I was so upset by the movie's ending! Colonel Landa was a very intelligent, handsome, refined, and elegant gentleman who redeemed himself in the end by bringing an end to the Third Reich. He did not deserve to be brutally mutilated for life by a knuckle-dragging hillbilly. Does any else agree?
shareI do. I just saw the movie. Last scene was not cool at all.
sharebwahahaha...NO!
shareAfter all the war crimes he commited? Please!
shareShirley, you jest!
Landa
This is sarcasm I suppose.
shareOf course not . He didn't commit war crimes., doing good for your country during war isnt a crime. It's the same way they treated Herman Goering, the guy was a fking war hero in ww 1 , a ace fighter pilot and because he ran the air force for Germany they blame the camps on him.I'm so glad he burned those bastardss and committed suicide, took all the glory away from them killing him. The pieces of *beep* wouldnt even give him a soldiers death, they wanted to hang him.
shareThere is a difference between "doing good for your country during war" and just being a horrible human being. Hermann Goering, like it or not, founded Gestapo and was responsible for the first concentration camps. I don't understand how the camps helped Germany during the war in any way. So in conclusion, he deserved to be hanged.
shareI don't understand how the camps helped Germany during the war in any way.Cheap labor that helped the war effort. share
TIL ordering your men to shoot and kill a bunch of innocent civilians hiding under floorboards is not a war crime.
shareI think you misunderstood his motivations.
He didn't care about the jews, nor did he despise Hitler. He simply was intelligent enough to see that the Allies would eventually defeat the Nazis, and decided to act on it to his selfish advantage. He wanted to get out of being punished for believing in Nazism, a cause he still believed in at the end of the film, with added benefits for his greedy self. He didn't redeem himself, he was going to gain himself power out of greed. And he didn't end the Reich because he despised it, he did it for his own ego. He did it to get out of punishment. He did it so he'd be untouchable and undeniably loved, something Nazi's did frequently when they changed history.
So this ending is a good thing, as he doesn't fully get away with this awful scheme of his.

I agree with your take on it. He got what he deserved in the end, as gruesome as it was, he committed in the sum total of his career far more gruesome things, in my opinion.
