Cannot agree more. The second act of the film almost had me in tears of sadness after the tears of laughter from the first act, and then the ending when Helden by David Bowie was playing left me with tears of joy. It was a very well structured satire that embraced all of the range that satire can give.
They do it often enough that i am suspecting Roman is just too shy and Taika wears the same outfit and hairstyle as him so that he does not feel too shy
@@Barefoot_Joe so when you were a kid you got professionals who told and teached you about acting 24/7 ? most people forget that these kids aren't borned miracles - even the ugliest and most cringe voice can become like an angel if you promote it it's all about encouragement, all the actors worldwide share just one thing and that is _"pure luck"_. they got lucky they got discovered and from than on promoted and encouraged to become and get anything they wanted. of course you need to be quick-witted to stay in this business, that comes with experience...which comes with time.
I just hope Sam Rockwell will be a mainstay in Waititi's films here on in. They really work well together! Also, Rockwell is one of the most underrated actors working in Hollywood today. Absolutely love him!
@@BeyondtheLens lol. Bit of a hyperbole there, sure. But man, I'd love to see Sam Rockwell in more movies. He's great in everything he does, made the otherwise terrible Iron Man 2 watchable.
the interviewers great. he knows his stuff, he gives each actor a fair chance to talk. Some interviewers have been focusing just on taika and roman. Lots of interviews, Thomasin is especially ignored which is a bit odd. But this guy lets the actors talk and asks relevent quesitons. very impressed!
Yes, came for this comment. 1) Great deep voice. 2) Great control of the interview - not letting Taika derail things, pointing out the mic, a lot of little things that you don't even notice because you only notice when they are broken. 3) Keeps questions and answers contained. Very well done.
@Wagner wow Jesus Christ I didn't realize we still needed to have this conversation. You do realize that following the slaughter of six million Jews, twelve million people in total, and Hitler's defeat, Germany (which wasn't even his nation, mind you) was plunged into financial squalor and is still paying reparations today, right? And that German schooling today now requires teaching about the horrors of Hitler's regime and that Nazis like you who still exist today are simply subscribing to uninformed thinking and brainwashing from extreme far right sources. You need to fuckin check yourself man, being a Nazi is not it
Yeah, but no one cares in the end? That's never the point of a movie. Just like The Hunt for Red October. Sean Connery made no attempt to sound Russian, he just went full on Scottish and no one cared and it was a great Movie. For American Audiences at least, we would rather hear inaccurate accents than have to "Have" to read subtitles. The emotions of acting and the message can be delivered far better in someone's native language, regardless of the accent.
@@rostigerrolf4490 that was the joke, that's what most of the English speaking world often think of a German accent. Its obviously not trying to be accurate
@@rostigerrolf4490 There is no really strong German accent when we speak English. We learn English in our schools since first grade. Most of us learned to speak accent free. A lot people I know (including me) have problems with "thr"-words. Like I can't say "Game of Thrones" properly.
I think they considered it at one point but didn’t want them to feel the extreme public loss and turn it into a massive competition, I do agree though so many talented kids out there that should be rewarded
@@Vendor.V I think it also might have something to do with the further encouragement of child actors which in turn more parents shift interests into exploiting their children rather than nurture them creatively ? Im really high right now tho so it's like a stream of consciousness..
Mmmm. La vita e bella kinda tried to do the same. The father jokes with the child during their stay at the concentration camp and mantains that optimism until the last moment. And it had a heartwarming ending. I hope Jojo follows the same path.
@@zoonigga93 Where is the political satire in that? Or even the examination of history from a child's perspective? OH! Sorry. I just got it. You weren't being sincere. You were making a false equivalence between a sociopolitically-driven war between multiple nations and two planes running into a building in New York. Got it. It's called "perspective". Look into it.
I agree. Tommy Lee Jones was great in the fugitive but he basically played his haggard old self. Fiennes on the other hand embodied the cruelty of those concentration camps and played a truly unique and horrifying monster.
The beauty of this film is the children. Showing that in the midst of fascism and intolerance their young honest hearts can see the truth. Comedy is important to combat fear, and fear is the only real control they have over us. Once you remove that fear you can fight anything ♥
And with a few exceptions, we usually don't see what the war must have been like for children. I can't imagine the terror of the camps or being dragged out of your home, your own room! along with your parents to small children. Horrible.
Yeah, I saw it in the theater twice (a 1st for me), DVR'd it at home, I've watched it about 15 times, and my FAVE parts are the scenes with just Jojo & Elsa. One of the top half dozen films I've seen in 50+ yrs, definitely my favorite. It puts you thru every emotion.
I think this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. You have to be a freaking master to make a comedy about Hitler and the Second World War in which there are a lot of deaths and in which they do not shy away from what actually happened.
*_The man who played Korg is now Hitler, and now they guy who played Hitler who played Korg played IG-11_* Edit: oh mein gott Wheatley from portal is a Nazi too amazing
EllaChina if you made this comment before the movie came out that really spooky. I watched it last week at the movies here in New Zealand and your comment is 2 moths old.
In another interview, they say that they even exaggerated it by having Stephen stand on something to make him taller in that shot where he's looking down at him in profile. Doesn't seem like it was necessary.
Hearing their real accents amazes me, because they had solid German/Austrian accents in the film, especially Scarlett Johannson, Thomasin McKenzie, and Stephen Merchant. Like, all of them could pull off and did pull off believable German/Austrian accents in the film to the point that I thought "man, at least one of them has to have spent a good deal of time in Germany or Austria, because having been in Germany for a bit myself, Germans speaking English totally sound like that."
This is such a brilliant film. It has this perfect balance between taking the piss out of the Nazis and showing the plights and struggles of the Jewish people and the resistance living in the Germany. I think humour is one of the most under valued tools in fighting evil. I think it's so important that we take tragic events and treat them carefully and respectfully for the sake of the people who suffered. But it seems to me that all these tyrannical leaders love being feared and seen as powerful. There should be more media content that humiliates and makes a laughing stock of evil ideology and the people who believe it. We should be laughing at things like nazis, the cruel leaders of the British empire, people involved in the slave trade, white supremacists, all of the racist and fascist, power hungry and cruel leaders and perpetrators of our past and present. To me, the ability to laugh at people who believe irrational and terrible things whilst also being respectful and compassionate to this they hurt is such a powerful teaching tool and one taika waititi has managed to execute so incredibly in this film.
This interviewer was amazing! Inclusive questions, asking questions that isn’t a repeat of what all the other interviews ask. Having fun with them. I just love that he got them all involved. Well done :)
This movie was phenomenal. To be able to make a movie about this time period and not make it a totally serious and dark film was crazy. It’s so good, sad, terrifying and happy. This movie really plays on all of your emotions.
Can we just have Thomasin read an entire book? Her voice is amazing. Also love Taika's hair. It's saying his hair is constantly being blown to one side.
this film just took top prize at TIFF. this means it's a major oscar contender now. Taika is probably a lock for direcdtor nom, adapted screenplay looks good too, nomination for the kid as well
Each of these actors shine brilliantly in their respective roles in the movie. Taika has made an excellent film. Loved watching this movie, can't stop thinking about it.
Imagine your first ever movie when your that young n Hitler is your imaginary friend n Scarlett Johansson is playing your mother... idk that sounds too daunting to me... I probably either would've choked or taken about a full week or two to actually get used to everything n actually very going... or was he so young he didn't really know what was what n just went on business as usual minus the scale of it all bc I'm sure that's what frightened him at first
I LOVE Taika Waititi's sense of humor, the sweet boy who starrred in the movie, LOL at Merchant's and Rockwell's comments, etc. Great interview---thanks!
This is an awesome movie and great interview. I was really astonished to see roman doing so great in the movie as well as Thomasin. These two have done a great team work and made the movie really awesome. Thank you all :)
7:00 True story: I'm watching this AMAZING film (floored throughout - one of my favorite films of all time now) and I truly didn't know who the director was (and had never heard of him before) and when this amazing actor comes on the screen playing Hitler (the way he is played in this film) I genuinely actually said to myself "my God, to thread the needle and… I don't know how much casting they had to do - must've been worldwide - to find exactly the right person to play Hitler exactly this way - absolutely brilliant casting!"… Then after the film and practically in tears when I discovered that the director who created this amazing film also played Adolf Hitler IN this very film! Absolutely astounding!!!
I'm showing this movie to my high school students right now and we are laughing and crying together.... wonderful and impactful end to our school year. I love how they understand how amazing this film is.
I feel that young people should be exposed to these kinds of truths' as it teaches appreciation and builds awareness and dispenses with any illusion of false entitlement. There are many other movies out there that showcase that freedom is indeed not free. A must watch for your next class, Band of Brothers, Schindler's List.
I just bought Jojo Rabbit. So incredibly brilliant. Thank you. During these ugly maga trump times, I needed this. I finished Hunting for the Wilderpeople before finding lots of interviews that introduced Jojo Rabbit. This is a magnificent day watching two masterpieces. You are so appreciated Taika Waititi🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I felt so sad when Jojo were asking Elsa about what their people are like, how Elsa would first talk about her thoughts but then Jojo doesnt believe her. It happened to me so many times when I was trying to answer questions from people who asked me about my country, and I would say it but they just believe in the stereotypes and prejudice... and then it just gets worst from there. But imagine how lost and confused Jojo must be, in between two groups of people from the opposite sides, two different stories. Laughed so hard in the beginning and cried so hard at the end, can't believe some of the things in the movie are still being experienced by people right now around the world. Hope things gets better and love love love love the movie!
I've only seen trailers obviously, but if I had to guess who Taika modelled his Hitler voice on, it was probably Viago Von Dorna Schmarten Scheden Heimburg (né von Blitzenberg).
10:00 love that little body language que to move the conversation on, smooth tactics by the sctors to move on, the little leg jig, the cough and arm movement, its great
am i the only one absolutely shocked this was roman's first ever professional acting job? he's seriously so talented i never would've guessed that
I'm shocked too. Also Hooky?
Guess my name yesss you stan jojo rabbit and hooky? now thats good taste right there 😌
I see you guys are man of culture as well
Pretty sure he got it because of his father
Wow, hooky and Jojo rabbit. Culture at it’s peak
Just got home from watching Jojo Rabbit. It was simultaneously hilarious and devastating. Taika, you magnificent bastard, you’ve done it again.
Same, I experienced the full range of emotions: happiness, sadness, fear, relief. Just brilliant!
Same! One minute I was laughing and then I was crying my eyes out.
Sameeeee 😭😭😭😭😭💗💖💗💗💖💖💗💗💖💗

Roman and taika are dressed the same
Lol that’s adorable.
Taika is his father
Taika is imaginary
With the same haircut! He looks like Taika's baby boy. :)
And have same hairstyle, which makes Roman like an adult and Taika like a child. Brilliant!

Cause nobody wants Nazi movies to succeed and I'm okay with that
The worst part about Ralph Fiennes character: Amon Goth. Was that he was even worse in real life. They actually had to tone him down for the movie.

Imagine your first ever movie when your that young n Hitler is your imaginary friend n Scarlett Johansson is playing your mother... idk that sounds too daunting to me... I probably either would've choked or taken about a full week or two to actually get used to everything n actually very going... or was he so young he didn't really know what was what n just went on business as usual minus the scale of it all bc I'm sure that's what frightened him at first
I absolutely can't wait to see this movie
I LOVE Taika Waititi's sense of humor, the sweet boy who starrred in the movie, LOL at Merchant's and Rockwell's comments, etc. Great interview---thanks!
Sam Rockwell looks 20 years younger than his actual age. He also got a perfect hairline with 50?! God I love this guy.
Roman and Taika matching in their outfits a little bit is so cute
Steve Merchant is making a lot of good stuff.
This is an awesome movie and great interview. I was really astonished to see roman doing so great in the movie as well as Thomasin. These two have done a great team work and made the movie really awesome. Thank you all :)
7:00 True story: I'm watching this AMAZING film (floored throughout - one of my favorite films of all time now) and I truly didn't know who the director was (and had never heard of him before) and when this amazing actor comes on the screen playing Hitler (the way he is played in this film) I genuinely actually said to myself "my God, to thread the needle and… I don't know how much casting they had to do - must've been worldwide - to find exactly the right person to play Hitler exactly this way - absolutely brilliant casting!"… Then after the film and practically in tears when I discovered that the director who created this amazing film also played Adolf Hitler IN this very film! Absolutely astounding!!!
Sam Rockwell's suit game is strong
Saw the movie a few days ago! Definitely one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time!
Stephen is a fooking giant
I know, it’s like he’s sitting two metres closer than everybody else on stage.
Faultty no, he is just really tall
Lanky co-writer.
It's a normal height in the Netherlands !
Martijn Vv ehm no but ok
I loved the movie so much. That ending is incredible!!
Best ending ever. I felt happy yet the tears were rolling down. Beautiful.
I love how he had a special, insightful question for each person, what a good interviewer
I'm showing this movie to my high school students right now and we are laughing and crying together.... wonderful and impactful end to our school year. I love how they understand how amazing this film is.
I feel that young people should be exposed to these kinds of truths' as it teaches appreciation and builds awareness and dispenses with any illusion of false entitlement.
There are many other movies out there that showcase that freedom is indeed not free. A must watch for your next class,
Band of Brothers, Schindler's List.
I really enjoyed this interview; I think the interviewer is really great at his job.
I didn't realise it was Sam as the German officer, great job. Stephen is a great comedy actor. Just watching him on extras, hilarious.
I just bought Jojo Rabbit. So incredibly brilliant. Thank you. During these ugly maga trump times, I needed this. I finished Hunting for the Wilderpeople before finding lots of interviews that introduced Jojo Rabbit. This is a magnificent day watching two masterpieces. You are so appreciated Taika Waititi🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
What a great bunch of people Taika brought together for this gem of a film.
I felt so sad when Jojo were asking Elsa about what their people are like, how Elsa would first talk about her thoughts but then Jojo doesnt believe her. It happened to me so many times when I was trying to answer questions from people who asked me about my country, and I would say it but they just believe in the stereotypes and prejudice... and then it just gets worst from there. But imagine how lost and confused Jojo must be, in between two groups of people from the opposite sides, two different stories. Laughed so hard in the beginning and cried so hard at the end, can't believe some of the things in the movie are still being experienced by people right now around the world. Hope things gets better and love love love love the movie!
“How are people blind? Just see!”
-taika basically ahahahaha
I imagine the guys that give this man millions to make a movie sweating bullets but in the end always work out.
This film looks awesome! Can’t wait to see this.
The whole group have such a wonderful dynamic. Props to the interviewer as well
Thomasin is so beautiful
Roman is cute :) He's going to go far. Very talented
All these amazing actors and actresses deserve an Oscar! They all nailed their lines! And accents! Amazing!
Roman looking around at the set! He’s so impressed I can’t!!
I've only seen trailers obviously, but if I had to guess who Taika modelled his Hitler voice on, it was probably Viago Von Dorna Schmarten Scheden Heimburg (né von Blitzenberg).
This was a refreshingly great interviewer, love this cast and interview
I hope to god there’s footage of Taika’s river story
10:00 love that little body language que to move the conversation on, smooth tactics by the sctors to move on, the little leg jig, the cough and arm movement, its great
I considered watching this because of Taika, but then I saw Stephen Merchant in the thumbnail, and I was like, “Yes!”
Imagine Roman getting real advices from Taika in Adolf costume on set. 😂
