They’re called fountain pens. The one here in the opening scene has a piston filling mechanism. I have several. They’re actually very comfortable to write with since one doesn’t need to press hard for ink to flow unlike ball point pens. Lots of specialty websites sell the pens and the ink.

When I seen this pop up... yeah, I'm watching that immediately

If you loved the cinematography, you'll also love the movie The Hateful Eigth also from Tarantino. It has great quality shots filmed with og optical cameras from the 70's.

The cinematographer is Robert Richardson, who's best known for his work with Oliver Stone (Platoon, JFK), Martin Scorsese (Casino, The Aviator) and Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained, Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood).

And another sinister fact… when Landa is eating the strudel with Shoshanna, he makes her wait for the cream. Cause the cream won’t be Kosher. Meaning that he totally knows who she is. And is making her break the rules of her religion on purpose.

From a blog: The fountain pen was a button filler which means it could have been a PENOL (Pen Olson) or a Parker. However, I don't think German soldiers would have been writing with a Parker at that time, or would they? The Parker Vacumatics had been around for quite a while before the start of open hostilities (IIRC, Germany annexed the Sudetenland in 1936, but didn't start actually shooting until they invaded Poland in 1939). Even after the invasion of Poland, it likely would have been possible for a German officer who wanted one to obtain a Parker via Switzerland or, after the invasion of France, get a French one. There were other button fillers around, too, using pressure bars rather than a vacuum driven mechanism like the Vacumatic. BTW, if it was a Vacumatic, it's entirely reasonable to "top up" a partially filled pen to ensure there's enough ink for a long writing session, and it wasn't completely out of the question to fill a pen before starting to write even with pressure bar button fillers (or lever, or crescent, or coin or hatchet or slide or twist fillers, for that matter).

QT creates the story, writes the story, directs the actors, chooses the cameras and lenses, and he is indeed behind the camera. unless he’s making a brief cameo. But even then, it is with strict instructions. you know more than I do about cinematography but I am betting that all the little quirks you noticed with the lenses, cameras, lighting and angles were all deliberate. Often times it’s a nod to the other type of film geeks out there. The ones who are obsessed with the way old movies were filmed and he shoots them in that particular way to honor them. Even, or especially if that scene had a mistake. Some people say that he is just a rip off artist because of this, I disagree. And you are right, this was shot on film. He will never use digital or cgi. Watch the Hateful 8 for a very rare camera and film combo.

Fountain pens are still very popular. It’s a rabbit-hole worth exploring!

Fun fact. The Inglrious Basards were a real nazi hunting group. Obviously this movie is a fictionalized version of them. But they really did exist. You can find a few documentaries about them (Prime Video, history channel...etc).

How would you be distracted by a pen during this iconic scene 🤯🥴

The proposed escape through Spain makes sense. Even though Franco was a right-wing fascist, he never joined the Axis (due to a disparity in Spains demands and Nazi-Germanys offers in goods and weapons). Also, even though he used anti-semitic language and positions in his speeches, he only provided the Nazis with a list of spanish jews, but did not deport them and/or limit their citizenship. Spain supposedly has the highest count of transitioning jewish refugees during WW2 with about 20k-35k. So yes, the man was heinous and a fascist. But he did not stoop as low as the Nazis did.

The pen sucks up the ink and slowly seeps through the reservoir to the tip and he writes with it. Very sexy..🥰🤣

Pickling actually requires 0 vinegar. It's fermentation-based and is a great way to store food without it spoiling without refrigeration and has been developed in some form by every culture. Just because you don't like something at least respect it's history and value. Do you but stop saying others are gross for liking perfectly normal things.... especially when technically you're the odd one.

Great choice on movie! A suggestion I might add is to over-lay the non-reversed-subtitles over the reversed video. Half of this movie is in other languages and may be hard to follow for those who can't read backwards. I've seen this movie like 35 times so I can remember what they said, but most viewers won't have that luxury.

This was Tarantinos "men on a mission" movie, he wanted to make something like The Dirty Dozen.

The gun used to kill the two guards at Hitler's box was the Sedgley Glove Gun. It fired a .38 caliber bullet and was intended for use used by OSS agents during WWII. Very few were made and surviving examples would be very rare and valuable.

We used those type of pens in the 80, maybe 90s in Poland. Definitely an experience.

The scene with the Italian always made me laugh hahaha

32:50 I do believe you are referring to a split diopter, that’s not a mask or anything done in post. Tarantino uses shots with a split diopter in a lot of his films

The way he held up three fingers is what gave him away. In Germany people hold up the thumb, index and middle fingers for 3. but he held up his middle three fingers which i guess is more common in the USA.

the pickling preserves the food, which was essential back in the day. Also, pickles and saur kraut are delicious.

This might be one of my favorite reactions!! I was laughing almost as hard as you did!

Pickling was invented to make food last longer. And sauerkraut is kind of healthy, a good thing for any army and was already used in WW1 as a part of german rations. And, well, I like it personally after growing up, not as a kid though.

First time I saw this movie... I just said... What? More I watch it, the more I see how amazing it is.

aaah.... actually.... during the 1940's people heated the house and cooked food with WOOD (and everyone used a 'fountainpen'). Spain was neutral during WW2. people went to Spain to escape the war.

I like for all my kraut to be live cultures. Live kraut is very good for gut health and good digestion. Full of vitamin C too. Orange and lemon kraut is sweet, sour, and full of vitamins and C.

Remember, as indicated at the *very start* of the film with "Once upon a time..." this is a *fairy tale* version of WWII. 😁 Tarantino had a story to tell, he didn't care about historical accuracy, and by providing the fairy-tale introduction he's telling the audience they shouldn't care about historical accuracy, either. Anybody who knew anything, knew in 1944 that Germany was going to lose -- and Landa is no fool. Moreover, he's got American commandos *in Paris* within striking distance of German leadership -- and they couldn't be kept out. So, yeah, Landa decides to cut a deal.

Spain was officially Neutral in WWII. Many people tried to go there from France because it was easier to get away through Spain than it was from the German occupied areas.

Do what you want to do but just as a bit of constructive criticism, going into granular detail over every trivial action or turn of phrase can turn people off of your content.

This could be the all time best opening scene.

The wood cutting is for firewood ain't no air conditioning

A little sidenote: there's exactly one word being spoken in Polish in the entire movie. When Hans Landa decides not to shoot Shoshanna, he says "pusty" which means empty, referring to his gun. Anyway, I enjoyed two things: the level of knowledge being displayed about moviemaking and other things... aaand the absolute disgust emanating from this video whenever certain foods were mentioned. :D It's as if I saw myself talk about onions (which I absolutely DESPISE) and even though I don't agree with any of the food takes in this video, I gotta respect someone who has as strong opinions on food as I tend to have.
