TheGooseinator Me too beloved, me fucking too. That shit was so horrible, this whole scene is fucking cinematic gold. The tension, the persistence of the man calling the out that bullshit and the comedy in it. It’s a masterpiece.
Landa asks decocco for his name and wishes him bravo for pronouncing it correctly and pats on his back. Now how funny is that scene. Landa knows every bit about them from the beginning . Brilliant direction.
Mohan Ram also the fact the scene before this they said decocco should be the quietest because he speaks the least italian but he does better then they do
he says bravo because DeCocco's pronunciation (which is as american as it can be to a native ear) is the last nail in the coffin: it confirms Landa's suspects BUT wasn't even needed at that time, he was already sure of their mala fede, so he cuts it short, there's no need for more trolling.
@Don Buri nah he's not saying it as an end to trolling. Literally watch the scene. He makes Margheretti repeat with some oomph behind it. He wants to hear their best attempt. Dominic does better than the others and gives him a gold star for it like he's a child. He's just playing the game.
@Don Buri Taylor Flan and Jackson are right. Don Buri and Niccfin are wrong. Here's proof, the script: COL.LANDA (ITALIAN) And you? Then Hischberg breaks out the best Italian accent of the GROUP; HIRSCHBERG Dominick Decocco. COL.LANDA Dominick Decocco? HIRSCHBERG Dominick Decocco. COL.LANDA Bravo... . Bravo.
As an italian i can say that Mr.Chris Waltz has pretty nailed italian accent, a couple times it was really really perfect, like we all talk here; btw very very very very talented actor
Huh. I suspected he was fluent but his accent had a few kinks here and there, but it makes it even more surprising that he managed to learn it, speak it fluently and deliver it with a precise accent for the film. Really impressive.
This scene. This fucking scene alone should automatically show you how much of a brilliant actor this man is. Masterful work by an absolute boss of an actor.
The Basterds couldn't actually speak italian at all, so imagine if Hans Landa just asked the question "What do you expect from the movie?" in italian and the answer was "MARGAREEEEEETEEEE"
I'm from Alabama now living in New Jersey. I do that shit all the time just to annoy people. Nothing better than having a couple of bourbons and going to an Italian restaurant or deli and watch heads spin when I butcher the pronunciations.
Neo2266 I mean yes but also no, usually when an Italian word has a double consonant in it you can hear us pronounce it with a longer and usually harder sound
The best part of this scene is that Christoph Waltz doesn’t even speak Italian. He speaks 3 languages but Italian isn’t one of them. Yet he absolutely crushes this scene. Man is about as brilliant as they come.
Loved how at the end he basically acknowledged their bs by patting him on the shoulder as if he was lecturing and determining from the start how well their act was
When I first saw this movie at the cinema I did not expected this. Also the whole cinema bursted into laughter when he started to speak fluent Italian.
Aldo greets Landa with "Bon giorno" which means "good Day" instead of "buona sera" which would be appropiete for the evening, a mistake an actual italian would never make. Basically the basterds were fucked from the beggining and Landa was just messing with them.
First off, I love how Mr. Waltz can speak in German, English, French, and Italian. Many props to him for being a polyglot for these scenes. Secondly, I love how he play his character when he knows that they are all lying and just loses it. Makes me laugh all the time. And lastly, I love how he has the Americans repeat their Italian names because they know they are full of it, but when he goes to the third guy, who claimed in the previous scene he doesn't know how to speak Italian, actually gives him a passing approval of his Italian. Just the irony behind it always gets a chuckle out of me.
Speaks Italian and knew about it the whole time. Underrated part of this is he didn't squeeze them in any way and didn't ask any questions. All the 3 had to say was thank you and their names lol
I think her excuse of mountain climbing was also the dead giveaway, plus he had possession of the shoe he found in the bar so he was already very suspicious
Jehan Martinez also the fact her friends were “Italian”. Absurd when you are dealing with a German (lives above Italy, allied with it) and you have Americans doing their Hollywood best to fake accents. Obvious spies (although the far better English spy fassbender played was caught out all the same anyway).
@@anaussie213 He was caught because of small German mannerisms which he didn't know about, not something as blatant as not speaking the language. He even had an excuse for his accent.
True, a lesser writer would have him outright question them or tell them he figured it out, but here he figures it out discreetly and doesn't say anything about it. Nice detail of him checking their tickets so he knows where they sit.
When she cannot answer where the mountain is, Landa understood he pushed her so hard to spoil everything, so he stopped to let them keep on their plan. A man who cannot never be tricked
I know most everyone is raving about Christoph Waltz but I was also so impressed by Diane Kruger! She is also playing a role within a role, and her expressions are priceless especially as she realises their mission is compromised. She also really behaves like someone from that time, even down to the mannerisms of some big movie star as I imagine it.
i was just thinking that too! she is an amazing actor, she and christoph really made this movie incredible to watch. it feels like her character is so real, like she was a real person who existed during that time.
@@TheMaestro116 yeah, though to be fair Troy wasn't friendly to any of the women... really dumb texto for their parts, no Ecuba, no Pentesileia, no Amazons, Andromache was made a coward, Briseida that I assume represents Cassandra decided to sleep with the enemy, the God's roles in the myth were subtracted from the story... Helen herself was simply a prize and there was nothing the actress could do but stand there and just look pretty. It was really a modern take to gratify modern young men, I mean, even Patroclus was changed from Achilles' lover to his cousin. This movie was never written for the women in the story to shine... Eurypides wouldn't approve of it XD Excellent fighting on that Hector vs Achilles duel though.
I like how Landa's hand are almost non existent when he's speaking german and suddenly start happening properly when he's speaking Italian. Nice attention to detail as it doesn't even look inappropriate.
that is nothing ! why does NOBODY notice the wrong translation Landa asks the 3 men "what is HER name" and htey answer their own for example 3:02 "come si chiamo lei?" === "what is HER name?" and each man repeatedly stated their name instead of the lady's NOBODY picked up on that i might be the only one on the planet
@@doktork3406 lei is used in formal speech when you talk to a stranger, so he's not referring to the girl. So "come si chiama lei?" means what is your name?
@@doktork3406 lei is a formal way to refer to person that you dont know personally or maybe that is way older than you, so no that wasn't the joke, the joke is that they taught landa didn't know italian so they say they are italian in order not to speech with him, while he speaks italian and he wants a proof that theyre italian by asking their names and listen at how they pronounce them
@@doktork3406 you are wrong,the female 3rd person in the italian language("lei" which is translated with her) is used instead of "you" when you talk to a stranger or when you are showing respect to s.one, the italian "lei" is similaeto the french "vous".there isn't an english form for the italian "lei"
Man when he started talking that italian ,me and my buddy almost got kicked out from the movies back in the day 😂 the laugh we had that night ...phew man 😂
-Landa: gli amici della vedette, ammirata da tutti noi, questa gemma proprio della nostra cultura, saranno naturalmente accolti per la durata del loro soggiorno -Aldo: grazie
I like how they were making fun out of the 3rd guy for not knowing any italian earlier in the movie. He ends up having the best accent out of all three 😂
That is why He won Supporting Actor even if He must won A Best Actor in All Academy Awards. Come on Guys, Christoph Waltz is the best actor of all time. The reason I watch Inglourious Basterds over and over again ang again multiple times hehehe is because of Him. If given a chance to meet HiM My God I am so very lucky. God bless.
Tarantino is a master director not leaving anything to hazard and paying attention to everything. Before this scene none of the actors has never seen Waltz and he made sure the identity of the actor playing this role is unknown to them. His intention was to make the shot from the first time and include all the natural tension resulting from a first time encounter with such a charismatic character. Also he wanted to avoid any competition from Brad Pitt and the others towards Waltz and trying to over act the scene since he knew they can't cope with such an act ! Finally noteworthy is that Tarantino had the movie idea almost ten years in beforehand, and he waited until he met Christopher Waltz and then he said to himself, this is my guy who is going to deliver the movie
The best part, and the pure genius of Tarantino, is Aldo specifically specified that he had the best Italian with Donnie second best and the other knowing zero Italian. When it was time to enact their plot, it was the polar opposite! 😂
Ah yes. Took me a minute in the theatre to remember. I missed part of the next scene because I was trying to think were I had heard that name before lol
Genius Detective Villian vs. 4 Horrible Liars. Beautiful failure setup. Only Tarantino can make the viewer hate themselves for laughing with the villain. Brilliant.
Just an amazing scene. So well done. The whole "I know that you know that I know, etc that I'm fucking with you" and he just keeps hammering away at them and they're just trying to live it out 😂
The joke everyone misses is that in a previous scene, Raine claims he speaks the most Italian, Bear Jew the second most Italian, and Omar spoke Italian "third best." Which was then noted by the character that he spoke no Italian. Then when Landa interrogates them here, it turns out Raine is the least convincing, Bear Jew more convincing, but still ridiculous, and Omar, the guy who spoke no Italian, is somehow the most convincing.
