@janzei Maybe it's because you (unconsciously) think that the German language is supposed to sound harsh and grating? I'm not accusing, just a suggestion. :) I think I unconsciously subscribed to the wide and erroneous belief that German is a 'not beautiful' language, but I've concluded that German is actually quite beautiful! Its sounds are sensual and very interesting.
Fuck the illusions of body perfection and eternal youth. Real timeless beauty is charisma. Christoph has charisma. Such a fine presence. He is cultured, sophisticated, clever, brilliant...In a word: sexy. J'adore!
For some reason I am thrilled to find out he is just as clever and bright as his acting is. I don't know why, but I would've been very disappointed if I were to view clips of Waltz interviewing and found out he's boring.
I have never been more impressed with and actor as I was by Waltz''s Hans Landa.
@bemurazi well, for better or worse english is erasing it from the map as the younger generations must learn English in primary school and apparently like it better than their mother tongue :(

I just wonder if a german person could listen to an English interview with the same intrest not understanding a word like i have with this interview, great language which i hope one day i will learn to the best of my abilities
@Kreisliga1000 I say it's the other way around. English is soft, specially US accent. Their R's are so soft sounds like they are out of breath then pronouncing. More like, German is a sledgehammer and english is... I don't know, something really soft that won't hurt anybody. Only your throat when you try to pronounce its soft vowels.
German is the language of poets, thinkers and innovators. Only americans find that the german language sounding ugly. The german language is the most complicated language. It's not sounds like french, its a huge precise language....
@guitar4098 for the most people, german is to difficult to learn. it's more difficult than russian or japanese (and there you have other ideographs). this language has the most words and a very strong grammar. when german is not difficult for you, be happy. the most people see it differently...
Ich muss nochmal kurz was loswerden: i-wie regt es mich immer auf, wenn welche, die englisch sprechen, die meisten thumps up auf Deutschsprachigen Videos bekommen. nur mal so gesagt..
@LadyLagerfeld hehe, das war ein witz! ich muss ihm nicht direkt wiedersprechen. auch wenn er einige seiner antworten etwas weniger komplex hätte formulieren können..
sie hat echt schlecht aus gewählte fragen und er hebelt die schlechten fragen gekonnt aus und verbessert wer ich sie würde ich mir echt dumm vorkommen
@MrChilla43 unsympatisch ist er nicht aber es scheint sich hier ein bisschen so weil sie so doofe stereotypische fragen stellen. er versucht am mindestens was intressantes zu antworten an diesen blöde fragen
@Southparkateer2 yeah that would be: es ist eine verfickt schwierige sprache ^^ but you're right. I wouldn't want to be in a situation where I had to learn German as a foreign language ...
@Southparkateer2 haha, well basically every other language is a lot harder than english. I had to learn mine (which has umlauts, accents and a ton of articles, rules etc.) then German, when it came to english.. I could really laugh my ass off about it. The only semi tough part can be the pronunciation because (US) english is so... soft. The R sounds like you have no breath at all, it's like trying to say an R and losing all your energy all of a sudden.
Bloß ein paar Worte zur deutschen Sprache (entschuldigt, da spricht die Akademikerin aus mir): Was ihr meint ist ein Dialekt, kein Akzent! Das sind völlig verschiedene Begriffe! Die Leute in Österreich sprechen den österreichischen Dialekt, d. h. die österreichische Variante der dt. Sprache. Wenn nun z.B. ein Deutscher Englisch spricht, dann spricht er das höchstwahrscheinlich mit einem deutschen Akzent, d. h. Spuren, die auf seine Muttersprache schließen lassen. Falls es jemanden interessiert.
@LadyLagerfeld Na das Blinzeln, jedesmal wenn er im Bild war, auch im Hintergrund. Und in der 34en Sekunde war ich in etwa bei 50, kann mich aber auch irren, weil ich hab echt nur schnell ud einmal gezählt ;) Versuch´s mal selbst, ist gar nicht so leicht
@theshitaIker Yeah, I noticed that lately, quite a few Austrians are abandoning their accent for a German one. They're probably out for the elitist label.
@theshitaIker Yeah, I noticed that lately, quite a few Austrians are abandoning their accent for a German one. They're probably out for the elitist label.
@likelylike aber in amerika dienen die ganzen talk shows ja der unterhaltung und da ist es auch angebracht zu blödeln. in einer 3sat sendung geht es doch intellektueller zu und ich finde seine art sich auszudrücken sehr angenehm und angemessen.
Also ganz ehrlich (das soll jetzt nich heissen das Waltz nen Nazi is oder so), nur der Typ hat wirklich voll die Landa-Art an sich, also ich mein seine Art zu reden und seine Wortwahl oO
ja ähm, is natürlich schon richtig nur hab ich ja zuerst Landa gesehen/ kennengelernt daher hab ich mich jetzt auf seine Figur bezogen.
Aber wie gesagt ich finds komisch, ich dachte das sich Waltz voll verstellt hat beim schauspielern aber er hat ja viel mehr einen Teil von sich reingebracht oO
@pukeko85 Das hat mich auch gewundert. Aber ich mag den Typen, der ist echt sympathisch. Und hans landa ist die beste Figur, weil sie so interessant ist.
@theshitaIker The word you are searching for is "hochdeutsch" or "standard german". Its an accent germans speak geographically in the 1/3 central-west of Germany and it is the most spoken accent at all.
@wuestenkamel ergänze: "ist _fähig_ hochdeutsch zu sprechen und zu verstehen, im vergleich zu anderen deutschen, österreichischen oder schweizer akzenten." damit einverstanden^^?
@wuestenkamel Ich habe DEUTSCH gemeint nicht Hochdeutsch. Und ja, in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz wird Deutsch gesprochen. Es gibt kein Östereichisch, aber sehr wohl einen östereichischen Akzent.
@wuestenkamel Genau genommen tun sie das wirklich, denn eigentlich ist alles, was nicht Niederdeutsch (= Plattdeutsch) ist Hochdeutsch ... sorry fürs Klugscheißen. Es kam gerade über mich.
@theshitaIker that's because not all austrians speak with an austrian accent and by the way when he is talking on austrian tv his accent is way stronger...i guess he just adapts to the situation haha
me too, i'm actually learning german starting 01/15/11. I've started learning already by myself. I can already understand certain words in this interview.
it would be like the different between i do not speak german and i do not speak any german. german is a really beautiful language once you get to know it! viel spaß!
interessant zu sehen, wie es aussieht, wenn der schauspieler intelligenter ist als die interviewerin und nicht solche 08/15 floskeln von sich gibt, wie "wow, it was a honor to work with him, he's amazing because he's awesome and incredible great -awesome!"
Ein Schauspieler, der eigene Gedanken hat und den Leuten nicht unbedingt das zu hören gibt, was diese gerne hören würden. Gut, dass es so etwas noch gibt - Danke Herr Waltz!
for some strange reason this video is giving me the impression that it's difficult to speak german.... I mean in general, I;m not talking about a foreigner learning german....
it sounds..... I don;t know... very scientific?.... also the verbs are at the end.... is it just me or does anybody else feel that way?
well it is not difficult to speak german in general, but you are right with your feeling , cause christoph waltz is speaking in a very intelligent and poetic manner
@bbphnix It is not really scientific, perhaps the grammer is slightly more difficult than english, but anyone could learn to speak it if they put the time in . Also not all the verbs are at the end of the sentence, only the second verb. For exampleI like to play soccer, would be Ich mag Fußbal spielen (I like soccer to play).
Mmm. I watched this whole thing, not understanding a word of German, just because I love Christoph Waltz :-) he's so sexy, intelligent, well-spoken, sexy voice, kind, & just fabulous. Ha :-P some of my favorite eye candy.
Finde es immer wieder amüsant, wenn Interviewer (oder Kritiker... viiiiele Kritiker -.- ) den SINN des Filmes nicht verstehen. Von wegen Nazi-Doku und so. Eben nicht! Hachja..
Oh gee but she asked much better questions than american interviewers. Or perhaps thy only sounded complex because of the slightly confusing translation XD
@divsaxena : the translation is complex because the man´s answers are complex.. I admire how he makes an effort to give honest and appropriate answers and not just dish up the same stereotypical answers as your regular hollywood actor. Quite an actor.
@Faukerz seriously! i mean, i love listening to spanish and french because they just sound sexy when people speak them but german just sounds so interesting. i can't really put a finger on what it is haha.
Aren't you overreacting a bit? The woman asked an interesting question. Do you always have to be obediently friendly? She gave Waltz a good opportunity to shine. I'd rather have such a "rude" question than the boring flattery that you usually get.
I also liked that bit about the loud and funny atmosphere not being his cup of tea.
Thats a good way of looking at the situation, yes.I dont mean to argue, but dont you think it would be better for the lady to come prepared for an interview and read up well on prior interviews the subject has appeared for.Even Christoph sounded irritated when she asks at 4:19 "how does this part affect you personally, being an actor, your acting career".
He doesn't object vehemently to the statement that Germans and Austrians know their Nazi history but the idea that Tarantino portrays history which is the crux of the question (the moral implications or lack of thereof of IG). This tricky first question aside this is a very regular interview and I don't think he's offended.
someone I know who often interacts with Germans says that they are very direct. I can see enough evidence here on this page :D I totally respect that.. I guess I ll have to be doubly vigilant while responding when Germans or Austrians are around. Thanks for the lesson SoylentGreeeen :)
@SoylentGreeeen It is 1:58 am right now in my timezone . Next time Germans are around, I wont respond to comments when my brain is not sharp enough to stand the edge of the German mind. It is not without reason that Landa also mentions THE CUNNING AND PREDATORY INSTINCT OF A HAWK that Germans possess . Please take it in the right spirit :) :)
In fact, saying WE AS GERMANS OR AUSTRIANS KNOW OUR NAZI HISTORY VERY WELL sounds so pompous and truly deserves the fitting reply Christoph gave her saying ALLOW ME TO OBJECT MOST VEHEMENTLY.
Well, I think quite a bit was lost in translation here. Germans and Austrians tend to be a bit...touchy...about that specific piece of history, so the interviewer kinda rushed through that statement, like stating the obvious. Because, you know, we probably DO know more about the Nazi era than people in other countries. And, as somebody else already stated, Christoph did not object to that statement, but to the idea that Tarantino was trying to make a historic Nazi era movie.
I didn't mean to sound pompous, either, by the way, it's just the way it is. :) We're just very well educated when it comes to Nazi history, it's done to raise awareness. And I'm all for it.
he is in fact not objecting to her saying that they as germans understand their nazi history very well. she is merely referring to the education one experencies here regarding the nazi era.
I just felt that "We germans or austrians" didn't sound that good in english, because she didn't mean, all people living in Austria or Germany. She was referring to them both being Austrian/German and because of that probably knowing the history of that time very well.
Please don't take offence but I think you misinterpret the atmosphere of this interview, probably because you don't speak German and these things are always very subtle.
They are both very polite and he doesn't seem offended to me. At 4:19 Christoph does not sound irritated and I don't think he should be, because the woman just asked him how his role affected his private life and career. His answer is not obvious, it is not something you can read up.
I have re-synced the audio with the subtitles today, so I hope the subtitles are fine now. Please native German speakers, validate me on that!! Thanks a ton to "puppetofmasters" for providing the translation for the entire text of the interview.
The lady asks very pointed questions, sometimes even bordering on being downright rude. I am still trying to sync the subtitles. Will post them within a week..
@divsaxena I'm wondering if she'd actually watched the movie before doing this interview. And even if she had, I'm not sure she understood the more vital parts of it.
Man I want to learn German. je sais seulement un peu de francais :/

Es klingt so, als wenn er sich die ganze Zeit rechtfertigen wollte, warum er in diesem, wie ich finde, beschissenen Film mitgespielt hat.

Mmm. I watched this whole thing, not understanding a word of German, just because I love Christoph Waltz :-) he's so sexy, intelligent, well-spoken, sexy voice, kind, & just fabulous. Ha :-P some of my favorite eye candy.

Finde es immer wieder amüsant, wenn Interviewer (oder Kritiker... viiiiele Kritiker -.- ) den SINN des Filmes nicht verstehen. Von wegen Nazi-Doku und so. Eben nicht! Hachja..
Aber Christoph ist wirklich uber smexy *3*

Oh gee but she asked much better questions than american interviewers. Or perhaps thy only sounded complex because of the slightly confusing translation XD

@guruguruponchan27 I am working on making the translation "less complex"
divsaxena 1 year ago
Oh no worries C: I get the gist of it anyway. It would always be confusing with a language I don't know, I suppose.
guruguruponchan27 1 year ago
@divsaxena : the translation is complex because the man´s answers are complex.. I admire how he makes an effort to give honest and appropriate answers and not just dish up the same stereotypical answers as your regular hollywood actor. Quite an actor.

Aren't you overreacting a bit? The woman asked an interesting question. Do you always have to be obediently friendly? She gave Waltz a good opportunity to shine. I'd rather have such a "rude" question than the boring flattery that you usually get.
I also liked that bit about the loud and funny atmosphere not being his cup of tea.
SoylentGreeeen 1 year ago
Thats a good way of looking at the situation, yes.I dont mean to argue, but dont you think it would be better for the lady to come prepared for an interview and read up well on prior interviews the subject has appeared for.Even Christoph sounded irritated when she asks at 4:19 "how does this part affect you personally, being an actor, your acting career".
divsaxena 1 year ago
And what did you want her to ask?
He doesn't object vehemently to the statement that Germans and Austrians know their Nazi history but the idea that Tarantino portrays history which is the crux of the question (the moral implications or lack of thereof of IG). This tricky first question aside this is a very regular interview and I don't think he's offended.
SoylentGreeeen 1 year ago
someone I know who often interacts with Germans says that they are very direct. I can see enough evidence here on this page :D I totally respect that.. I guess I ll have to be doubly vigilant while responding when Germans or Austrians are around. Thanks for the lesson SoylentGreeeen :)
divsaxena 1 year ago 2
@SoylentGreeeen It is 1:58 am right now in my timezone . Next time Germans are around, I wont respond to comments when my brain is not sharp enough to stand the edge of the German mind. It is not without reason that Landa also mentions THE CUNNING AND PREDATORY INSTINCT OF A HAWK that Germans possess . Please take it in the right spirit :) :)

Oh, please, don't flatter me like that. I think I'm blushing.

In fact, saying WE AS GERMANS OR AUSTRIANS KNOW OUR NAZI HISTORY VERY WELL sounds so pompous and truly deserves the fitting reply Christoph gave her saying ALLOW ME TO OBJECT MOST VEHEMENTLY.
divsaxena 1 year ago
Well, I think quite a bit was lost in translation here. Germans and Austrians tend to be a bit...touchy...about that specific piece of history, so the interviewer kinda rushed through that statement, like stating the obvious. Because, you know, we probably DO know more about the Nazi era than people in other countries. And, as somebody else already stated, Christoph did not object to that statement, but to the idea that Tarantino was trying to make a historic Nazi era movie.

I didn't mean to sound pompous, either, by the way, it's just the way it is. :) We're just very well educated when it comes to Nazi history, it's done to raise awareness. And I'm all for it.
Lythlorien 1 year ago
@divsaxena
he is in fact not objecting to her saying that they as germans understand their nazi history very well. she is merely referring to the education one experencies here regarding the nazi era.
I just felt that "We germans or austrians" didn't sound that good in english, because she didn't mean, all people living in Austria or Germany. She was referring to them both being Austrian/German and because of that probably knowing the history of that time very well.

divsaxena 1 year ago
Please don't take offence but I think you misinterpret the atmosphere of this interview, probably because you don't speak German and these things are always very subtle.
They are both very polite and he doesn't seem offended to me. At 4:19 Christoph does not sound irritated and I don't think he should be, because the woman just asked him how his role affected his private life and career. His answer is not obvious, it is not something you can read up.

I have re-synced the audio with the subtitles today, so I hope the subtitles are fine now. Please native German speakers, validate me on that!! Thanks a ton to "puppetofmasters" for providing the translation for the entire text of the interview.
divsaxena 1 year ago
@divsaxena The subtitles seem okay to me, but there's something funny at 2:08, perhaps a technical problem or something :)
Lythlorien 1 year ago
The lady asks very pointed questions, sometimes even bordering on being downright rude. I am still trying to sync the subtitles. Will post them within a week..

@divsaxena I'm wondering if she'd actually watched the movie before doing this interview. And even if she had, I'm not sure she understood the more vital parts of it.
