I like your Gothic Style and Ket I like your barbed wire Tshirt bit too constricting for me . I have Tshirt bit like that bit with drips of blood 🩸 I'm actually going to wear the shirt to the doctor thus week

In America, we have the term "Gallows Humor". The Gallows are literally the platform that people stand on before they are hanged. If you aren't familiar with the exact name in English. But Gallows humor usually refers to jokes told in an awful situation to alleviate tension.

The chapters are very incongruous. The first chapter is one of the best movies I have ever seen, and if it was a standalone would have won the Academy Award for best short film. The rest of it is 50% not-too-bad and 50% pretty good. But that first chapter is just amazingly sublime, and without it, this movie would just be a piece of trash cinema

yinz guys need to listen up, american is the best language and its all that is needed 99% of the time.

I would love for you both to react to another terrific Tarantino movie “The Hateful Eight”, it has an amazing cast and is dark & hilarious.😊

What is so funny?

arr you a russians? or gangsters?

It’s funny that most of these ‘Nazis’ they killed weren’t even Nazis strictly speaking. Nearly all of them were wearing the Heer lapel insignia (except for Landa, Göbbels and that Sturmbannführer)

Liked your comment about the language at the end. I prefer natural language as it conveys the actors abilities better. But unlike a lot of Americans I like to read. Train to Busan wold have been ruined if it were dubbed in another language.

Slava ukraine 💙 💛

The soldiers dont deserve that,the soldiers follow orders,nothing more...

Europeans acting like North America isnt the most important thing to ever happen to them

“Oblige him!” And at that point I knew I was watching a masterpiece Tarantino movie. And as a Massachusetts native to get the Fenway Park reference right after… 🤌
