[SPOILERS] JOJO RABBIT Cast and Crew Q&A | TIFF 2019

[@Bhanshee]

Watch Scarlett and her constant watching of Roman Griffin Davis (her son in the movie). She is smiling and joyful and protective of him like a real mother. You can really see her connection with him. It's really beautiful and heartwarming. Much respect for Scarlett.

[@Marrtyna]

So true. And i saw lately 2 movies with her: marriage stories and jojo rabbit and find myself wondering if her motherhood gave her that super deep and authentic presence? Really great performances.

[@jenniferbloomfield3656]

She was amazing in this film!

[@jrs8301]

I love their chemistry in the movie. It looks very real

[@eduardoarmenta9232]

I remember when Tom Holland said Taika is the funniest person he ever meet.... I'm glad he's getting the opportunity to make his crazy dreams come true.

[@JohnnyCatFitz]

Ok, so, this audience *just* watched the film and now gets to see and listen to the director and cast?! How forking amazing must the energy in the room have been? Wow. I saw it again yesterday when I took a somewhat reluctant friend who was completely won over and now also wants to see it again; as I did. I just wanted to share such an experience, and it was an experience, with someone I cared about. The main thing I tried to convey was that it's a story about a boy. And that was reiterated to me when my friend, who had been influenced by negative twitterverse feedback. When it was over, he said " it's a story about a boy". It's such a tremendous film.

[@PC-oi3dw]

That's the best thing about going to film festivals! I'm sure there's one in your city

[@ft.jackjimmy7282]

Scarlett's character reminded me of the dad in Life is Beautiful and I think most parents does this where they still want their kid to remain a kid in harsh time. While there are some parents that want their kid to grow up fast so they could protect themselves.

[@LeiGullyBrunette]

Love that movie!

[@mackielunkey2205]

SPOILERS Too bad she died by the Nazis, just like him.

[@aslan9334]

aaaww! I haven't watch it yet and don't know much about it - but if you compared it to Life Is Beautiful" than it is a beautiful movie!

[@KaaptnIglo]

True, they share the wish for their kids to not grow too fast. But contrary to the father in "Life is beautiful", Rosie does not try to hide the violence of the world... When they go past the executed rebels, she does not make a joke or make Jojo close his eyes (like the Father in "Life is beautiful" would have probably done). She forces him to watch. Quite a fundamental difference.

[@ethanrackliff5947]

Honestly Taika is just jack sparrow in the modern day

[@aslan9334]

🤣

[@Lenny-ue8hk]

when Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson played charades and Chris did Jack Sparrow, Tessa's first guess was Taika.

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

Stephen Merchent is so tall even when he’s in the background he’s taller than those in the foreground.

[@Subparanon]

His physicality and the way he moves reminds me so much of Tony Azito and his performance in the movie "The Pirates of Penzance" he's all elbows and knees.

he should have listened to thomasin

[@megandunklin6147]

And now this film could be an Oscar contender after winning the People's Choice Award. Way to Taika, you have brought a lot of pride to New Zealand today 👏🏻👏🏻

[@JotaDM2023]

I don't think so. Taika Waititi's "Two Cars, One Night" was nominated for "Best Live Action Short Film". Maybe, the Academy nominate him for "Best Adapted Screenplay". For me, the great candidates are: "Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood"; "The Lighthouse" ("Best Actor in a Leading Role" (Dafoe) and "Best Original Screenplay" (Robert Eggers, Max Eggers) nominations); "Joker" (especially for "Best Actor in a Leading Role", for Joaquin Phoenix); and "The Irishman". Maybe, the Oscar for Best Directing goes to Tarantino, and the Oscar for Best Picture goes to "Joker". Or the two awards go to "Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood" (among others awards). The Academy is unpredictable.

By the way, I never said that Taika did not deserve the Oscar. I said "Maybe, the Academy nominate him for Best Adapted Screenplay." And I was right. He won it for that category. So I was not wrong. Good life!

Heard of this Taika guy before. But never seen him talking. He is necessarily weird and crazy and fortunately, I like that.

[@simonling4644]

Okey

[@chardin3497]

I didn't notice any weirdness. I love his hair, though. That is some awesome hair. 😂

With his hair like that and the mustache, Taika looks an awful lot like Charlie Chaplin.

He does have the exact same hair as Chaplin

Wow - that summing up by Taika was special and so important. Can't wait to see the movie.
