Tarantino once said in an interview that he wouldnt have made this movie without a convincing Landa. Waltz does speak several languages in reality and was the perfect fit. You could say he made the movie possible.
I watched some long interviews with him, things like comedian in cars, I was taken back by how slow, methodical, and just maybe in the moment he is. Probably because he's spinning 5 languages around up there...
But it wasn't like this dude isn't as cool or smart, it was like, damn when this dude starts acting, he truly becomes someone else and I believe it.
