Vucic Bastards


The most interesting character in the movie Inglorious Bastards is by far Christoph Waltz who plays the role of Hans Landa, a high ranking official of the Nazi party bent on finding jews in hiding . First and foremost, I have chosen Waltz as my favorite because of his stunning performance on screen. His character stood out most because it was so believable. Brad Pitt's character was well done as well but when I saw him on screen, I knew I was looking at Pitt rather then Aldo Raine. Waltz's character allows you to really get into the movie and start hating this guy. This guy is the most ingenious character in the whole movie. Waltz will talk to you in front of your face and win you with his charm in a matter of seconds, then the next thing you know he will turn it all around on you and be on the floor strangling you to death. Waltz is easily the most compelling character in the entire film and stays that way throughout. Furthermore, Waltz steals the scene of every scene he is in. Pitt is supposed to be the major character in the film but every frame that Waltz appears in has your attention immediately directed towards him. Rather, he demands your attention because he so wonderfully pulls off the sly and cunning character traits that are required for this role. Waltz is one of those characters that we love to hate and leaves a lasting impression on us well after the movie is over.
