Inglourious Basterds (2009)
In Quentin Tarantino's WWII war-time revenge fantasy
about the end of the Third Reich:
- the farmhouse scene in which SS Colonel Hans Landa
(Christoph Waltz), with the unofficial title "The Jew Hunter," spoke
to pipe-smoking French dairy farmer Perrier LaPadite (Denis Menochet)
about his goal of searching for Jews, suspecting that the farmer
was sheltering enemies of the state by hiding the Jewish Dreyfus
family somewhere on his property: ("...a German soldier conducts
a search of a house suspected of hiding Jews. Where does the hawk
look? He looks in the barn, he looks in the attic, he looks in
the cellar, he looks everywhere he would hide, but there's
so many places it would never occur to a hawk to hide. However,
the reason the Führer's brought me off my Alps in Austria
and placed me in French cow country today is because it does occur
to me. Because I'm aware what tremendous feats human beings are
capable of once they abandon dignity")
