The "basement bar shootout" is one of the best written and acted scenes in cinema imo. A masterclass in writing, acting and building up tension. Genius.
Au revoir Shoshanna! Au revoir means goodbye, technically, but literally translated it also means: au “until” revoir “see again” Until I see you again Shoshanna!
I feel like even though I know pulp fiction is his greatest, his masterpiece, Inglorious Basterds will always be my favourite. It’s just such a good time
Kill Bill will always be his best to me. Although as they say in that movie, if you're going to compare a Hanzo sword (Tarantino movie), you compare it to every other sword in the world, wasn't made by Hattori Hanzo. Seven of his Nine official titles so far all have the right to contend as his best and/or THE best movie imo. With a record like his, it's all just amazing.
@@crimsontide9532 I came her to say just that. Django overtakes this one easily for me. I take Django over Pulp Fiction as well, Pulp Fiction as a plot doesn’t do much for me where as Django tells a full story and has better action imo
This reaction is gonna be so good Now I can’t wait for them to watch Django Unchained. It’s always a pleasure to watch people’s first reactions to both of Christoph Waltz roles.
Mrs. October nailed it though. One of the things Tarantino is great at is making charismatic villains. Landa is pure evil, but he makes you forget it for moments.
Y'all are the first channel that I've seen that realized that Shoshana and Marcel weren't going to survive the fire. Well done! Mrs October is right about Hans Landa. He's charming and charismatic and that's what makes him such an effective villain. Christoph Waltz definitely deserved his Oscar win. Absolutely enjoyed y'all's reactions!
Brad Pitt is actually from Oklahoma. Not saying his accent wasn’t over the top-it totally was and it worked, IMO-but he’s definitely not the California native he appears to be. Love the reactions! Excited for you guys to finish up the Tarantino films!
The genius of Tarantino is how tells stories with details. Like watching Shoshana eat the creme (a type of food forbidden by Jewish law) was so stressful, even not knowing anything about what kind of food Jewish people can eat. 😐 So many hidden details, but also not so hidden!! 🤯 Happy October, Octobers!! 😅🎃👻
Actually, Brad Pitt is much more country than city as his family roots can be traced back to Oklahoma's land rush back in 1889. He was born in Oklahoma, grew up in Missouri, and didn't come out to California until after he graduated college. You'll see him again in your Tarantino journey for another classic alternative to actual historical events in Once Upon a Time.... in Hollywood. He also made a brief but memorable appearance in True Romance which was written by Tarantino and is really worth a watch. Finally, Pitt was set to star in Tarantino's final film The Movie Critic but the project has since been cancelled by QT.
The best thing to emerge from this movie was Seth Rogan's tweet after the release of "American Sniper" that we had all just watched the movie the Germans were watching in this film. His subsequent public lambasting reminds us that we're not so different from the antagonists of the film as we'd like to think we are.
Originally Adam Sandler was going to play the Bear Jew, and I would have paid anything to see him go Happy Gilmour on an SS sergeants skull with a baseball bat.
About the comment regarding Nazi and Italians: Chronologically speaking, Mussolini's Italy became fascist before Germany became Nazi. Both countries were on the same side during the war, in the Axis alliance (with Japan, Bulgaria, Hungary and so on).
One of the scary things about Landa is he is so likeable. If I didn't know better, I'd love to have him as a neighbor. I could imagine having game nights and Landa would play Pictionary with the whole family. There would be laughs and a lot of fun. Not all charming people are evil, but it seems all evil people have some level of charm.
Ahh YES, I have been a Quentin Tarantino fan for 20 years, this is true Quentin storytelling. I only heard about -Death Proof- two years ago if that says anything! Quentin Tarantino says he's only doing 10 movies and that's it, I did not realize that Kill Bill part 1 and 2 is considered one movie, I didn't even know Death proof existed😂 and I have looked up his filmography MULTIPLE times, I thought it was just a side project😅 I have a Blu-ray copy, and I enjoy it, it's like having a dinner roll as a appetizer, THIS movie is where the meat and potatoes start!!!🔥😎🔥😎🔥
Particularly ironic given that the US is currently doing a genocide. We're financing, arming, deploying military assets in support of, and providing diplomatic cover for the Gaza genocide. Multiple US agencies have already told the state department we are facilitating crimes against humanity in violation of our own domestic laws. The International Court of Justice has already filed an indictment against our partner in this. (They cannot directly indict the US because the US has said that they will incinerate the entire court with an aerial campaign if they do).
To me, this is the start of Tarantino's "mature phase". What I mean is, his films are more about the dialogue and characters now, then ultra-violence. Not that his earlier work wasn't per se, but from here he took it to the next level imo. These films are more like plays on a stage. The dialogue and performances are off the chart. Christoph Waltz is INCREDIBLE in this. Acting in French, English, Germany AND Italian fluently. Melanie Laurent is also fantastic. Her story with Daniel Bruhl (who is also an outstanding actor), is amazing. I can talk for hours about this film. This, Hateful 8 and OUATIH are ALL masterpieces imo. (OUATIH is my personal fav Tarantino).
You absolutely need to watch Band of Brothers. It’s an amazing series that puts you in the shoes of the parachute infantry soldiers in WWII. Every thing about it is a masterpiece of storytelling and film making and on top of that it’s a true story that does an amazing job at accurately telling the men’s story. Please don’t take this wrong but the education system really doesn’t do a good job at teaching history in general so most everyone tends to think they know more about history especially relatively recent US history when they graduate until they actually start reading and watching things about it on their own time. Things like WWII are just too big a scale and to intricate with way too many different perspectives to be taught in detail in an hour long history class in four years of high school even if the entire curriculum of those four years was just WWII it probably wouldn’t come close to explaining it all in all parts of both theaters of war during that time.
On another channel I repeated what I overheard from a veteran who said in Germany if you are in crowed noisy tavern and want one beer, just give a thumbs up. If you hold up your index finger, it will be counted as two. Someone commented who said he was German and said that was not true. I figure this may be a generational thing, as the guy I first overheard this from was a Boomer. Maybe a regional thing, not sure. I just know I had no reason to believe vet, who I knew, was pulling anyone's leg.
1:17:24 People who say this sorta crap are trying to make themselves feel better about getting older by feeling superior over younger people. It's been amazing watching my generation start doing it the SECOND there was a younger generation, even though we were sick to death of being on the receiving end by that point. Wild.
Great movie reaction as usual. I see you guys recognize the actor that played young Magneto, but did you guys recognize Mike Myers as General Ed Fenech? He was the one that sent Lt. Hicox's undercover to meet the Inglorious Bastards. He usually plays Austin Powers and Dr Evil in the movie Austin Powers. His character in Inglorious Bastards basically reminded you of a cross between. the two. 😂🤣
However, the last film he made (Once upon a Time in Hollywood) I believe it is his masterpiece, that's his love letter to Hollywood, it's more personal to him I believe, also the only one I saw in theaters. Inglorious is so highly revered I believe because of the time setting & twist on reality. It's the ultimate (metaphoric) REVENGE story, based on horrible true events, I think it hits home with more people! Django & The Hateful Eight are just as good CAN'T WAIT, however I'm really looking forward to HOLLYWOOD!!!🎭🎞️📽️🎥🎬🎭
Another wild ride of a movie 🤣 Walking Dead series is a must!🙏 Of you want another good movie around the WW2 era i would recommend Atomic Blonde as it’s when the Berlin Wall collapsed and all the spy’s from different countries were in Berlin at the time. 10/10 movie
Im Polish Slav..no love for Hitler whatsoever.excellent movie,, Christophe is such an incredible actor... Total Nazi in this movie.. total anti Nazi in Django..🔥🤘👍 great reaction y'all.
One of the most powerful openings of all time. Fun middle, but a *terrible* ending. His portrayal of the Germans as bumbling keystone-cops cheapens the tragedy & conceals the truly horrific nature of the state. The alternate history ending comes across as the escape hatch of an unserious filmmaker afraid to address the natural conclusion of the story he set in motion. By the end of the film one gets the sense that the historical setting simply functioned as cheap ornamentation for a fundamentally shallow Tarantino adventure. In that way, a story which plays at honoring the victims actually exploits them further.
