He advises filmmakers to never “get too comfortable” as according to him, “creative inspiration comes from not sitting in seats that are too comfortable.” Taika Waititi explains how he gets inspiration from the lives of people around him, giving an example of a funeral sermon he incorporated into his movie,Hunt for the Wilderpeople.
Criticism Taika Waititi Faced for Thor: Love and Thunder
In the interview,Taika Waitititalks about failure and how art, most of the time, will be terrible. According to him, learning from failure is important as a filmmaker as the audience has all the right to judge your work and you simply cannot get away by saying they didn’t “get it.”
“90% of all movies are terrible, and if you take that ratio into account, it allows you to relax and you don’t have to worry about making something good all the time.”
His words came back to him asThor: Love and Thunderfailed to impress. The movie, no doubt, was highly anticipated, especially since Taika Waititi was returning as director. Unfortunately, it failed to live up to the high reputation of theThorseries, receiving mixed reactions from fans. While some were satisfied with the film, most fans called out Taika Waititi for making a movie that looks a little too much like a parody.
