    I am so thankful that he said he was around 30 when he entered the film scene! Because I was 27 when I made my first short film and always felt like I was too old to enter this race!
    Thanks for the confidence boost and inspiration, Taika! :)

    The first Taika Waititi film I saw was "Hunt For The Wilderpeople" (2016) and it was such a quirky, energetic, yet heart-touching film. I've noticed a lot of his films since then are like that: action-based, but ultimately sweet.

      the big chest bird (also the logo of his production company) and the rings around his upper arm are two very visible ones ! The rings I was genuinely wondering about when I watched OFMD for the first time, because the snakey tattoo overlaps it quite clearly, and the blocky lines are not really in the same vibe as the rest of the tattoos on Ed's arms !
