Taika's best acting is in Our Flag Means Death! We all know he's a hilarious comedic actor, but how he handles the drama and romance in the show is compelling and heartfelt. What that man does with his eyes...SHEEESH
@@me30000 I'm finding plenty of others who agree though. Critical Drinker's channel has lots of people who see through the trash that Love and Thunder is.
Ironically that ‘energy’ is likely the very same kind of energy that personifies all legitimate bigots; _‘I don’t care enough to attempt to understand!’_ . . . 🤷♂️
@@edwardcatt2399 bro... Taika is Jewish, I think it's pretty fair that he doesn't like Hitler :/ besides, as he said, it's not like his actual life matters for the kinda film that it was
What we do in the shadows is comedy gold. It reminds me of the comedy genius of Mel Brooks, the dialogue, the timing, the expressions, every detail just adds to the joke. The future of comedy is in good hands with Waititi.
If you liked Jojo Rabbit i seriously think you should consider watching his film Hunt For the Wilderpeople. It's truly one of his best films imo with the right amount of taika waititi campy humor along with the endearing troubles of growing up an unwanted child trying to hold on to the glimpses of happiness one experiences
I'd loved to see him talk about his character in Boy, Alamein, I think he's such an interesting character that's very complicated and probably had a lot of input from Taika's personal life and experiences, would love to see him again talking about more characters
If you haven't seen our flag means death, do what you can to watch it! Funny, heartfelt, great character study on what in means to be fighting against any societal norms. Just got picked up for season 2! Also Jo Jo Rabbit is a must, don't go in with any preconceived ideas. It's an incredible story too!
1:57 KORG reminded me of a Polynesian bouncer before Taika said it. How many times in the early 2000's some man-mountain kicked my half-conscious foot sitting in a bean-bag at a rave and said "Ey bru! You don't have to leave, but you can't sleep here!" while handing me mashed self an unopened bottle of water for free. Salt of the earth, those guys.
He's a wonderful actor on top of everything else he does. I really loved him as BlackBeard. It would have been great to hear him talk about his role in Boy.
I swear, everything this man touches is brilliant to me. I didn't think I could love anything more than WWDITS until Our Flag Means Death came out. I have thought about that show every day for the last three months.
I like his movies, but I feel like his ego inflated to the point that he can’t not put it anywhere. For example, Thor is a shitshow. Otherwise, I like his non-marvel movies 😁
blows my mind they didn't include Hunt for the Wilderpeople! his best film by some some stretch. so much heart and happiness in it. Can't help but feel it wasn't included because of how outwardly New Zealand it is.
seriously one of my favorite movies of all time. it has all the taika waititi campiness but so much heart and soul. Never have i laughed so hard at a kids movie like this since nacho lover
@Rahldemort lol your really going to argue on the use of one word? Solid priorities you got there. All those things are true. It’s the most NZ film imaginable. Its a huge part of why it’d so good. But my use of the word outwardly instead of totally has clearly offended you. Bizarre
@@WC-PO This is Spinal Tap is a great one, but I feel I like I get more laughs out of WWDITS and it has a moment near the end that tugs on my heartstrings.
@@cinemacola6398 Definitely! More laughs per minute, and you become way more attached to the characters. WWDitS 100% perfected the art of the mockumentary.
“I’m like a special little sweet little thing you find in the forest. “What is this?” Its like a magical curiosity. thats my lane.” Legend What we do in the shadows is my all tome favorite movie & show. So amazing & funny! Everything Taika does is just awesome 😎
What We Do in The Shadows is such a comedic masterpiece! I have been hooked on his films since. Favorite director n producer for sure!! Love Taika Waititi!
When I first saw and heard Korg it was like seeing one of my Maori mates in a movie. The most beautiful, sweet, funny people ever and a unique humour that he perfectly bought to the world.
This video made me really happy! I met Taika because of Thor: Ragnarok but I fell in love with the artist he is because of Our Flag Means Death, and since then I've been watching all of the things he did and his interviews. Recently I watched Boy and it was a fantastic experience. It's been a fun and inspirational journey, I can't wait for Taika's future projects! ❤️😊
Fun fact! Most revolution-era British accents sounded fairly similar to the thick Boston accent! So Blackbeard would’ve sounded like Marky-Mark, instead of Steven Merchant
I genuinely love Taika Waititi as an actor, a writer, and a director. He has such talent for telling a good stoy while making it fun and funny. Can't wait to see Love and Thunder!
Love this guy, hated Love and Thunder, but I'm not gonna make it seem like he ruined my entire life because of it, everyone all of a sudden switching it up after 1 movie. Very childish..
listen i totally understand its weird to act like youre in love with an old real life friend, but my god. he does act it very well. i cant watch that moonlight scene without making some real weird noises bc its just so incredibly, disgustingly, horrendously romantic. completely insane.
I had never heard of Taika til 3 weeks ago when I clicked on Our Flag Means Death and now I notice him everywhere. I haven't fan girled this hard since The X Files in Highschool. Sets, cast, props, lighting, costumes, fandom, writing, everything about it is perfection. One of the best shows I've ever seen. HBO needs to just go ahead and throw a few more seasons in there at least. It's one to be proud of
I really appreciate that Taika really just seems like himself at all times. He doesn't put on a fake facade for interviews, he just is authentically Taika
OH MY GOD! "There are way too many Americans in the world anyway" WTF? Well, sir. As an American let me be the first to tell you.... Yeah, you right. You totally right.
@@kkyulminHe literally came out and said he had no interest in Marvel, It’s not shocking that he made a terrible decision with Thor and caused up-rage I respect his honesty though
Stu in What We Do in the Shadows is the best. The genius of the character is the actor* just kind of stands there, but everyone around him reacts so positively towards him. (*He’s not an actor. He’s just a tech guy Waititi wanted around on camera. The guy had no idea he’d be in the movie so much or be such a pivotal character!)
btw you runined thor imo. now hes just a big goofball that cant stop with the jokes. i dont think ill ever watch love and thunder again. id rather watch the dark world
The talent this man has is unbelievable! Nominations and awards for acting, directing, writing, producing, etc. It truly is his world and we’re just living in it!
When I first watched what we do in the shadows back in 2015 it completely changed the way I viewed film. It was hilarious, witty, silly yet it had so much heart. I then watched Boy and it was that what solidified to me that I want to be a director. So thanks Taika for inspiring that 13 year old girl back in 2015.
Takia Waititi is by far one of my favorite directors and I just love his accent and every charecter he plays. korg is by far one of my favorite characters in all of the MCU. What we do in the shadows is the first movie I realized how much I adored what Takia Waitit and Jermaine Clement can do and both their accents. Side note Hunt For the Wilderpeople is such an under appreciated film.
I love watching everything that is Taika Waititi. What We Do In The Shadows, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Boy, Jojo Rabbit, The Suicide Squad, Free Guy, Lightyear, the first season of The Mandalorian, Our Flag Means Death, and of course Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder! I know he’s going to do great things for his Star Wars movie. It’s all great and fun when Taika’s around!
You forgot about his hilarious tiny role of The Preacher in "Hunt For The Wilderpeople" which he also directed. The scene he is in is so freaking funny!
He didn't do any research about the gaming world at all.... it suddenly makes so much sense. His character was a little cringe, and I remember telling my gf at the time, "this feels like a video game movie made by people who don't know anything about video games." It was funny though.

I love him lol

I watched it 2 days ago for the 4th time. One of my favourite comedies of all time.
I watched it for the first time a few weeks ago it’s hilarious one of the best and underrated comedy’s ever made !
You got it right mate ❤️
The show is fantastic aswell

Boy is easily one of my favorite movies it makes me cry every time

I was hoping they had an interview of that character in this... Oh well, Che Bo🤙
SHOCKED that Alamein wasn't really talked about in this. Boy was wonderful. And I would love to hear him talk about the Thriller haka!

Agreed!
Agreed! Love these style interviews but they do seem to leave off a character or role you think would have made the list
Honestly, not doing research on gaming before plaing a gaming company CEO was fairly accurate of him
Taika is “a special little, sweet little, thing that you find in the forest” 😂
