Is he though? Sure, he’s great in his roles, but his mannerisms and personality pretty much stay the same regardless of the role. Someone like Gary Oldman, or Ed Norton are far better actors IMO. They disappear into their roles.
Both his most famous roles have a similar way of speaking because the roles are pretty much the same. The efficient and precise German. The genre is also the same. I’ve seen a german comedy of his where he is completely different.
What’s that one called? I’d like to see it.
Gott des Gemetzels. It’s pretty good, but the type of movie we had to watch in German class.
I’m only seeing that its original language was English. Did you watch it dubbed in your class?
No way. It actually was filmed in English. I did not notice. Walz dubs his own stuff himself. I do faintly remember the movie taking place in France although the actual location was never mentioned I think.
It plays in NYC.
One of my favourite movies of all time.
Wait what. Ok I’m done. I’m going to delete my account I can’t recover from this. The movie seemed good tho and my point still stands. Christoph Walz does not play the German stereotype and his performance is different from his stereotypical German roles.
Not to make you feel old but these movies are over 10 years old.
…but they just came out!
aren’t we all mate.
I’m definitely over 10 years old
Which films
Django and… shoot, just search for ‘tarantino nazi film’
Inglorious Basterds
Also, his character in Django Unchained was an inversion of the Magic Negro trope: a very white character who exists solely to develop the main character.
That’s a pretty big stretch for his Django character.
His archetype, you will find, is just called a “mentor”
he really is. when I see him in a movie i know it’s going to be a ride.
