Also I keep circling back to what would've happened if Hicox didn't give them away cuz it's such an interesting plot hole. Obviously it was Wicky and Hugo that was supposed to go with Von Hammersmark but Hans recognized Hugo in the tavern so he sure would've recognized him too in the premiere?? Or maybe any other high ranking official??? What then huh. Maybe you could've swapped Hugo with Hicox but there's NO way that man was blowing himself up lol I don't see him on a suicide mission. And he'd give them away too then πͺ such questions
very well aware this post is almost a year old but i wanted to throw my 2 cents in as an inglourious basterds lover and archie hicox stan to say that taking into consideration the suits were already waiting in advance to be fitted to their specific men, the white suit aldo wears to the premiere was more than likely originally intended for archie to wear.
it's an homage to james bond, with archie being a british spy
it doesn't make any sense that archie would be left out of the original lineup for the premiere when the entire reason he was picked for operation kino, aside from his decorated military experience, was because of his knowledge as a film critic and film author
Hiii Tumblr still confuses me but I read somewhere this is how you answer when someone reblogs you lol
First of all hi!!! I just downloaded the app again and seeing this post made me so excited that someone still caught something from all the way back when I was posting!!! And second, omg I would neverrrr slander hiccox that is not what I meant at all π he didn't strike me as someone willing to blow himself up, given as how nervous he actually seemed to be in the tavern scene. But I love the guy haha I've been writing some fics with him and Hammersmark and I'm thinking of doing some OC stuff too!
Plus, I think the detail about the clothing is so interesting I would've never linked it!! I love all the details in this movie. And yes, even though I've watched it approximately 15 times already, it was only on my last two rewatches I really paid attention to his dialogue before being briefed on operation kino. I think it's very interesting that for all his love of cinema, he couldn't act to save his life (literally lol). I love interacting with other fans <3<3 thanks for reading my post
