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.

[–] JayObey711@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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?

[–] JayObey711@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

Thank you! I'll check it out.
