    The "loser" technique is quite a New Zealand humour plot and comedic tactic.

      It's a very British trope as well, it's one of the key differences that separate the two kinds of humour

      British and NZ humour r nothing alike, though. NZ humour is like the “nice-guy” humour. It’s very childish and playful, and not insulting. British is the opposite of all those things. Also, NZ humour lacks a large sense of wit compared to British. US find it appealing coz it’s more in line with their humour overall, only difference being the whole loser thing

      @@shotbro4998 I can't speak for NZ, but I find Taika very reflective of the humour I'm used to in Britain, sarcastic, witty, loserish, I don't think it's much different at all, but then it's only Taika and Rose matafeo that I know of NZ humour

      Interesting. I live in NZ and was born in Serbia, and Serbian humour is much much more British than NZ humour, so I personally feel like my perspective on the matter is well rounded. Then again, reflecting on it, there r two types of British humour and that might be where the clash is. When I think of British humour, the first thing I ever think of is Only Fools And Horses which I think is the greatest tv show of all time. Someone else (maybe u?) might think of The Office UK which is more of a parody, in a sense and closer to the whole NZ style of comedy. Funny thing about The Office for me vs Only Fools And Horses is that despite being like a documentary, The Office feels much less real than Only Fools And Horses. But yea, I guess if this is your line of thinking and linking, I think I can c where u r coming from. Correct me if I said something wrong

    Chmura odpowiedzi:
    Taika Waititi: Is an indie darling
    Waititi's heroes are: Losers
    Taika's short nominated for an Oscar was: Two cars one night (w zadaniu jest błąd i jest napisane 'nights')
    If you have a good concept...: Just do it
    In "What we do in the shadows" he finds: a cruel comedy of never growing up (to też jest błąd ze strony chmury, powinno być: In "eagle vs shark"...)

      kaithiravan ganesh: Hire tv directors(used to working with smaller budget, used to working fast and tight, often used to managing ensembles which gives even star vehicles character depth. Hire Indie directors(willing to think outside the box, bring modern, diverse and often cutting-edge sensibilities to the game, also used to working with a small budget). Hire c list actors(cheap, usually have a long list of credits since they have to work more to eat, smaller egos and fewer if any demands, frequently as or more talented than A list actors)

    At 2:03... "The hardest and necessary action for a filmmaker is to continually challenge himself..." Wish Fandor didn't put out content that only uses male pronouns when speaking about filmmakers.

    • @TheAtoZReviewBlog
      @TheAtoZReviewBlog 6 років тому +29

      You're right (maker of the video here). This is the second time someone commented on one of my videos for Fandor. What phrasing would you suggest? "Challenge oneself"?
      I do try to make an effort to use inclusive language, but as you might have noticed by the Tommy Wiseauesque voice (the internet made me aware of this, unfortunately), I'm hardly an all-American guy. I'm fighting about 30 years of using male Portuguese pronouns to categorize non-gendered substantives. I will make a note to correct this in my work and, if they haven't seen it yet, point it out to editorial team so they keep an eye out for the way we frame filmmakers.
