The greatest acting in any Tarantino film. The eyes Fassbender gives at the realization of his impending death is beautiful; and he goes out as the cheery yet stoic British gentleman he plays. Oscar worthy. The German actor hits a homerun, as he goes toe-to-toe w MF and his eyes, too, at the "give away" nails the moment. Subtlety at its finest.

He has a short emotional journey as he seems to work through the reality of the situation and the liklihood he's about to die. A nervous awareness creeps in and then the small exhalation as he comes to grips with it and prepares himself. Nice bit of acting. And well done of Tarantino for not making the SS officer a fearless and unemotional cartoonish villain but still having him behave as an actual human being in the moments before he launches into a life-threatening situation.

Secondly, the letter "ß" is not a "b" but a "double 's'" found in such words as "straße (street)", "gruß gott (good day)", and "tchuß (goodbye)". Lastly, when walking into a structure that has two or more floors, the ground floor is the "Erdgeschoß (ground floor)" and the FIRST floor is the next floor up. Nur ein wenig "Deutsche Trivia", was absolut nichts bedeutet.

The first clue the SS officer picked up was of course the accent. The second one was the Captain answering the 10th question of the game which Germans know you aren't supposed to answer. The Captain trying to escape the situation by accusing him of intrusion must've also played a role. The three fingers was just the final nail in the coffin.

A perfect sequence in everything. Among the many details there is one that I find brilliant: at minute 0:25, when the situation begins to tense more and more, there is the look of Eric the bartender. He passes from the book to the officers' table by drawing an arch that goes right up to the camera, reaching the audience's point of view. In addition to defining the space of impending collateral damage, he completely imprisons you in the scene. What a masterpiece.

My absolute favorite part of this scene is when Hickox shows his leadership when at 5:12 he basically hands the baton to Stiglitz in just one word, "Stiglitz"! 😂😂 Even more significant when taking into account how he doubted his sanity and discipline before this meeting, just makes that one line ever so much funnier and humbling!

And at this range, I'm a real Fredrick Zoller.

From the beginning til end ,the scene was so great that the actors blend on it. They're born for this scene all of them.

The best scene in this movie. Probably one of the best scenes in the history of the movie industry. The location, actors, dialogue. 10/10.

My dad actually grew up in Germany and called it before the movie did. He thought it was just a blooper. Just always thought it was cool he was able to point it out.

Out of an entire film of great scenes and phenomenal acting, this one might be my favorite. The tension builds through the dialogue then, bam! About 10 seconds of shooting. Brilliant. How this didn’t win best picture is a crime.

Americans and those of the America's, tend to start off counting with their index, followed by the middle, ring, pinkie and lastly, the thumb digit. So when he gestered for the 3 shot glasses by displaying his index, middle and ring fingers, it was a dead giveaway that he was not a German, but an American which was infiltrating, and it solidified and confirmed his inkling. It is a well-known cultural difference between nationalities for eons. At 1:34 immediately after his gesture, notice the shocked eye widening of Fräulein Bridget von Hammersmark? It is a fraction of a second before the camera switches to another shot. But in that fraction of view, you can see her eyes widen for she catches his slip as well. Then, her guilty smirk and wary body language from 1:53 to 1:56. Plus, the Majors exhale at 1:57 following his moment of clarity that things are about to get violent in which he may meet his end. There are just so many little body languages in this movie which give more context to a scene than the actors themselves verbally speaking. This is another example of just absolutely phenomenal direction by Tarantino, and the professionalism by these actors to pulloff such great and natural reactions of tell-tale signs of human behavior. I love to truly watch movies with an in depth keen viewing of attention for these types of subtle actions. It's what makes an exceptional movie in comparison to just a good movie! I tried to explain it as thoroughly as possible. Hope that helps a bit, Grant GA.

tarantino movies don't actualyl have logical fight scenes and he never wnated to create one. He is more of an artist than someone who tries to make it realistic. The shooting stopped as soon as it started. Rapid chaos after a slow starting diolouge heavy scene. It really was perfect.

Because you know a masterpiece like this is worthy of good acting. You know that you producing something amazing and timeless. Your going to be invested in it, The tension is off the charts. The whole film is a masterpiece. Tarantino's finest work I reckon, and I know everybody is going to say Pulp Fiction. But I reckon its even more than that

Hicox realized what he did as soon as he puts his 3 fingers down and looks down with a long blink. I really like how Fassbender acted this scene and emphasized the act of realizing a major mistake in displaying the British 3 fingers, not just with Hellstrom as the main focus, finally confirming his suspicions. So many moments in this film were so well acted, never mind masterly written. True masterpiece. The fan theory behind this whole scene is insane too and make so much sense. Tarantino is a genious.

That Michael Fassbender's glaze from the minute 03:57 and on is, perhaps, my favorite of all time in movies. From disbelief to death acceptance in such a style...that's how it's done.

I keep coming back to this video. My absolute favorite scene in the whole movie. The suspense, humor and shear badassery is Tarantino at his best. - Not to forget August Diehl totally stole the scene with his stellar and by now, iconic performance.

This is my favorite scene in Inglorious Basterds. I love the acting of Diane, Michael, August, and Til and how they all gelled in this scene.

I can watch this scene 1000 times in a day without getting bored

Great scene, great acting and great movie. The opening scene, the German soldier not giving up information in the face of death and this scene are some of the best in movie history. However, the Major not calmly walking away and getting the others soldiers ready to fight or at least leaving and getting a whole platoon to corner his adversaries seemed like the bravest, but stupidest thing he could have done.

There still could have been a way out. He could have said his mother was English, his father- a German and his father remarried so he had to stay with his mother in England. When he was old enough he emigrated to Germany and was reunited with his father. There were tons of people from the Baltic republics, people of German descent, who were moving to Germany. Why not somebody from England?

Aaaaargh the guy had everything perfect but the finger count! What a great subtle detail on Tarantino’s part, truly a master of his craft with this one.

One of the best Tarantino scenes of all time.Every second is tense,interesting and excellent

Classic Tarantino, one moment two people are having a normal conversation and just a scene later some of the main characters die in the matter of seconds.

Tarantino's movies, where the build-up through dialogues is so intense, the gun fire and violence which follows releases the pressure.
