Django Unchained

[Thebumwhowalks]

Seriously though, outside of Death Proof who has actually had a bad performance?

who was crap in Death Proof? They all played their parts well. About the only part I would have recast in a QT film, was QT himself in Pulp, he was alright, but i think there would have been another actor out there who would have played that role much better.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

Maybe he should've gotten the cheesy music out of his system before his acting career. Hey, it worked for Will.

no, he did that terrible men in black song.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

no, he did that terrible men in black song.

Don't forget this gem.

Lol, that's because even if a performance is bad, Tarantino tells us it's because it's "ironic and post-modernist" and we nod our heads and believe him like the hipster sheep we are.

lol

i dont have a problem with this but its true. he creates those worlds and characters where they are so different and sometimes over the top that its hard to find a bad perforamance.

But yea i agree dark b.

Ziiiiiing!

 

[Assassin32]

And the Wild Wild West song. And the Men in Black II song.

 

[Dr. Evil]

If this film lives up to the hype, Oscar nominations for this film (multiple nominations) could be on the way. Leo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz would all be in the running as serious contenders if it lives up to the hype. For Leo, it would be that he is due to win one and for Foxx and Waltz, it would be to prove that both could put on another Oscar worthy performance. Kerry Washington is a significant longshot.

 

[Boom]

I hated Eli Roth in Inglourious Basterds. That's about it.

I love how Aldo says "Bonjourno" with absolutely no effort to disguise his thick American twang.

 

[Pink Ranger]

That scene made me cringe so hard, in a good way, the first time I saw it. I was thinking, "OMG, they are all going to die, right there, they're toast. The Nazis will win this one."

 

[The Morningstar]

Yep. What makes it funnier for me is that Aldo says he speaks the best Italian out of the 3 of them. When clearly, he speaks the worst Italian.

I also love how Landa blatantly knew what was up, but played a long for a bit, just to be a *****e bag.

 

[Pink Ranger]

You never know, he could have the vocabulary and sentence structure down, but just not the accent.

Lol did you really think the nazis was gonna win in this film?

Well, Landa more or less won. He has a disfiguring scar, but otherwise avoids spending the rest of his life in a Soviet prison or executed by firing squad.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

Well, Lanza more or less won. He has a disfiguring scar, but otherwise avoids spending the rest of his life in a Soviet prison or executed by firing squad.

Not really because everybody knows he supports the nazis because of that scar so for the rest of his life he will be treated like ****.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Meh, he can always wear a hat in public for the rest of his life. Or just claim that when the Nazi party discovered his "treachery," they tortured him and carved it into his skull as punishment.

Again, consider what would have happened to him otherwise when the Allies would inevitably win the war.

 

[Boom]

Yeah. I'm sure a man as clever as Landa could've come up with some explanation.

Still, the scar represents wounded pride more than anything. Landa considered himself untouchable, so the mere fact that Aldo branded him is probably more painful to him than being ostracized by strangers.

 

[HighFivingMF]

I wish there was an after credits scene of Christoph Waltz in old man make-up getting stared at awkwardly on a public bus because of the swastika on his head.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Again, hats. In the 1940s and 1950s, it would be unfashionable for a man to walk outside without a hat on to begin with. Unfortunately, Landa would live an otherwise comfortable life, unless some Mossad agents learned what he did and got to him.

 

[SlamAdams]

But it was also unfashionable to wear them inside buildings, so out for an idle stroll he might be fine, but if he wants to actually get somewhere he'd eventually have to take off his hat. I suppose he could keep it on and get the stare down for simply wearing the hat inside which is infinitely better than the swastika scar, but if he's ever actually approached about not taking it off that would just spiral out of control I would think.

Yeah didn't he have the US government at the end of the film set up for him to live on an island?

 

[Pink Ranger]

Wear hat in public for the rest of your life > executed at Nuremberg > spend rest of life in Soviet military prison. Landa is pretty much the victor there.

I think that was one of Tarantino's points; that the wild, revenge-based violence of the IBs in the end failed to overcome a single villain's fiendish intelligence and world politics. They had to take a personal defeat in order to allow for Hitler's earlier death and ending the war.

Incidentally, and I am aware we are going way off topic for this thread, Landa's and the IBs actions would have ended up saving many, many German lives. Presumably, the death of Hitler and other senior Nazis would have likely meant Germany's surrender to the Allies much earlier. That likely would mean the bombing of Dresden wouldn't have happened, the bloody fight to the last man in Berlin wouldn't have happened, and the end of WW2 may have been been more favourable for the Western Allies, meaning Germany would not have been divided.

I agree with your comparisons, but getting off light is not the same as winning. Especially by your own accord, the IBs actions probably led to an early surrender.

Fair enough. But there was no way Landa could have singlehandedly won WW2 for the Nazis, but he managed to secure himself the best possible outcome that circumstances and history would allow. Even Albert Speer spent time in prison.
