Arianna's first time watching Inglourious Basterds in a movie reaction. Full Reaction Here: / diegesischad Arianna's Instagram: / _aerii44 #Reaction #definitelygettingdemonetized #inglouriousbasterds
That strudel scene between Hans and the girl is even worse than you think. Because of the war effort at the time bakeries in France were using pork fat in lieu of butter because of shortages. Hans making her eat a strudel was his way of digging in the knife.
That was a no brainer. This was one of the best performances I've seen by anyone not just someone in supporting role. And in back to back years I believe it happened with heath ledger joker. Two of the best acting performances ever and I think the obvious 1 and 2 of "supporting" jobs ever. I would put waltz 1 and ledger 2 I believe but that's so hard. But was definitely a good time for great performances
@@user-sr4fq9vh7f that is true. But obviously batman can't be a supporting in a movie where he's the title character. And he out-acted Bale every scene they were in together. And while brad Pitt was great. In bastards, waltz also stole EVERY SINGLE SCENE HE WAS IN. And I doubt bale would have allowed it the other way around where bale was up for supporting and ledger as lead. I'm pretty sure they just based it on top billing and call sheets/times for the most part not matter what ho has the best performance in any movie
The opening scene with Hans and the French Farmer is a master class in interview and interrogation. As uncomfortable as it makes the audience, imagine being the focus of that conversation.
I don't speak French to have found this myself but a subtlety of the opening scene that I love is that Landa says "adieu" to the man harbouring the people under the floor which means goodbye but in a way that you aren't expecting to see the person again. He says au revoir to the girl who escaped which is essentially goodbye for now... I know that's probably not spectacular to a French speaker but pretty cool to an English speaker
I'm French, and indeed, "Adieu" means "Farewell", as in "We'll never meet each other again, so Adieu my friend". Whereas "Au Revoir" literally means "To Seeing you again" ("voir" means to "see", "revoir" means to "see again"). It's a little detail that has its importance, and that is cool no matter which language you speak :)
Arianna automatically seeing the German officer's reactions and saying (while actually he did wrong with his fingers) he said three the wrong way. She is so good in picking up information as always. It wasn't subtle but she picks it up so easily.
@@unropednope4644 Some have, some haven't. Successful reaction channels are upfront when they have already watched a movie before. Those that play pretent usually dont't stay successful long. At least that is my observation. But suppose someone is so good at consistently creating believable "first" reactions that you can never tell that it's only acting - then that's a laudable accomplishment by itself.
My favourite Tarantino movie, and probably my favourite movie of all time. It's a masterclass on so many levels. I feel that Aldo Raine's closing line (and the last line of the film) echoes Tarantino's own sentiments about the film - "You know somethin', Utivich? I think this just might be my masterpiece."
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119I recall Tarantino saying this was his masterpiece at the time he made it. He also said Landa was the best character he ever made.
That first scene with Christoph Waltz is one of my favorite bits of cinema. It is an incredible scene. Everything is filmed as if it was happy with bright colors and polite quiet conversation. but the atmosphere is intense and sinister, given both by historical context and Waltz's brilliant acting.
"Au revoir, Shoshanna!" is one of those movie lines that doesn't look like anything special on paper, but never fails to give me chills. Christoph Waltz was simply incredible in this role; easily one of the most intimidating on-screen villains I've ever seen, and yet at the same time, he's goofy and likeable. He makes you feel weird and even bad for laughing when he's funny, but that levity juxtaposed with his evil deeds actually turns his eccentricities into something twisted. He's genuinely enjoying himself, and that's the sickest part.
What makes the scene way scarier is theres two version for a French goodbye. One being goodbye and the other being goodbye I'll see you later. He used the former
One detail you might not have realized because it was very subtle: In the restaurant where Landa orders the strudel for himself and Shoshana the line "Wait for the cream" was deliberate. He was testing her. Whipped cream at that time wouldn't have been kosher. Shoshanna being Jewish would have known that. Landa was testing her to see if she would give away the fact that she was Jewish.
him asking if she had ever tried it at all was a probing question in the first place. When she said "no" that was probably very odd for someone not to have tried it, which gives a hint that she is Jew who is (if follow their rules) unable to eat it, so he presses his inquiry further but under the guise of just being friendly with dessert. Though, he also probably knew it was Shosanna the whole time shown by ordering her milk to start with, and the entire slow play with the strudel was just him torturing her to make her feel afraid that she is gonna reveal herself (not knowing that he already knows).
@@MooseBear-ob2wh I'd agree with you, but he starts off by saying the place they're at has great strudel, so the question is really asking if she's tried their strudel.
@@OakNuggins that doesnt refute what I am saying at all? In fact, the place being known for their great strudel is part of my point. A place known for their strudels, she has lived their for years, but never tried it? Odd.
Landa's "dead eyed stares" are the best parts of the movie for me. It's like someone who has you dead to rights and is giving off the sort of menacing aura that tells you your life is FIRMLY in their hands.
Love the part when Aldo asks landa if he’s going to take his uniform off cause he definitely knows from interrogating the survivors, what that meant, the look on his face is priceless
"He's kinda got dead eyes too, but I love it... maybe I'm sick?" No, that's just the wonderful and underrated Til Schweiger 🤣🤣🤣 The scene in the pub, where it transitions to Hugo getting whipped as the officer explains the rules of the drinking game, is such a great joke and Til's face sells it perfectly. He's not in a ton of American movies, but definitely check him out in SLC Punk with Matthew Lillard.
In Germany he mostly does RomComs these days - for which he absolutely sucks. So bad in fact, it has turned into a meme. However, it's movies such as this one where he shows he actually does have talent.
Feels like that's kind of the idea of the movie. This one and Pulp Fiction feel like the idea for the format is: "What if instead of the whole movie: we just do the good scenes, the ones people remember, and then that's the movie?"
In opening scene, Landa makes three simple but brilliant things, deeming Tarantino work so precise. Like a real Bond villain, Landa drinks milk, greets only one of the daughters, the blond one, seemingly being most Arianic. And choose her to pour him some milk, meanwhile amicably holding her hand but secretly checking her pulse.
Hans Landa was played to perfection by Waltz. He stole the show literally with his command of the character, the body language and most importantly, using the mastery of his linguistics in several languages to unlock the psychopathic genius of Landa.
I've seen a lot of people react to movies since I enjoy living vicariously through them watching the movie for the first time. I think you're the first person I've seen actually engage with a film using empathy as opposed to just saying, "If I was there, I'd just do x, y, z and win." Like at 12 minutes when you say you'd be too scared to show open hostility that's exactly what myself and I think 95% of humans would actually be thinking in that situation.
I'm pretty sure Hans lanza knows that it's Shoshanna because he offers her a glass of milk which puts him in compete control and he wants her to know it !
He's also testing her. If she doesn't have the nerve, any plans would fall through. At this point he's already checked out and wants to end the Reich while profiting.
Also, interesting fact, the reason he orders strudel with cream is because cream isn't Kosher in the jewish faith, so he's not fully convinced it's her until AFTER she eats it. Also, he puts his cigarette out in the cream.
@@SSD_Penumbra Cream skimmed from milk is kosher. It's cream skimmed from whey that might not be (it depends on the whey production). However, during the war the strudel probably was made with lard instead of butter, and mixing dairy with meat (which includes animal fat) is not kosher. Also worth noting that almost all Jewish religious law is suspended when needed to save a life, so she would be perfectly in the clear to ignore whether or not the food was kosher at that point. Decent chance Landa knew that and was gauging her reaction or just watching her squirm more than expecting her to try to avoid eating it.
I have no words for how much a love Tarantinos movies. The suspence, the beautifully filmed ultra violence that almost looks like dancing, the insane dialogue, the music, the humor and the way he can make every actor bring his a-game. It must be such a treat to work with him. Challenging, i am sure, but amazing.
Dude I love watching these reaction videos. It’s cool getting to see someone watch some of my favorites and react exactly as they were intended to. Great channel with cool content. Thanks for sharing and I hope you enjoyed the classic that is the Inglorious Bastards 🤙🏼😂
1:00 This is what I appreciate about Ariana's reactions. Right off the bat, as opposed to most folks who react (or even hang out with in person) would think that through; "No SS just comes to 'hang out'." She already gets without the film needing to spell it out "Stuff is serious right now." It's perfect.
I'm not sure we watched the same film. It pretty much does spell *everything* out, even literally identifying characters, real and fictional, along with personal details!
The first time I saw this (in theaters), during the opening scene, I was sweating profusely from my palms wiping my hands off on my shorts while rocking back and forth incessantly. It is very interesting watching someone else go through a similar feeling of stress.
18:02 He didn't actually say the sentence wrong, he showed his three fingers the Amercian (Edit: British) way. We Germans use our thumb-, index-, and middle finger to show the number three! Tarantino is simply a genius!
@@leonrussell9607 I know about the other actors since I live in Germany myself. My mistake though, I wrongly remembered Fassbender to be an American Lieutenant just like The Basterds.
Werner is by far my favorite character in this movie even though he only had like 5 minutes of screen time, the fact he knew he was about to die a brutal death but yet he still refused to betray his fellow soldiers is so admirable and brave.
It's called "Fan Fiction", where you take actual pepole from history or characters from your favorite film and create a whole new story. I tend to look at any movie with an "alternate reality" (MCU, Star Trek) to be fan fiction, but sometimes they can be more fun because it can be anything you want. Or in this case, have the ending you want.
Fun Fact: The Bear Jew was offered to Adam Sandler at first but it went to Eli Roth and the narrator is voiced by Samuel Jackson On a side note, this is THE movie that made me love QT's movies. The memorable dialogue, the flashy violence, pop culture references, the ensemble cast. Everything about his movies are chef's kiss.
12:36 Worth noting here is that the word "Propaganda" was considered a neutral term for much of the 20th century, more or less synonymous with advertisement. It gained its negative connotations partly in relation to its use during the second World War, and the public awakening to the concept of indoctrination. Ironically, the replacement of the term "Propagandist" with more euphemistic titles like "Advertiser", "Media Specialist", or "Public Relations Manager" was, in itself, an effective work of Propaganda. Eddie Bernays literally wrote the book on the subject. He was a nephew of Freud, and employed a lot of his uncle's research to develop techniques of psychological manipulation. Notable clients of his included U.S. Presidents, and tobacco companies.
The smoking pipe that Hans Landa is smoking in the beginning is significant. It is called a Calabash Meerschaum, and is linked to the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. As such, Hans Landa is seen as a type of detective in his own right as he deduces that jews are hiding in Monsieur La Pedite's house.
15:20 he didn't make the RU-vid edit but the gentleman playing Churchill was Rod Taylor (famous actor who starred in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds and the first on screen adaptation of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine). Even though it was a short role he studied Churchill's mannerisms like any professional actor. I think it was his last performance before passing away. The only part in this movie I still can't stand is the choking scene. Christoph refused to do it so the hands you see actually strangling Diane was Tarantino's. Classic! The Dirty Dozen!
one of the things I found amusing was the music score as the ending was ramping up in the cinema: the same music score found in Kelly's Heros (1968) with an all-star cast starting with Clint Eastwood!
The theory is all Tarantino films take place in the same universe and this point is where his universe veers off from our reality which is why things are so much more violent in his
At the bar, when he ordered three glasses, he used three fingers but not the thumb. In that nazi age, german always used the thumb to mark a number with the hand. In that moment the nazi realized he was an impostor.
OMG. Arianna's face during the movie theater massacre was PRICELESS. You could see all the wheels spinning trying to make sense of what she's seeing. Love her!
He was already committed to it. Plus he and Apatow have been dear friends since they were teens, as shown in the very opening of the movie with actual footage of them.
Fun fact: when she was getting strangled, those were actually Tarantino’s hands around her neck and he was actually choking her out because he wanted to make sure it looked realistic.
15:30 Thank you for doing this film. Don't think we'll see movies like this anymore. This basement bar scene is probably my favorite ever. Michael Fassbender best performance also loved him in "shame" a Steve McQueen picture
A lot of people find Brad Pitt's accent to be over the top but I knew a Marine from Tennessee when I was serving and he sounds exactly like Aldo Rain lol. Looked up his character on wiki and it says he's from Tennessee!
The way Hanz Landa looks at Frenchman’s daughters for signs of fear… the way he told the Frenchman “Please join me at your table” at THAT moment I was like Oh my god you are so done because he already knows…
The script of us god damn brilliant. Its shown well in the film but if you're a film Aficionado or you studied film that all read the script, it is mind-blowing in its simplicity also so very complex on a deeper level
The look in Donnie’s eyes when he was shooting the nazis off the balcony. Never seen eyes so intense and focused before. Great acting all around this film.
Another fun fact, not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, but that first solider you see getting scalped is played by Quentin Tarantino himself. He always loves to throw himself in his movies weather it be a role or tiny cameo like this one. His hands were also the ones choking Bridget von Hammersmark. He wanted it to be real yet safe, so did himself to make sure it was done right. She actually passed out during filming from the choking. Also the narrator was the one and only Samuel L. Jackson. And the actor on the phone when Hans called to make a deal was Harvey Keitel (Mr. White from Reservoir Dogs and The Wolf from Pulp Fiction)
The scene with bad guy and Shoshanna eating lunch, very important! Because if she is Jewish, she wouldn't have ate or drank what she did. And any funny face, before she ate or drank, hw would have noticed. The helper guy to Churchill is Mike Myers, of Austin Powers and Wayne's World movies!
Landa absolutely knew who Shoshanna was. He was toying with her. You were correct. He loves the hunt. Christophe Waltz gave a perfect performance here. He was pure evil and charming. I enjoyed your reaction to this movie. I'm sure you figured out it was Samuel L Jackson that was the narrator.
Regarding the historical liberties taken with the subject matter, I actually got to attend a screening of this at JTS in NYC. There was a panel discussion afterward which included the film's producer, Lawrence Bender. When pressed about this, he asked us how the film began. After a moment, he referred to just after the title card, when the words "Once Upon a Time in Nazi-Occupied France..." appeared. The phrase "Once Upon a Time" means what we're about to watch, read, or hear is meant as a fantasy. This film is, above all, a revenge fantasy. The Basterds are all, except Raine and Stiglitz, Jews who get to enact bloody revenge on the Nazis. The cinema massacre is an act of catharsis, spelled out in Donny's eyes as he and Omar kill Hitler, Goebbels, and everyone else in the room.
Yeah it's hilarious that people miss this. They kill Hitler and Goebbels by gunfire, dynamite and structural fire. The only thing, they missed was poison, drowning and hanging 😂
Interesting part about the scene in the restaurant between Landa and Shoshanna is that Strudel is cooked in pig fat, so it is not kosher. This, along with the glass of milk, shows you that Landa knows. Moreover it shows his sadism in forcing a jew to fail to keep kosher.
a useless bit of information; Jim Bridger, the mountain man Pitt says he's related to, was also depicted in The Revenant with Leo DiCaprio. the kid Tom Hardy forces to play along with the murder.
Christoph Waltz was worried about hurting Diana Kruger, so for the strangling scene Quentin stepped in and the hands you see doing the choking are his instead of christoph
I'll never forget when I saw this opening night with my (now ex) girlfriend and closest friends and their girlfriends in theaters. Walking out excitedly and talking, and one of my best buddies exclaims "How could you not love a film that shows Hitler getting machine-gunned in the face?!"
0:32 My God, I knew that I knew this girl from somewhere and I only realized now in this reaction, she's the girl with hot blue hair from that movie lol
