TAIKA WAITITI | Master Class | TIFF 2018

- Director, writer, actor, and comedian Taika Waititi's work first came into the spotlight with his Oscar-nominated short Two Cars, One Night. That early film exhibited many of the traits Waititi is now associated with: an affinity for directing young actors, as in Boy and Hunt for the Wilderpeople; an idiosyncratic sense of humour, on display in Eagle vs Shark and What We Do in the Shadows; and a particularly perceptive and empathetic approach to often marginalized characters.
Waititi's compassionate tendencies extend beyond his filmmaking, too. He has been outspoken about the environmental, economic, and societal issues facing his native New Zealand; he has fronted a Human Rights Commission anti-racism campaign; and, while directing Thor: Ragnarok in Australia, he prioritized the hiring of Indigenous Australian and Maori cast and crew members. As he works on his latest film, Jojo Rabbit, we're delighted he's taking the time to discuss his life in front of, behind, and away from the camera with TIFF's Artistic Director, Cameron Bailey.
“I just want to be liked.”
How incredibly vulnerable, heartbreaking and yet stunningly beautiful. I love this man with my whole heart.

He's honest. I saw another interview where he expressed his appreciation for leading a normal life for so long. Without a doubt, one of the very few, perhaps the only truly genuine big name in modern cinema. I love how he has no intention of being another cliché. I get the impression that he is always surprised his work gets such recognition.
How lucky he was to have parents to encourage him to be an artist.
It makes a huge difference.
@@han5234 So rare
just one thing if you ever come across this video: GAY PIRATES WIN
SO TRUE, gay pirate brainrot
💗
They need to fucking renew it already
What’s up

He is so funny all the time. But if he speaks about his parents for only a few minutes he starts tearing up. You can tell how deeply he feels about everything.
He's such a genuine playful person with a rly grounded sense of life... could listen to him all day - him n Jermaine could do a killer podcast.
Literally the best idea
>.< how do we ask him about it lol
Hit then dm's. Tell everyone. #JEIKAPODCAST
Hm I'm worried about the perils of People Power so could get behind #JEIKAPODCAST
*if u feel like talking shit & don't have other projects in ur heart after JoJo Rabbit n What We Do in the Shadows 2 😋😋
They are too immensely talented for a podcast... we need them in projects :)
Watch his anti-racism adds. They are seriously next level great and typical Taika.
Are they on TH-cam? I feel like I’ve seen everything that is his on here.
@@breeburton3782 the video is called "Give nothing to Racism", by the New Zealand Human Rights Commision. It's typical Taika.
We need more people like Taika in this world. Not talking big, famous, mega-creative. But he has a humble, honest view of the world and doesn't brag about it, it just oozes out of him.
this is about the most serious I have ever seen Taika and he is still hilarious! What a gem of a human being and an absolute inspiration!!!
Devastatingly beautiful - that's how I would describe Taika Waititi. He has a beautiful mind and outlook. I could listen to him talk for days on end.
What about his face, tho?
26:48 “I think it’s actually more stressful to be in a gang and more stressful to be trying to be tough fuck people over and beat people up and stab people…”
Love this insight into some personal connection to what he brought to playing Blackbeard and go on that character’s journey.
I could listen to him all day long. Love his sense of humor - light, crazy, bright and sad at the same time
"I just wanted to be liked", that hurt.
"He's dead :(. It's fine, we're all gonna die."
damn okay
27:48 Now we know where Scarlet's line from Jojo about having to deal with being so beautiful everyday came from.
Taika is my favorite. So much heart and vision. It's so clear how his voice and perspective shape his films.
taika out here having a therapy session onstage
Have you seen his Bafta thing? That was a bit like that too. ❤️
No one could tell the story of New Zealand as well as a Maori Film Maker. i say Own It AND BE PROUD. cos we are.
I completely love everything Taika ever does
he's absolutely intriguing.
How could I adore film so much and not be familiar with this man...shame on me. So happy I stumbled across this Masterclass and discovered this gem of a human. Going to watch everything he's created now. Such an inspiring creative.
DELLA D. Wow you are in for some delight. Eagle vs Shark. Hunt for the Wilderpeople. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Watch his interviews, and watch what we do in the shadows. He is a total genius.
"Boy" is my personal favorite of his, amazing.
Hunt for the WIlerpeople, genius genre-mixing movie.
SuperFly25 I haven’t seen Boy yet, can’t find it on my streaming situations. Really want to watch it. I’ve seen the Thriller Haka and it’s pure joy.
I remember when I first fell in love with Thor: Ragnarok. Then I found out about Jojo Rabbit, then came across his other films. Oh, how I've come to appreciate this man.
He is absolute gem.
The little brother in 'Two cars, One night' is reading a book about crazy horses. In 'Boy', the father is part of the gang called 'Crazy horses'. I just realised this.
Crazy Horse, native american warrior
LOVE Taika! He is insanely funny, genuine and sensitive, kind. Fact that he is so self-deprecating, loves children, his family and can openly make fun of himself, the unpleasant circumstances around him goes to show that he has nothing to hide or sugar coat or say to make himself look good. I could listen to him for hours!
6:40 Taika honing in on the baby noises. Such a dad.
i cannot even express how much i love this guy
I adore him, ugh dear lord
The pan up of his outfit is me as a cameraman
You mean tilt up lol

''Boy"" so brilliant. a snapshot of New Zealand in the day. Exactly as it was. and still is in the far north.
Hes from the East Coast of Nz not the North
Totally agree! I’m a little older than he is and a half-caste and I can so relate to his childhood in NZ. Today I live in Switzerland, speak 4 languages and am convinced that my childhood made me who I am today. Way to go Taika!
i love his sense of humor, he was making so many jokes in the beginning of the talk and nobody laughed
There is zero chance he’d ever see this comment but it means so much to hear someone with talk about their mixed heritage. It can be so hard, but he gives me hope that our perspectives are unique and valuable ❣️
"We don't do any of that shit, we're just trying to fucking live." - Brilliant.
KORGeous
JOJO Rabbit was BRILLIANT!! and I LOVE the last answer to the last question.... perfect!
This is legitimately the best interview I've ever seen
Love that he describes Thor Ragnarok as something that gave him money above anything else lmao (get that cash Taika), though what a way to challenge himself hahaha going on to do a studio movie like that. Very nice interview. The interviewer was also very engaged and seemed like he honestly admires Waititi's work, so that's always a plus.
Taika....Brilliant !! Go Crazy Horses !
This is a fabulous conversation and a very genuine glimpse of Taika Waititi, but the auto-generated closed captions could be edited and corrected to improve accessibility (Deaf and disabled people use TH-cam too. :) )
(and the auto-generated subtitles make a complete hash out of the New Zealand accent, e.g., Taiki Waititi enjoys "writing" not "rotting.")
Just when i thought i couldn't love this man any more.... damn it!
OMG so enjoyed this interview, thank you Taika, only just viewed this March 2024. Continue to be the best you can be
Tino Arohanui ❤❤.
28:37 We're gonna see Alan Horn in the news tomorrow:
"His statements are inconsistent with our studios values, and we have severed our business relationship with him."
Interview starts at 5:05
Thanks alot
Hands down the best interview ever! English is not my native language so I wish I could understand 100% of what he is saying.
I’m pretty sure he was talking about normal powdered milk. Baby formula was expensive as hell in the 80s where I live, I can’t imagine it wasn’t in New Zealand.
Boy is fantastic!! GO WATCH IT! Then watch "Hunt for the Wilder People"!!
We love you and your art, Taika!
I need to be a better citizen and look at what tiff is offering. Daaaamn I should have gone to this live!
What a brilliant artist!
My opinion, his best movie, a short movie, "Tu Tama", fabulous.
Two Cars, one night😍
Thank you for the two women asking some good ass questions!!
Such foreshadowing for Jojo Rabbit lol. Loved this interview, I get a bit exhausted listening to him; he's so energetic.
For the love of god, give that man a cup of coffee!
I'd hate doing this type of interview tired; you're so vulnerable and unable to armor yourself beforehand.
"I was sitting in the greenroom in a g-string, eating tuna..."
Some of these comments under this video are not it. Much love to Taika ❤
this crowd YIKES
Brilliant Master Class thank you so much for the opportunity.
What a handsome man
I absolutely love him! He's funny, charming and talented! The best!
Bart, Geo and the beaws are so proud of you Taika
探险者中国 OMG I love Jknews and Jkparty
what? how are they from jk?
I understood this as well as constantly made this joke out there in the aether
he is so phenomenal, a living prophet
Skip intro: 4:55
45:08 "perhaps in September at a film festival" ... where it will win Toronto's Grolsch Peoples Choice Award!
Inapropes.... Love it! Propes to you sir!
He's really open here
one of my favorite interviews so far
Thank u for this great conversation
Tena Koutou...Taika Waititi..homegrown son of Aotearoa ♥
yr talking to one person... it's Tēnā koe! lol
@@ohnean1 I was talking to the whole chat
Did you know that 'Taika' means Peace in Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian? :))
And it means magic in finnish.
It just means tiger 🐅 in Maori.
@@jimmysmith5418 That's cool. 😊
So frustrating that the volume on his mic is so low since he often speaks softly.
Is tiff the wife of ted?
Toronto International Film Festival. Not really related at all.
Maybe ex wife.
Its a Film Festival... So no
That’s a good one 😂
Speak your truth!!!
HE’S SO ADORABLE
Churr my Bro!
Taika Watiti is a genius! #kiaora
“Google Little Boy movies” 😂😂😂
King 👑
To anybody speaking Māori: Taika greeted back with Kia ora, but what did he say back to that Happy Jewish New Year wish?
s. He said kia ora again
Taika says he began to want to become a filmmaker in his 30s but he made his first film at 27
Hes an artist first. He made a film young as a way to Express his artistry, then decided he wanted to keep doing film and movies to continue putting his art in it. He will keep doing indy films that are his own and others like jojo rabbit while Hollywood will always be knocking
well done sir 👏
kia ora for that .
He's my new Richard Ayoade.
Excellent interviewer!
love this man!😍
TAIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
O yeah baby, can’t wait to watch
Here's a link to the short 'TWO CARS, ONE NIGHT', th-cam.com/video/aFmbIO_JTH0/w-d-xo.html
All to Taika
I love his answer about playing hitler. When I saw that he was playing hitler in JoJo Rabbit, it made me giddy, because I kept thinking "if hitler could see this, his head would explode". 😂
Would’ve been nice to be able to see the clips somehow to get some context for a good 1/3 of the interview otherwise great.
essa entrevista é perfeita, apenas
Precious.
This. This is great.
What a champ!
watch tama tu aswell it gives you a sense of what maoris are like
The palpable embarrassment he exhibits talking about Jo Jo is kind of heartbreaking. Did he not believe in his work?
the whole interview has some kind of taste to it (not the content, the vibe/his aura). or is this just me? it is very much in contrast to other (usually newer) content i've seen around or like the tedtalk from doha. surprising really and I had the same feeling about JoJo. I mean, little did he know back then, but still.
ahh...from a time when people actually hugged!!!
Bring me that baby!
Крутой пацан
Thanks for the upload
Taika on stage @5:11. You’re welcome.
Means streets of Welly bro! :)
