1:11 There is a scene in the film which shows the rifle of Aldo Raine and on is a carving which reads, “Inglourious Basterds”. According to the portal, the scene was a way to show that Aldo Raine could not spell and that was how he had spelled the two words. Hence drawing the connection to the title of the film.

Germans and other Europeans learn to count starting with their thumb. That's why the German three is thumb, index- and middle finger. I believe in the English native speaking world you learn to start counting with your index finger. Your way is as unnatural to us as our way is to you, that's why it's so noticable. Even though Tarantino tried to make it pretty clear by keeping the German in the frame when he put up the three fingers, it seems like Americans were pretty surprised by the turn, while the German audience immediatly knew he fucked up.

Everyone talks about Christoph Waltz and the scene with the farmer, but August Diehl in the bar scene is equally superb in terms of being menacing IMO.

By far my favorite Tarantino movie. But the first scene with Landa alone is so brilliant. And this introduced me and I think most Americans to Waltz. It's like, "Who is this guy???"

Two sequences in this film really left an impact on me. The scene where Shoshana is preparing herself, while David Bowie plays in the background. The other, is when Shoshana's face is being projected on the smoke, and she's laughing maniacally....that gave me chills!!

One of the easiest ways to reveal a suspected spy who sounds perfect is to force them into a situation where they will perform an action that is natural to them but because it isn't natural to the one suspecting them of not being what they seem, it's a dead give away. In this case there are gestures that are different that we all do unthinkingly when our guard is down because we learned them by the concept of cultural rote. That's why the German officer played the game, why the alcohol. When your inhibitions are lowered and you are feeling at ease it is much harder to maintain a facade or acted responses. If you want to see who someone truly is, get them drunk. Everything else will fall away. If they refuse to drink, well that tells you something as well.

Great reaction to Quentin’s masterpiece. Christoph Waltz is perfect in this movie!

Simone is so expressive XD You both seem really friendly, and you do a very good job.

Back in the 60s, I lived in France, and I was told about the European way of motioning "3", verses the English way, so it's authentic.

It's spelled that way because Tarantino is a horrible speller. IB steals its title from a '70s WWII flick that Tarantino used to use as a litmus test for new movie friends bc it was so obscure (if you knew what it was, you passed the test.) He hand writes his scripts and had spelled the title that way on page 1. Somebody pointed out it was spelled wrong, so he decided to keep it that way since it was "his" way of spelling it, and therefore "his" movie. also, the director of the original, Enzo Castellari, had a cameo in the movie as the guy yelling "fire" in the movie theater.

Opening scene is maybe the greatest scene ever I know its regular study in cinematic schools

The hands suffocating diane Kruger/bridget von hammersmark actually belong to quentin tarantino.

Watched this with my wife in late 2015. My MIL was from East Germany, and as a result, my wife and SIL were fluent in the language and customs. Unsurprisingly, my wife clued in on Fassbender's accent and "wrong" three, which was super cool to me. But, I'll never forget just how fast and hard our hearts sank into our stomach out of sheer dread when Landa flawlessly switched to Italian on a dime...

There are two theories about the spelling: if you read any of QT´s hand-written scripts... he ain´t the best speller in the world. However, if I remember correctly, the spelling is, according to him, because that´s how he imagines French or German people pronouncing it.

Landa is a great villain because he is the banality of evil turned up to 11. He doesn't see himself as a Nazi zealot. He thinks himself a master craftsman practicing and improving his trade. And he's willing to jump ship and swear loyalty to whoever he thinks will allow him to continue to survive and maybe even practice his craft. This makes him the perfect antagonist to the heros of the movie who are all ideologically motivated.

People always notice the misspelling of bastards but usually miss inglorious has an extra u.

incredible acting performance by Christoph Waltz.

Georges face throughout most of this movie, priceless.

I'm still fairly new to the channel, but even can see Simone is just way too wholesome for a movie like this. 🤣🤣

That offbeat drum roll when Landa appears behind Shoshana in the restaurant. You just know exactly how she feels.

I'm sure someone has said this in the comments, but, at the very beginning, when Landa grabs the wrist of the French girl, in fact he's taking her pulse to know if she's pretending that she's not absolutely terrified.

Apparently, the "Bear Jew" was going to be played by Adam Sandler, but either there were scheduling conflicts or Tarantino changed his mind (I honestly..........could see him doing that role; he IS good at playing very angry/violent outbursts like his roles in HAPPY GILMORE and PUNCH DRUNK LOVE)

Tarantino likes to use Ennio Morricone soundtracks for his movies. Morricone was know for making amazing Western soundtracks. Morricone also worked closely with Sergio Leone who created the best Western Trilogy and Western movie of all time. Tarantino idolized Leone and how he was able to created such chilling atmosphere. Leone would write the script and music first then base his shots around the music. He also played music on set to help the actors with their facial expressions during his close ups.
