Christoph Waltz is honestly one of the best actors alive today. He speaks 3 languages (German, English, and French) fluently, he can portray a Villain that you hate, or a Hero that you love to absolute perfection, and he's just all around a fantastic actor. I hope he makes movies for another 100 years. He's the Best!

In this scene, Handa says that he "loves his unofficial title of the jew hunter". In a scene near the end of the movie, he is talking with Pitt and the little man and basically says that he hates that title and that he is "a detective" and that "it was just a name that stuck". I don't believe this to be a flaw in dialogue. He is merely saying whatever he has to say as an interrogation tactic to get people to admit what he wants them to admit. Simply brilliant writing. Genious actually.

Hes an opportunist at heart. A cold and heartless one, but a good one none the less. He says what he needs to say in order to get what he wants/needs. Its why he didnt kill shoshana here or when he meets her in the restaurant. Because both times he realizes it could create more opportunities later. And it did. He was able to sell out the german high command and walk free, that is until his forehead met aldos knife

This scene reminds me a little bit with the "Coin Toss scene" in No Country For Old Men. Both scenes are nerve-racking and keep you on the edge of your seat, feature the villain and a relatively simple, quick character, talking calmly while the villain could very bring harm towards the other person, physically or emotionally. The difference is that this scene ends MUCH differently than the one in No Country For Old Men, but both still carry an impact the same.

As time has passed, I've come to truly realize what a masterpiece this film is.
The gold standard by which all Tarantino films are measured, in my opinion, is "Pulp Fiction," that was the height of his expression....but I'd argue that this film is the runner up. The acting displayed by Waltz and others in the film is masterful. Several of the scenes, such as this one and the French bar scene later on, are a masterclass in writing, film-making and directing.

Es interesante esta escena, vemos al campesino francés, siendo un hombre más alto y fuerte que Landa, pero aún así, se percibe quien es más imponente, aunque muestra un gran temple, no puede con la fortaleza de Landa, con la inteligencia que demuestra y como puede leer a las personas, que gran escena

Catzilla

This is a fantastic scene. There's an underlying tension running throughout it, because you don't know how much Col Landa actually knows. It's subtle and it's nerve-wracking. You expect him to accidentally discover the Jews hiding at any moment. I was actually expecting his pipe-smoking to trigger a coughing fit from one of the hidden people. This scene is a masterpiece of film making.

Unfortunately this movie is also full of scenes that seem like that were written by Tarantino during one of his "10-year old on meth" moments (like the Hugo Stiglitz introduction, which is pure WTF in a supposedly serious WWII movie). The tone of the movie varies wildly.

I had the same experience with Russell Crowe in his performance for LA Confidential, I saw an early sneak preview weeks before the release and I told the interviewer after the showing Crowe gets an Oscar for this performance the lady laughed cause I'm sure she thought it was a cute response.

Thinking about the aftermath of this scene... I reckon Landa was such a megalomaniac that he & his soldiers just left the farmer & his family alone after the massacre, ensuring that while they would be scared straight (not to mention mentally scarred from the experience!), they would always remember him for who he was. Fascinating character and a well-earned Oscar for Waltz, holy shit.

L Ron Howard

8y↑9

Conor Doyle he has no reason to kill the farmer and his family. The farmer gave up the Jewish family, and landa got what he needed. No reason to kill another innocent family, probably more of a hassle that he wants to deal with anyway

L Ron Howard

6y↑7

What are you thinking? True, but remember landa is more about the hunt than the kill. He could have easily killed shoshanna but chose to let her live because he already got what he wanted. And like the op said, letting them live is probably way more effective as a scare tactic; the family lives to tell the horror story from this day and everyone who heard would be scared shitless and would def be discouraged from hiding other Jews looking for safety

Honestly landa Does his job efficiently, he loves hunting more than the actual killing (hes a detective) which is technically why he let shosanna go so he could hunt her, killing the farmers family when they exposed the jews wojld go against his "morals", he's the type of guy that keeps his promises like how he said nothing would happen to the family if they exposed the jews, which is what the farmer did

The cast in Inglourious basterds is literally perfect. Daniel Brühl, Brad Pitt and Diane Kruger among more talented actors. Especially Christoph Waltz. He nailed his role as Hans Landa. One of the greatest actors alive!

"I'm aware of what tremendous feats humans are capable of once they abandon dignity"...that's an amazing line and so true.

I watched this movie with a couple friends after we took LSD. It was the longest three hours of my life. The scenes where Lando interrogates people had me sweating, and I swear I could hear my friend's heartbeats! I never felt so much anxiety

A villain so well written that no one could bear his death.

KeySpirits

He didn't die though

no one

I really hope that there will be more actors like Waltz. The man is a legend. Great acting skills and fluent in other languages (an asset for any actor). The man is old, he is not going to make alot of movies. It is sad that he only became this famous after inglorious basterds.

They ought to create an award specifically for this scene. Waltz is a mad genius.

Dana Nazarbayeva

Only genius actor as Christoph Waltz can portray such an evil monster as Landa in such incredible way. He showed us that he is intelligent,cunning,witty and smart. Great job!

This is a fictitious account of a "jew hunter" on the prowl ... but i wonder at what point in this scene in this hypothetical universe did the jew hunter know exactly where the kids where hiding?! ... Christoph plays this "conniving" charcter so well and the scene is orchestrated so beautifully with the tension building up that it makes me wonder if the dude knew from the beginning where the kids were but he was simply toying with the farmer and his victims for his own sick pleasure .... this is one of my favorite movie scenes

Maybe I'm reading or perhaps "seeing" too much into the scene - but the art direction and lighting here is also truly amazing, however, it isn't spoken of enough. It has a surreal effect, almost like the actors inhabiting 2D world of a painting. Especially, the parts where both are seated and the view from the window - it is like an impressionist Still Life painting. I like to think it's a logical extension of the juxtaposition of unspeakable evil with the gorgeous beauty of the countryside.

Acting is very good here and throughout the whole movie for Waltz, but Tarantino's script is a killer.

Christoph Waltz is the best actor who exists. He plays the role so good, that you instantly hate the "Hans Landa" character. And this psycho grin... Amazing. One of the best films.

This is one of the most intense movie moments in history. This French farmer has brass balls man…

Great script, will done Quentin. Spectacular performance by the bounty hunter Christoph.

It's weird how you can find someone so evil so likable, solely because he has class and has a smooth way of doing things. A sense of respect is earned towards them which is actually kinda like you're blinded towards his actual nature, which is still evil.

Kinda shows how dictators/serial killers/mob bosses earn so much love and respect from a lot of people.

This scene in German is incredible.
Watched the movie the first time with a friend a few days ago, never was a big fan of movies.
He kept switching the language throughout the movie. Hans Landa, being played by a German (well, Austrian), dubs himself.
Also, it makes more sense for him to switch to German, really, as opposed to the neutral ground of English.
