Taika Waititi Talks About Directing Jojo Rabbit While In Full Hitler Costume | FULL INTERVIEW 

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

Roman is such a shy kid yet he carried an entire film that went on to be nominated for Best Picture 😂

Roman and taika are dressed the same

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="73">1:13</a> WRITER/DIRECTOR/ADOLF HITLER. You really don't see a description like that often.

Just got home from watching Jojo Rabbit. It was simultaneously hilarious and devastating. Taika, you magnificent bastard, you’ve done it again.

"Was making the film fun?" "The director was literally Hitler"

Taika and Roman s matching clothes are just adorable

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!

I love how Taika instantly tries to cover for Roman when he seems like he's uncomfortable

they literally all have different accents i just realised

People giving Roman a hard time for being awkward but come on guys he a child

calling Hitler "that idiot" is such a mood and such a Taika thing to say, I love it

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!

It's crazy that Sam Rockwell is 50 years old. He looks like he could still play 30 year old guys.

I didn’t realize Taika had such crackhead energy but this makes me love him even more 😂

"ImPrOvIsE?? In A gErMaN aCcEnT?!??"

*"Scrap that. Watch Heathers."* I see he is a man of culture.

There should a best child actor/actress category for the Oscar's.

Wow. Two things - - kudos to this interviewer for just being a straight up good interviewer. Also, I can't wait to see this movie. Great cast.

Stephen merchant with the unbreakable British humour

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 ♥

“I watched all the famous nazis...like Ralph fiennes” but seriously Fiennes was robbed of an Oscar.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="72">1:12</a> “ Taika Waititi writer/director/Adolf hitler” what a mix of titles

Roman is literally so cute and precious I wanna adopt him as my little brother.

Mad props to the interviewer, you can tell when someone is actually engaged and interested.

Glad to see IMDB are open minded about this type of film. This looks like a black comedy with a heart.

This movie was hilarious, but Roman, Thomasin and Scarlett made it soo beautiful!

- Taika take me back to.. - Oh, I'll take you all the way back baby I died

I love the joking between Taika and Stephen. "I wonder why."

I’ve seen a couple interviews with Sam Rockwell for this movie. It’s pretty adorable how often he forgets to bring the mic to his face

*_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

Stephan Merchant is so much larger than anybody else on the stage

Take the British sense of humour, add even more sarcasm and self-deprecation... New Zealand!

What a great interviewer

Funny how Taika's description mentions him as Writer, Director and then Adolf Hitler xD as if it's his profession being Hitler.

I swear Sam Rockwell always seems like he just woke in his interviews

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."

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="368">6:08</a> "use the mic tho" 😂

Roman's existential crisis, having lived through a full-color, real-life Hitler tirade, and trying to be a 21st century woke, bespoke, gentleman.

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 has got to be the surprise movie of the year. That little boy is soooo good.

The fact that everyone did so much research to approach the role, and even taika’s research for the films writing, it’s AWESOME!!

This was the kid's first movie?! Wth he was such a natural actor, and he's definitely going places

Thomasin looks like the New Zealand lovechild of Rooney Mara and Jodie Foster, and Roman is dressed like Taika's Mini-Me.

I hope this means Taika can somehow bring back Justin Hammer into the MCU... Love Sam Rockwell.

Taika will probably be wonderful in this movie. Charlie Chaplin pulled it off in The Great Dictator after all.

Ok, Taika and Roman are basically matching and it’s the cutest thing.

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 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 :)

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="493">8:13</a> Sam Rockwell starring at Taika as he is telling his story is so funny

Great interview. I love it when an interviewer speaks to all of the guests, especially this cast.

The interviewer is good. One of the best ive seen.

Taika and Roman are twinsies!! Down to their curly mop ❤️

I think it's cute how Roman's character is trying to emulate Taika's character in the movie and how they are also dressed alike in this interview.

Taika is effectively picking up where Mel Brooks left off. Well done.

Just saw this movie last night and it’s wonderful. The script, dialogue, casting, and everything is amazing. Jojo and yorki actors were standout. 💕

"I don't know why... but we had a lot of trouble getting this movie funded". Gee, I wonder why?

Roman is so adorable omg

Calling it, ten years from now Taika is gonna be known for being the Tarantino or Hitchcock of comedy movies

Fantastic cast and director! Love them all!

Tw: “I don’t know what changed” Interviewer: “maybe Thor” -True True

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 :)

Taika is one of the top 3 active directors right now. He is the best at telling serious stories in a goofy way.

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.

Roman and Taika matching in their outfits a little bit is so cute

It takes one look at his hair and you know - Taika is chaos incarnate.

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

Sam Rockwell's suit game is strong

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

I love how he had a special, insightful question for each person, what a good interviewer

Great interview, thank you!

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

This was a refreshingly great interviewer, love this cast and interview

I absolutely can't wait to see this movie

Steve Merchant is making a lot of good stuff.

my favourite bit of this movie is when he's trying to get jojo to heil him and he just gets kicked out a window

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!

*really pumped up for this*

I loved the movie so much. That ending is incredible!!

Sam Rockwell looks 20 years younger than his actual age. He also got a perfect hairline with 50?! God I love this guy.

The whole group have such a wonderful dynamic. Props to the interviewer as well

I really enjoyed this interview; I think the interviewer is really great at his job.

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.

What a great bunch of people Taika brought together for this gem of a film.

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.

All these amazing actors and actresses deserve an Oscar! They all nailed their lines! And accents! Amazing!

This is one of the most enjoyable movies I’ve ever seen.. even though it was a grim time in history the humour was amazing! I have never seen such incredible child actors!! Brilliantly produced!!

I hope to god there’s footage of Taika’s river story

Roman looking around at the set! He’s so impressed I can’t!!

Saw it last night... brilliant!

This film looks awesome! Can’t wait to see this.

Thomasin is so beautiful

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="600">10:00</a> 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 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!

Can't wait to see this. Gonna to be a good laugh!

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).

Well thomasin's going to have a big year with this, top gun and the king. All big productions

Thanks for that short sweet approach to the Jojo's crew 😊
