"I'm noticing it!" Taika Waititi on Jojo Rabbit and... Ali's T-shirt!?

  • Taika Waititi is the writer/director/actor behind such beloved films as Hunt For The Wilderpeople, What We Do In The Shadows and Thor Ragnarok. Now he's back with a new film, Jojo Rabbit, and it's pretty out there even by Taika's standards, telling as it does the story of a young boy in 1940s Germany who's been so caught up by Nazi propaganda that he's obsessed with all things Hitler. Like, seriously. This is his-imaginary-friend-is-Hitler levels. Talking here to BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra's film critic Ali Plumb about how he made the movie, Taika touches on casting, scriptwriting and how uncomfortable it is to play You Know Who. Plus... what is going on with Ali's T-shirt?
    Listen to Ali Plumb's podcast, Radio 1's Screen Time, by downloading the BBC Sounds app (www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/series/p...) or watch Movies with Ali Plumb on BBC iPlayer.

      It's interesting to me cause most of the time Taika seems like a big child (on a good way) and Ali seems to get more joy out of the people he interviews. But for some reason it's like Ali's calm insightful questions made Taika happy to show his more serious side

    Watched Jojo earlier today, and loved it. It has genuinely funny comedic elements, and some fully serious moments that are suspenseful or which touch on the horror of Nazi Germany. And Taika has delivered a film that balances on the tightrope between those elements. The acting delivered by each of the main cast is also excellent. Bravo Taika.

    To anyone who hasn't go watch Boy and you'll see where it all came from. Tika has been nailing this style for over a decade already.

    It can be hard to find interviews where Taika sticks to giving serious answers about his art without steering of the track and being silly. This was a good watch :)

    I'm always a bit disappointed, that he doesn't sound like Korg in Interviews. He's totally lovable, anyways

      That's cool, I thought the "Fu** off Hitler" will become a thing as well.
