“I scoured the Earth for the perfect actor and sometimes your search for the right person is staring at you right in the mirror” quipped Waititi.follows a young boy, Jojo who is impassioned, yet brainwashed, over his membership in the Hilter youth. His mother is a rebel and hiding a Jewish girl in the attic. Should he snitch? The voice in his head, Hitler, his imaginary friend, pulls and prods on the boy’s conscience.
“It’s a 10-year old boy’s manifestation of Hitler, the little devil that sits on your shoulder; a version of Jojo giving him terrible advice while he’s being lured by a Jewish girl,” said Waititi.Talking about his style, Waititi acknowledged the loss of innocence in his films such as “We don’t look very sane to children,” said Waititi about his motiffs, “children are smarter in the sense and they have a view of the world that’s a lot clearer.
Waititi also uses a lot of improv on the set, but not strictly for improv sake. And his producer Carthew Neal always aims to allow enough flexibility in production for the schedule to change on a last minute’s notice.
