Quentin is one of those people who ride the fine line between genius and psychopath.
That's the thing. He's a maniac with a talent for making movies.
fun fact: the scene where Frau Von Hammersmarck was being choked? They did that for real, and that was Quentin himself choking her out.
Hes one well respected maniac
He reminds me of a slightly autistic person on coke.
Interesting observation. He acted his part in 'From Dusk To Dawn' a little TOO well
I feel like Quentin Tarantino just talks to himself in the mirror when he gets home
Idc he is a genius psychopath.
Who else would get him?
That’s where he gets the best answers.
Doesnt everyone talk to themselves?
Janet Jackson according to your ass
The way Christoph Waltz talks in real life is identical to the way he talks in the movie
I didn't understand about 20% of his speeches in the movie but in all of his interviews he speaks more clear.
You mean Hans Landa
@@zacstat english is not my first language but i understood everything? lol maybe its exactly because english isnt my main tongue but
@@deprimeplatypus490 well, English isn't my native language too. Probably you're just know that better then I do. What's your level of English btw?
@@zacstat There are levels of English?
I love how Hans Landa says he loves his nickname in the beginning to intimidate the French farmer, and then later he says he doesn't care for it when he attempts to gain Aldo's empathy/trust. Genius
just rewatched it for like the 5th time and caught that
@@OGinferno93 yup
Great observation, never caught that
It's called common sense.
Yaknow I just watched it for the first time and I thought that was supposed to be a time thing, like in the 2 and a half years he didn't like it anymore, but I like your interpretation more
"It's not like I'm a professional screenwriter" - Tarantino, Quentin
he`s a professional prick.
@@sodiumlights Ha dumbass?
@@sodiumlights OH GOD
He is an utter fanny!
He's one of the best ever
I need a 12h Mini series.
Gothic,"purse" zip code no repeats forever,watch that Stallin and Bulie " these eyes",I see mJ.S. paragraph here I cover a "thr." as I look at the hair of mC.J.S. forearms "oh it is not going to repeat on the Earth tip forever for me and some no matter what,ahh.,eternal life,said.
Gothic,"purse",I read you all this to watch Adrenalynne scare us and Janet M. to get f'd in the a!!! at a players club,I was going to say,"wallet no repeats forever",things that make you go uhm.
Hateful 8 has a mini series on Netflix I believe.
@@greyvex8135 Yeah, so he might as well do this one. Then retiring after 10 films wouldn't be so bad.
pretty much 1st sentence outta my head when I heard it too.
I love how Christoph Waltz completely overanalyzed the expression "here's the thing"
Hes pointing out how the "thing" is bigger than they are, the thing being whatever Quentin is talking about at the moment, most likely to Waltz he would be talking about a scene. So when Quentin tells him heres the thing, he can realize the thing , or the movie in this case, is larger and more important in the end than they are
@@firstlast6437 yeah i got that from the interview. However, its a pretty common expression and Tarantino probably isn't trying to convey that deeper meaning every time he says it
@@CrazySailor1637 yea he does it with bingo too when he says "That's a BINGO!!"
And that's connected to the clips punch line as well ...
He didnt overanalyze anything. Multiple other actors have expressed the same opinions about Quentins use of that phrase.
its cool to see how Quentin Tarantino loved Christopher Waltz so much he put him in his next film Django a couple years later and Waltz was absolutely perfect for that movie too
Christopher waltz looks so faking cool with ss uniform
He got Oscars for both of these movies
it was the exact some role
@@frederikbobo821 It is not
Waltz only agreed if he was casted as a non-vile character
Christoph Waltz was amazing in this movie. A year later and I wasn’t notified of 10 thousand likes? Sad
Exceptional. What a remarkable actor.
One of the greatest villian ever! I think only in this movie and the dark knight, the villian outclassed everyone in the movie.
He's one of the greatest of all time
he is amazing in every movie
I thinks that's a bingo .. it's just bingo BINGO!!
Funniest part is when brad pit is acting like a Italian and the way he speaks that language hands down
R L “bonjourno”
Gor laa mi
BAWNJURNO
Arrivadurrchee
that entire scene is hilarious.
Both Waltz and Tarantino seem like people who would joyfully give you a tour of their Lego collections.
C. Waltz had such a soft, beautiful and relaxing voice.
You will love him in the movie Alita Battle Angle. he is like a father figure to her as she is a cyborg found rebuilt by him Doc Ido. And the movie needs to do well blue ray sales for a sequel so everyone grab a copy for your family!
And don't forget his incomparable charisma and unquestionably good looks!
I love the first scene with Colonel Hans Landa interrogating the French farmer. It's so good.
It is but it should have been cut down - it builds suspense brillantly but then just goes on.
It's probably my favorite scene from any of his movies. It does kind of drag a bit but it's so well done and the acting is incredible.
@@jordanadkins2427 Everything okay at home bud?
Such a Quentin Tarantino classic too. In most if not all of his productions, the beginning of the movie starts with an overdrawn conversation too build suspense.
au revoir shoshanna!
"My movies aren't real, but it could have been real if the characters were real". Bold statement.
meaning nothing in the movie was fictitious for its time. from the dialogue, locations, guns, explosives, characters, etc. all matched the time and place of that era thus being a fully plausible story.
The characters were real. It is just classified information. Trust ME
@@HugoStiglitz88 ooookay budy lmao
@@newp0rt More like meaning that big political, history influencing events can be changed or lead into different directions by individuals, by YOU. that's what he's saying with talking about "if there would've been a soldier like that, goebbels could've made a movie about him, then there could've been a theater premiere with hitler and then there could've been a group of bold people who wanted to prevent hitler from continuing his atrocities and so blew up the whole bunch of nazis" etc. he's saying the next time a dangerous totalitarian regime rises up, there's always a chance for the folk to change history. i guess
@@berizont you're digging a little too deep bud
There was literally only ONE choice for the "Jew Hunter" and that is Christopher Waltz. NOBODY else would have pulled that character off as natural and convincing as him. I think, overall the cast was spot on! I was just glad there were subtitles for the scenes with Brad Pit, lol.
I honestly feel like him and Denzel Washington could be the same person😭😭
@@kakap0788 Im a native English speaker and you are correct, his accent is very fluent and easy to understand.
The point of brad pitt was to represent a jewish-indigenous partisan who pmuch just spoke english and had that super obvious GOLAME accent (imho)
@@ldsjohnl Ah yes Denzel. The most overrated and one dimensional actor of all time
@@shazaibbiazahsDenzel is 100% a better actor than Brad Pitt. Brad can’t even act good with one character, he’s horrible. Denzel should have got an Oscar in 1992 when Brad Pitt was still making hair spray commercials.
Christoph probably did one of the best acting jobs I’ve ever seen in my 50 years.
How is this movie a decade old already :(
life flew by. Could literally be last year.
It only feels like time flew by because people haven't forgotten the movie. Conversely, "The Shape of Water" seems like it came out ages ago.
Woah
True.
@Jitter greatness and craftsmanship have no expiration date
Waltz: "He says: Okay here's the thing." *a second later* Tarantino: "Um ... now the thing about it is."
That is intentional. It was intentionally edited to have Tarantino use that expression directly after the clip of Waltz discussing that expression.
Oh I'm so glad I'm not the only who caught that hahaha. I lol'd as hell xD
@@dylanfarnum4121 Oh no shit Sherlock
@@mokameng8743 You should direct the no shit at the original commenter, not Dylan
@@qaiser648 I wont because, thats not my intention, dylan basically r/wooshed
Watching Terentino start literally sweating from mere passion in his own talk is remarkable. A genuinely dedicated artist.
"OOOOOOHHHH That's a bingooooo"...
The best part
You jus t say Bango
Matthew McConaughey gives a great performance as the producer in this interview
Hilarious😂😂😂
That's Lawrence Bender actually, but I get it, it's a joke...
@@glypharte375 Bruh
Johnny Long Boi lol
😂😂😂
The opening scene alone is epic
Peter Petruzzi simply incredible. One of my all-time favorite scenes
@@Howard2k3k After the opening scene, I looked around the theater and everyone's eyes were wide open and many jaws were on the ground. It was at that point we all knew we were in for one hell of a roller coaster ride.
The opening scene is the only good scene in the movie.
@@PotSmokeGuy Well thats not true.
@@PotSmokeGuy Objectively false
8:37 Quentin: "Kill the Nazi's!" made me laugh so much :) World class directing right there.
Alec Baldwin needs to watch that part.
@@starlord157 bruh xD
Christoph Waltz’ acting versatility is INSANE. One of best in the movie industry.
“It’s not like I’m a professional screenwriter” This, coming from a man who is arguably the best living screen writer.
He sees himself as a professional filmmaker of which screenwriting is one tiny part of a much larger tapestry.
Sorkin edges him imo
@@rorywhelan_ QT is my favourite, but Sorkin is a genius as well. Newsroom was fill of deep characters.
@@rorywhelan_is that true?
I love Sorkin and I've seen most of QT films and love most of his films, but Christopher Nolan has written some of the best stuff, ever.
Christoph Waltz made this movie special.
LE I f-ing love Christoph Waltz
If you haven't seen Alita Battle Angle you should give it a chance he is so brilliant in that movie too.
Same way he made Django special
Big Eyes
I'd go out on a limb and say he made this movie POSSIBLE
Christoph Waltz is a living legend. We are very fortunate to be able to see this man in movies.
Have you seen Alita Battle Angle?
@@Gangareo i didnt. is it good?
07:23 Christoph: He always says “the thing”.... Quentin 5secs later: So here’s the thing
Still one of the finest films I’ve ever seen
Because you haven't seen many movies
Stewie Griffin I’ve seen 189 movies this year alone, dude, and counting
But you must be young. Not more then 25 years old ?
Stewie Griffin yeah
@@stewiegriffin6503 imagine acting like other people have bad taste when your profile is based off of a family guy character
Kudos for brilliant editing with... The thing
The thing... kzhead.info/sun/eNmlZKh7gX1-nZE/bejne.html
@PP Wieners okay.. mr. pp
@PP Wieners okay mr. pp
I was imagining Quentin telling me the thing, and then...instant gratification.
PP Wieners you obviously don’t do anything with editing and don’t appreciate other people’s work..
God I just cant get enough of Quentin's energy and excitement, you can just feel how fondly he cherishes the entire process from this video. Got me some goose bumps at the end there as well
He loves movies so much, its so charming.
I just saw him at an appearance in Portland, Oregon, he played the movie Rolling Thunder, which apparently is one of his favorites, and he sat down with the audience and watched the movie with us. So here I sat with a beer, Quentin effin' Tarantino about ten feet away, watching the great '70s revenge movie with us all. Man it was glorious
i love how christoph waltz speaks it’s like natural asmr i just want him to tell me a lullaby
Half of this was, WE LOVE CHRISTOPH WALTZ
because he is fantastic
Also think it was amazing they didnt let Waltz see their enthusiasm. Thats the 'business' side of being the producer. They didnt wanna show that if they hadnt of found him, or he them, the whole thing would collapse and you (Waltz) could demand a bigger contract.
He MADE that movie
@@alejandroserrano7755 i agree with that statment on a whole other level
@@alejandroserrano7755 There were very few people in the world that could have played that role ! It's such an amazing story !
That scene at the table in the pub is one of my favorites of all time.
It pulls you in so hard I actually didn't realize the whole 30 min scene was in another language..
@@nikkimelay5293 You know you're so right I never even realized that until you said it. It's true!
I live the bar shoot out though like that part where one of the guys says something like "I've got a gun pointed at your balls"
Probably the best movie scene in history ??🤷🏻♂️
It's damn good. So damn good I lost my mind 😂😂
I loved when Christoph Waltz was explaining "the thing" and it cuts to Quentin saying, "Uhm, now the thing about.." its so cute lol
Waltz: *talks about Quentin and "the thing"* Tarantino: "The thing is..."
I’m so excited for his new movie “Once Upon A Time... In Nazi Occupied France”?
@Nosferatu So why did he spell "bastards" with an "E"?
Chris Hahn because there’s another movie called inglorious bastards from the 60s i think
Chris Hahn just the Tarantino way of spelling it
It’s the legal way of spelling it
Cooper’s Kill’n Maybe with a southern accent from Brad Pitt’s character
“Donnie!” *shot of empty dark tunnel* “yeah?”
we got a nazi who wants to die for his country......oblige him....
Thank you! never thought about it. Freaky weird funny decision
Very different shot in the script, changed for the better.
A lot of the characters are memorable but Christoph Waltz and his portrayal of his character is hands down what stuck in my mind ever since I first saw the movie. He’s my favorite actor of all time. He’s something else.
5:32 i guess you could say he waltzed in there
I hate you
Fuck you
My God. Diane Kruger, what a beautiful woman.
but a super bad actress
Buffoonus Troglodytus Mélanie Laurent is far more beautiful.
@@chimichangapoops6244 Agreed
Norman Reedus is a lucky man although I prefer Melanie Laurent too
No ass though...
Looking at the trailer people must’ve thought the movie would be a cheese fest. Golly would they be wrong. The dramatic scenes with Shoshanna alone would earn this movie awards.
And you said, "Golly".
Who would have thought that? Not like it looks that way, or that people don’t know who Tarantino is. What a strange statement to make...
I'd say the 2 best scenes don't have Shoshanna in them
I cant even imagine the amount of effort and discipline it takes to keep high-profile actors in-line to get your vision portrayed. The return of Quinton's actors shows respect that he's making art and not box-office bullshit.
Opening scene is one of the best in movie history. Just like you couldn't make Pulp Fiction without Samuel L, this movie isn't a movie without Christopher. Phenomenal character and masterful performance.
A MINI SERIES!?!?! Dammit Quentin! Give it!! GIVE IT!!!
Not without Christoph Waltz. The rest are good but he owns that film.
He sort of turned Hateful 8 into an episodic series on Netflix. Extra extended version of the film, anyway.
God, I wouldn't have expected Diane Kruger's English to be so perfect. Whenever I see her speaking English in movies, she has an accent - turns out it's put on.
Exaggerated for the character somewhat, sure. But she still has a relatively strong accent.
She doesn't have an accent. It's ironic she has to fake a German accent.
She has an accent in the interview; obviously she plays it up for the film, but you can clearly hear that she has an accent in real life.
I don't care if she plays the part speaking Mandarin Chinese with a British accent. She's facking gorgeous.
@@xyjames She has a very subtle german accent when speaking English. If you were German, or have been around a lot of German people you would notice pretty quickly
For me, the bar scene is the best scene in movie history. The build -up, set-up, execution, dialogue... work of art.
Waltz is truly frightening in this film. Everything about his performance is masterful. What I found the most eerie was the fact that he was often so calm and softly spoken yet is was as frightening as someone yelling at you
Oh Quentin, 10 movies from you is more than we deserve but less than what we need.
Yes but if he goes on to write novels like he says he wants to do then I would definitely read those. He's not just a great director he's also a great writer, he won't retire from creating and that's all I want from him.
Regular directors: "Ready....Action!" Quentin Tarantino: "KILL THE NAZIS!!!" ...I know which approach I prefer
I agree with Tarantino
Business isa boomin'.
@Scott Your implied antisemitism is entirely unwelcome here. Kindly fuck off.
@Scott Ladies and gentlemen, here's exhibit #1 of crazy homeless person on the street with a tinfoil hat everyone tries not to make eyecontact with when walking past
Thank you Scott - nice to see someone with a brain that functions :D
Tarantino feels like that teacher that I you liked because they were always so nice, gave not too much homework, actually taught you something, and/or was all around good, but you would sometimes be amazed or weirded out by how enthusiastic they were about their job or subject.
Christoff is a genius. I though he's role was one the best plays ever
"It's not like I'm a professional screenwriter" - Quentin Tarantino. Yeh right mate. You are my favourite screen writer who makes my favourite movies. You Sir are a professional.
he has 2 oscars for screenplay
I think he meant that he doesn't do it "for a living", as in "day job", as in he doesn't need the money and makes movies when he wants to, so he's not screenwriting so much so that he has developed a "system" as someone that's a "pro" (for the money) would, hence the whole "starting from scratch each time"
Inglorious Basterds is in my top 5 favourite movies and features one of the best if not THE best villain in any film IMO
@Axel Stabursvik cool keep it to yourself
I feel the same way about The Dark Knight and Heath Ledger
Christoph Waltz and Heath Ledger are both hands down portrayed my favorite supporting roles in cinema history. And they deserved the Oscar for Best Supporting Male Actor.
I can listen to Christoph Waltz for hours, the way he speaks even in real life is a lost art.
Love this! Thank you Quentin for finding Christoph!
i saw him on austrian television a lot... always in some cheap TV films but always outstanding, talk about underused...
How dope would it be to have a Quentin mini series?
Brandon Blair he did make the hateful eight a four part mini series on Netflix.
@@JasonXBeats Is the hateful eight on Netflix different from what was released in theaters?
Brandon Blair yes there is a bunch of new dialogue
Brandon Blair plus all four episodes are about 50 mins long so the whole thing is almost 4 hours
@@JasonXBeats Which did you like better?
I'm literally happy for Chris Walt. Such a humble and talented artist. Deserved every bit of the magnificent role. Respect!!!
This is my first time watching a Quentin Tarantino interview and I'M REALLY IMPRESSED BECAUSE THE NORM MACDONALD IMPRESSION IS SO SPOT ON WTF
Because we love making movie. This bring tears in to my eyes. Other directors focus on money which is important but they missing the story telling. This is why I like Tarantinos movies. Unique, surprising, jaw dropping, unexpected, brilliant, provocative. You can watch it 100 times there will be all the time something that you missed in the scene and you know he done it on purpose. Which is brilliant. In this age we can compare him to Salvador Dali but Mr. Tarantinos pictures talk. (sorry for my English I'm from Europe)
He did not compromise in any way, he made the hell out of this movie.
Jesus Christ he’s simply a good filmmaker you guys treat him like he’s the second fucking coming. As if he’s the last pillar holding up the coliseum of art in the cinema. Watch more movies. Pay attention to all the other great filmmakers in the world.
And he actually made SUPER FUN movie. A lot of great director making great movie that made you, "Okay, that was great, but I am not going to see that ever again.."
Right, because directors make movies because they don't want to. What the fuck are you on? Tarantino simply has a style you love.
@@nexuswolf780 I think you misunderstood, in part, what he wrote.
Inglorious Bastards...as a 12 hour mini series...would be AWESOME!!! DO IT!!!!!
With the same actors hopefully
id love that
I literally want another film like this with Christopher waltz 😭🙏
The transition from Christoph Waltz talking about Quentin Tarantino's figure of speech 'the thing' to Quentin himself saying "now the thing about it is" alone, earned my like. Kudos to the editor
Tarantino makes me want to try to make films... or work with him on a film.
You should do it!
@@josephveron1584 yes definitely be scared. Havent u guys seen him? Hes a psycho chasing away them reporters n shutting down interviewers.
Good luck with that. Maybe you could play baseball and be an astro-nut too?
@@stoneblue1795 that's some loser mentality right there
He’s basically the Gordon Ramsay of film.
What he's describing at 3:20 is basically the average day of a normal working person, bless him
so true! and we don't get a trip to Cannes either! LOL
Christoph Waltz steals the show, but props also to August Diehl as Major Hellstrom. That bar scene performance was epic.
Christoph Waltz.... UNREAL. The best performance i've ever seen in any movie. What an actor.
Me: WTF KZhead, all those years and you never recommended me this?! Also Me: 5 days ago? Wooah
Tarentino is a brilliant director, it’s impossible to deny that many of his films are legendary
Tarantino is one of those people who constantly think. Like Bowie he is so creative and a perfectionist and it does show. That's why his movies are so entertaining
when at 7:21 waltz says "its about the thing" and literally two secons after that they put tarantino saying "THE THING about him..." shit me me laugh so hard
Christoph Waltz made this movie!
swear to god christoph waltz has a crush on quentin lmao, like in every interview haha the bromance
imagine being an average austro-german actor with great potential, but no one really knows you outside of where you live, and suddenly you have an audition with tarantino and a year later you get an oscar. there's obviously a reason for his crush
Star trek?
Also see his award acceptance speeches.
@@IIIRobIII And then a second oscar because of Tarantino a few years later.
Waltz is the only person possibly in the history of cinema that could pull off the character. He was mind blowing and absolutely exceptional.
This was cut together magnificently. Actors mentioning things, and then cutting to the person they are talking about showing that trait. Fantastic!
Dude, Christoph Waltz is the movie, he's just too good!
Now I want to see an actual remake of The Thing, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. . . Oh wait, that's basically The Hateful Eight.
The hateful eight is so underated, people are so lazy and can't understand the importance of good dialogue and character development
@Parker apparently even Tarantino didn't decide who until halfway in
If Tarantino could’ve made one classic horror film, it’d probably be The Thing. It’s got a large ensemble cast and is a very slow, moody, dialog-driven piece punctuated with sudden bouts of bombastic violence. It’s also very referential to classic cinema. Right up his alley.
Christopher is so articulate. I love it.
One of my favorite movies of all time! Christoph Waltz is absolutely perfect!
7:16 Nice editting, Film4
Christoph Waltz is one of my favorite actors. So damn good.
8:36 literally has me in tears from laughing so hard idk why
"It could have been a 12 hour mini series" A 12 hour version of Inglorious Basterds??? Sign me up Quentin
My favorite movie from my favorite director
The movie cast, and director is the best I’ve ever seen.
Christopher waltz is simply incredible. I actually believe every single character plays without a shred of doubt. Epic actor
For real
I dunno why. But i love looking at Tarantino's face.
thats why u gay
dunno why, but i love looking at diane kruger's face. what an angel
yeah hes fuck ugly but he makes good movies so hes cool
"There's no monitor, he's next to the camera" *shows footage of Tarantino next to a camera with a monitor*
Wow you really missed the point didn't you?
A director's monitor goes in front of his director's chair. He doesn't use a director's chair 'cause he likes to be close to the action for more pointers almost like a coach in sports. He is watching the camera's back screen which, once again, is not a monitor per se.
THE BEST last 35 minutes and Ending of ANY FILM EVER!!!! EVER!!!!! F'ing BRILLIANT!!!!
9:21 “let’s do it one more time, why?” “BECAUSE. WE LOVE. MAKING MOVIES”
Beeecaaause we looove maaking moviessss
@Kevin Contento lmao I love that clip
This was edited wonderfully, great job whoever created it
The genius of Tarantino is something I'll never get tired of. I absolutely LOVE his movies. His writing, casting, staging, ALL of it. Waltz and Pitt really set this movie to reach its highest potential
"My characters change the course of the war, if they existed" We need more geniuses like Tarantino.
One of the most brilliant films of my generation. The opening scene could stand alone as its own short film.
What I admire most about Quentin is his scripts, he's good at writing scripts for his movies. No one writes as good as him, thanks to him i became a cinephile, he's not the only director i follow, i always try to learn from every filmmaker i see, in addition, i can't wait to watch Tarantino's new movie; Once upon a time in Hollywood, honestly he's not going to disappoint
Diane Kruger was so underrated in this movie. Poor thing gave an amazing preformance but got stuck in the gigantic shadow of Christoph Waltz
I agree. But you can’t deny how good Waltz is. He had the best written character. The rest of the cast is so damn good as well, but Waltz got the best role to work with.
This movie is aging well.. seen it over 20 times and gets better every damn time
Christoph Waltz is this movie!
