- Sometimes first love is found in the most unlikely of places, like in the carpark outside the Te Kaha pub.

TWO CARS, ONE NIGHT (2004) | dir. Taika Waititi
/ foxsearchlight
“i’m 16 eh bro?”
“he’s 9”
“i’m 16 right?” *winks*
“shut up i’m reading” i love this little boy
I love the Kiwiness of it
me too and i love how he’s into his book and agreeing to everything he’s asking him 😅
I think this perfectly gets those times when you’d become fast friends with another little kid at some event or park, then one of you leaves with your family just as quick. No contact info or parents meeting each other, just goodbye. “Probably see you later” “Yeah, probably”.
I love the way boy tries to pretend he is older . This is really a touching video that reminds one of a child's point of view . Cheers
Lies again? Grab CDG
just to never see them again
I had a couple of these fast meets and goodbyes. Truly some of the most beautiful moments to experience, especially as a kid. Very nostalgic to think about
Waititi is a master at capturing the simple, subtle sweetness we have, particularly as children - even in so short a time as this film takes.
You can also see how the short film also inspired Jojo Rabbit.
@@Mrchair-bk5ns Mainly his first film Boy
@@Sonnyfx second
"Who's that? Juliet?"
LMFAOOOOO SAVAGE
“aye bro ur wonna them gays eh ?” “probly” lmaoooo
This was great. Stylistically consistent, unique and intriguing. Felt like a little world in a snow globe, very self contained.
Its set in a pub carpark
I honestly think some of the best films work like this.
Much like nz itself
This kids are such naturals at acting, the main boy looks a lot like a little Taika.
I disgaree casting must go through thousands of kids to find a half decent actor...remember we are seeing the cream of the crop...ooops slightly misread your post as kids in general being naturals
i thought that too!! "That had to basically BE Taika at 9."
*Video starts car is in parking lot*
Me: "Well that's one car."
*Second car pulls up*
Me: "It's all coming together."
I've come here to support your cause.
*Third car drives past*
Me: "Woah woah woah, this was unexpected"
*Sky is dark*
Hmm… unless it’s a solar eclipse we got night. Instantly hooked, Watiti is a true master of film.
I really felt like a kid waiting for his parents to come back in from the store while watching this short. Truly exceptional.
they are waiting for the parents who are in the pub drinking and singing fairly common in nz in the 60s and 70s - kids werent allowed in pubs so they waited outside for the parents usually for a few hours - no iphones back then had to make your own amusement while waiting for hours
I was thinking the same 😊
what is a "marri" and your parents need to be checked by child services it would seem
This was a sad thing with us.Waiting for the old man while he got on the piss.
But that maori patois is spot on and where Korg started out..
i am waiting for my parents to get back from the store well watching this haha!
Here's a challenge for Taika Waititi. Make another short film, with the same actors, meeting 10 or 15 years later as young adults.
they werent even actors they were kids from his hometown he picked them from the local school they had never acted before and he asked them if they wanted to be in a film
@@bodybalanceU2 well they are acting in this, so they're considered the actors
The lead boy has apparently had trouble with addiction and even spent time behind bars, so tragic
@Varmando Varuso Before Sunset was awesome!
YES!
This is the most "New Zealand" thing I've ever watched.
"i'll probably see you later."
"yeah probably."
this end dialogue here captures the beauty of fast friendships. the kind of friendship that you might get from playing at the park on a random day or sitting idle in public waiting for your parents. the feeling of wanting to see them again or play with them again, but you both know that you probably won't see each other ever. it's the unexpected type of friendship that makes it so much special.
saying "see you later" because you loved their company and something in your child heart knows that the both of you clicked together even without comprehending that in your young brain.
i love this short film
u explained this so well
Now that Taika Waititi has done many big budget productions, it would be amazing to see him write and direct an independent film (or series) in New Zealand again!
He was nominated for an Oscar with this, I cried when he finally won 16 years later
How simple a story, yet so beautiful can be. Taika Waititi is one of few who does unique and awesome movies. My favourite director.
Taika Waititi is a master at crafting kids, in his film Boy, he crafted a wonderful story around the young ones in a truly unique New Zealand way. I loved this film, hats off Mr Waititi.....
Thank you Fox Searchlight for uploading this. I'm really glad I finally got an opportunity to watch it.
Taika and team do it again!
Loved how the dialogue developed, and, even as a Scotsman, I absolutely adore the Maori tone of conversing, and it really takes me back to NZ any time I hear this sort of dialogue. Especially the working class Maori kids patter and expression.
Also it rings a bell within me due to being, in the 1970's, one of those kids left to wait outside pubs and ex-servicemen's clubs as my dad ignored his dad-duties and hit the pub.
Yeh, it's a form of child abuse leaving the kids out like that. But, like Taika's youth, that's just how it was for a section of us poor kids in the 70's and that truth needs represented.
Well done Taika
Taika's first film & it was nominated for an Oscar for "Best
Short Film" wow! Even the Oscar's recognized How Talented Taika was from the beginning. #MyfaveDirector #FaveWriter 🎬🙌🤙
This isnt Twitter we don't use hashtags here.
It wasn't his first film... that was John & Pogo...
Mcdonagh won
First time in my life English sounded like french to me
That's how they speak in New Zealand I guess
Puneeth yeah it’s just slang how we speak
@@ruthlahari1181 but why? Like how did americans start speaking differently when they were just brits who escaped from europe?
Orangeflava because accents change every time but also not everyone speaks the same and has the same accent
@@ruthlahari1181 but why do they change?
Wow, came here from Taika Waititi's wikipedia page after learning that this short film earned him an Academy Award Nomination. Awesome.
Same here!!
Taika's involvement in the Star Wars franchise was foretold by his lighting assistant, Obi Kenobi.
Man this is real life on the east coast of the North Island. We waited in the car while the olds got trollied at the local DB tavern. Good times
at one time in nz this was happening in loads of pubs around the country - it was common to see kids waiting in cars in pub carparks waiting for their parents usually coming out fairly drunk and driving home - what a different world that was
@@bodybalanceU2 I have a friend who told me tales of family road trips through Las Vegas & being left the family car in the afternoon while her parents went inside the casinos to gamble. This was back in the late 60's when it was adults only. It seems crazy to us now.
What about the GMC????
Exactly, It feels kinda nostalgic watching this too, I grew up on the east coast in a place called Waikura Valley near te araroa where boy was filmed
It's so interesting to see what lead to Boy and later lead to Wilderpeople. Taika's progress is inspiring!
first watched boy last month and now ive watched it at least 5 times. I can't get enough of it, its a beautiful film. Now finding this has brightened my day. I'm so glad Taika related Boy to this short film.
Beautifully made short film. The portraits of the kids are wonderful and the lighting is just beautiful. I can see why this man became a first class filmmaker.
Gorgeous and sad at the same time. I had so many friends growing up that had to endure nights like this on school days. Amazing work Taika. Chur neat alright.
This is so relatable to how i was when I was a kid tbh I find so much comfort in Taika's work
That was really impressive and so cute. The acting was marvelous. I mean I’m not sure how old they actually were when making that video but it’s so cool how they stayed in character and was able to play the role that they did.
I'm not sure but as a Māori myself, I'm pretty sure that the actors stayed in character cause that's how they were in real life hha.
Not only was it a funny (and sweet) short film... but that music at the end is BEAUTIFUL 10:03.
@Caroline Khoury Films found the song?
Midnight lasers
craig sengelow - two cars one night music
The seemingly eternal waiting time as kids. As for me, I experienced this while my mom was at the union or at her second job as a private physician. There were not enough recipes to stamp nor files to help sort. The hours would go really slow and there was seldom a chance to play with other kids while being there. Thankfully, reading and drawing really helped.
My father would leave me and my Brother in the car when he went inside of a bar. HOURS. He would check a couple of times and bring out bar burgers (Larry Burgers the best, no Ketchup..Cheese and Mustard on a flattop with mad seasoning) and cokes. In one of the worst part of town. Everyone knew my Dad, but no one ever called the cops...guess they liked him. This brought back mad memories. Coloring books, Comics, cards, pajamas and blankets when it was cold out...Damn.
A Director ahead of his time & this is all before digital too...Simple & such effective storytelling.
Thank you, Taika for reminding me of a long forgotten time in my life. Money was always tight and my Grandfather (Dad's Dad) would prowl the dump for reusable or repairable items or parts for other things. Most of my bikes growing up were built from parts. ANYWAY, on the way back from the dump, Grandpa would stop at Rockers Bar. Scrap picking was thirsty work. He would sit in the bar, while I sat in his 1968 Chevy Suburban (before they were cool); sometimes for hours. I would whistle, pretend to drive, watch the clouds go by, sleep... I should have read; that's a good idea. After Grandpa had his fill, he would bring me a bag of Planter's Peanuts and tell me not to say anything to Grandma.
One time, Grandpa was so thirsty, he started the truck at the dump and started out before I was in the truck. I was hanging on to the inside door handle, while he drugged me along the ground. It was only about 10 feet, but it felt like forever. Ahhhhh, what memories.
LOL IMAGINE BEING SO COOL
Now I see where Korg gets the accent and dialogues from! Taika Watiti had his unique way of portraying humour through conversation.
Just as Wes Anderson has his own!
Korg is actually voiced by taika himself!
thats right you have discovered the Maori accent and dialogue - typical nz talk no trying there simple for taika to recreate
Holy Christ. I had this night many times, left in a car outside a bar whilst my stepdad drank inside a bar. Never had the opportunity to meet a friend like this, but I fantasized about it often.
I’m definitely “Ed.” But wow. Brilliant!
So you're saying you're a gay? 🤣
@@xavibradley5878 what an irrelevant comment.
@@stormyjlb uhm....sure....besides the fact that that's what Ed's brother called him IN THE FILM I was just tryna be cheeky take it as seriously as you want I guess....
@@xavibradley5878 wtf is your deal?
@@xavibradley5878 oh, sorry! I completely missed the reference! 🤣
I don’t know why this just came up in my feed two years later, but I am becoming a fan of TW for the Art of Unique. This short little film capulates every pre-teen romance...starting on an evening of chance, and end on a dime *sigh*
I love this short . The Kids in the car , trying to act older than they are . Make fun of each other and are suddenly in the same car , sharing innocent love . The adults in the video are invisible . Sweet start Taika
Twelve? Chur too much girl, too much 😂😂😂
These little shits were so strangely charming. It felt like something out of South Park (and yes, that's a compliment). I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. Nice.
yeah the characters are basically fantasy bullshitters tbh - then again MOST people are fantasy bullshitters so they can relate
Thats pretty much any kiwi kid .
Well maori boys anyway.
Because they act like real kids, so it’s cathartic because in the states kids aren’t even allowed to be kids as it’ll inconvenience jaded adults?
4:43 has a similar long exposure effect as the sparklers from Boy (2010)
Yeah😄
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. The speed-up adults, the dialogue, the theme… This is that art is.
He even included diversity here, what a fucking chad.
I remember watching this for English class at high school. From a little known nz director.
Lol.
Reminds me of growing up in marryvale in Tauranga.
Oiiiiiiii same g 🤣, I just watched this at Rutherford college last week bro 😂
"Johnny Depp's a gay too." LMAO
"Nah, that's my brother, Eddy boy, he's a gay."
"What?"
"Ey bro, you're one of them gays, aye?"
"Probably."
iconic
This film feels fantastic.
you feel fantastic
I can't think of a better short film.
brilliant. this director is going places
I remember going to the 05 Sundance Film Festival helping out my photog friend. And getting a copy of this film. Brings back alot of memories. Beautiful piece of cinema! Great kiddo actors.
10:07 that look was so much better than most of the actors
The entire class on the school bus while seeing another school during a trip: 2:58
"Aye bro, aye!"
yeah...naah
Imagine them having a cameo in Taika's next film. It'd be like a reunion.
if you haven't seen the movie boy go have a watch its similar. directed by waitit
i have been outside that exact pub waiting for my grandfather to finish having a beer and gambling. too real
6:57 Perfect example of the famed 'East Coast Wave.'
10:45 I DIDNT KNOW OBI WAN KENOBI WAS A LIGHTING ASSISTANT
I really don't want this to have subtitles, it's perfect as is. Always watched flight of the Concords and what we see the shadows is my dad's family favorite. In all his characters he works with, he just encourages them to have the conversations I always imagined they have. Behind every extrordinary character, like even vampires must get sick of there housemates and they live for eternity.
Anyone who likes this but hasn't seen Boy, ....watch it............it's amazing!!!!
YOUR AMAZING
Just seen it - I would rate it as good but not great. I think foreign films (non American basically) get automotaically rated higher simply for being "exotic". The characters are kind of annoying trailer trash/chav like and and full of bs...I suppose that IS part of the story that if you are raised in crap conditions and have a bs/fantasist father youre going to grow up a bs fantasist yourself. However it does have high nostalgia points, nice kind of slice of life type of pic, quirky and some great dialogue
TAIKA WATITI SHORT FILM SIMPLE AND SWEET. GREAT! GREETINGS FROM INDONESIA.
Feels like a dry run for Boy. Great stuff!
Yes! I think that boy is an extension of this short film.
love "boy" one of my fave films.
Yeah there is a scene in boy that almost parallels this but the kids are not strangers
I need a Taika Waititi romcom now!
Eagle vs Shark was his take on that genre.
I'm a simple person. I see Taika Waititi, I click.
10:00 - 10:25 is just magic...
Great short. Wish there were subtitles.
I felt this short film leaked into the movie boy when his dad goes to the pub and leaves them in the car. He also sees his friend in her car like the girl in this short film. I like both variations.
Edit: I just realised that the smoking scene has some ideas used later in the movie boy when shogun shows the sparklers. Oh my god, writing this edit I just heard them mentioning crazy horses like the gang shogun is in.
From this to Thor
Or out today in a theater near you "Jojo Rabbit", also directed by Taika Waititi.
What We Do in the Shadows was before Thor. Rent it! Soooo funny
Jojo Rabbit is definitely better than Thor!
Jojo rabbit’s his best
Everyone starts somewhere, after all Spielberg started with Amblin', and Nolan started with Doodlebug. It's inspiring to see how far they've come.
I remember seeing this years ago when TH-cam videos weren't really 10 minutes long yet.
Haha I remember calling everyone "Eh" when I was 9 or 10. We were at a party and one of my mates said, "You shouldn't call girls Eh bro, not cool" and I never called anyone Eh again. :)
What do you call girls now? I generally call them a cab in the morning, it's considered good form to pay the fare.
@@EjwiiiMoviesLowvilleNY haha nice. Usually a dog whistle works if I can't remember their name
Eh Bae go on
Your mates are lame. And it’s pronounced egg.
Incredible. Captured a beautiful moment.
Omg I remember being left in the old humber80 with my cousins while the adults had a session in the owhango pub back in the early 80’s.
Everyone remembers those first looks and thoughts of love.
I kinda thought it was gonna end with an adult man waking up and picking up the ring from his nightstand.
This is a universal moment in time, captured beautifully.
It's really amazing💕😍 and basically it's an expansion of waititi's feature film boy. Lovable
Fuck! Taika how did you go from this, to bloody Thor Love and Thunder bro? WTF? This was great, and Kiwi kids in the 80's will relate and know exactly what's going on here.
If you're from NZ and you know.....you know.
I need Subtitles
10:47 Killed Darth Maul with a lightsaber AND can do lighting
So sad. Reminds me of my childhood. Dark times.
10:45 the lighting assistants name is Obi Kenobi
LOL great catch!
I'm from Australia. Taika Waititi is definitely a massive influence on my sense of humour. I have liked his quirky, offbeat charm since Hunt for the Wilder, Jojo Rabbit, and Thor Ragnorok.
I didn't realize the genius behind this till after high school
I am in love with this film...
the kids were afraid of the safest man in the whole place.
"Lighting Assistants: Obi Kenobi" XD 10:46
Loved this forever, still stands tall and fresh now.
I remember seeing this at Sundance in 04. Such a beautiful film.
Pretty accurate except, we got some chips and a raspberry lemonade while we waited.
spoiled brat
Ghost chips?
Taika
Jojo Rabbit is my favorite of his.
Congratulations on your Oscar Taika😁👍🏿
This is a beautifully shot B&W movie. It's rare to see such gorgeous B&W contrasts since movies since movies started being shot in color
Btw what's the song in the credits? It's really nice and I would love to find it
Such a beautiful little film.
Too cute. Innocent and real. #love
Exceptional short film but would love it if he would make a series of these two in different times of their lives i think that will be awesome to watch
Aaaaa i studied this in high school and I loved it I'm so glad it's here
STILL SO DAMN GOOD.
3:38 his brother is laughing in the background
Any idea on the song name? Could never find it when this video first came out. revisiting this 15yrs later....
Its very Taika Waititi .. Great
This brings back memories rolling in the Holden Kingswood, my sister and I in the back "oh no not the beershop dad" but it was worth it knowing we were getting a packet of chippes while waiting for him to finish his crate bottle. Loved the 80s
I watched Mr. Waititi in the the original " What We Do In The Shadow."(2015) I didn't know he had directed a great short film.
really really love Taika's work. could use some subtitles though -- i love the new zeland accent however i struggle to keep up.
agreed
@@linneascameraroll And you're american?
@@eirik.9384 canadian :)
@@linneascameraroll weird, I understand it quite easily, and english is my second language
I love this short film, it is very creative
Hey, do you think that the ring represents a promise that the 2 will meet in the future?
