Taika Waititi (TaikaWaititi) on playing Hitler for laughs in JojoRabbit: 'I felt weird about it'
The Pianist, the financier was experienced in making World War II-set properties . The plan was to package the project with an A-list star attached to play Hitler. "Most people really loved the script," recalls the filmmaker of the feedback he was getting from potential stars — all of whom ultimately passed. "I think it was a little difficult for people to figure out if it was a good career move, and I can fucking totally understand.
"It was our first instinct that having Taika in that role would take the audience right to the heart of the satire," said Searchlight presidents Nancy Utley and Steve Gilula in an email. "We knew he would embody the part with the nuances as he’d written them."and his 2014 vampire comedy. Even an imaginary one.
Along with being Maori, the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand, Waititi is of Russian-Jewish descent, on his mother's side. "I felt weird about it," he says of taking the role. "Even though the character in my film is not evil — he's got a 10-year-old's brain because he comes out of Jojo's head — there's elements to him that are shared with the actual guy.
So, in the summer of 2018, Waititi found himself on an impossibly quaint river in Prague, wearing a red swastika on his arm, blue contact lenses and a disturbingly trimmed mustache, screaming over the water to his crew on the opposite riverbank about how he wanted a shot to be framed. "That was a sad moment for me, yelling at the crew dressed as Adolf Hitler in public," he says with a rueful laugh.
