you know it’s a Taika Waititi film when someone calls another person an egg

Hey egg, egg, this is one of those good films, eh bro.

Charming in its simplicity, and striking from a visual perspective. A great opening act for my boy Taika

even though he's only in it for a minute i think ed is the greatest character ever brought to screen

Romeo: “aye bro ur wonna them gays eh?”
Ed: “probly”

This was a funny and charming short film with a nice style.
The cast was only children and they all did a great job and along with the dialogue they felt just like real people. 
The story is simply just that some children in two separate cars are talking to each other to pass the time, while their parents are at a bar, and it was a great way to give us a look into the minds of the children. 
They have a very heavy New Zealand accent and I equally loved it and struggled to understand it. The language was just so unique and funny, which improved on the comedy but I really had to listen closely in some scenes.

new zealand is made up i swear

why is it that every single film taika waititi does feels like the warmest of  hugs????? they make me want to live with that warm hug feeling every day of my life

taika a good egg

For the first month of 2021, my girlfriend and I will be looking at filmmakers’ first projects — their first available shorts, first features, or whatever their first accessible project is. Most of the filmmakers probably made films earlier than the ones we’re watching, but the vast majority of that work a) isn’t available to the general public, and b) isn’t on Letterboxd.

First up: Taika Waititi’s Two Cars, One Night. The filmmaker’s greatest strengths are already on full display here: he elicits natural performances from child actors that are simultaneously hilarious and tinged with sadness, and punctuates their scenes with visually stunning establishing shots and B-roll sequences that evoke a strong sense of place. The result is a sweet piece set in a saddening context, which, in many ways, is a perfect encapsulation of childhood — tender little interactions that are completely oblivious to their darker surroundings.

i love one (1) man. his name is taika waititi.

Two Cars, One Night was the first short film Waititi directed. As such, there is a lot of amateurish qualities to it, it's incredibly bare bones, and somehow loses its focus even at such a short run time. However, it is endearing, well acted, has some great time lapses and long exposures to simulate lights from cigarettes, and is overall extremely worth the watch.

It is available through multiple channels on YouTube so if you are a fan of Waititi definitely watch this one.

hey ed you’re one of them gays eh?
probably 

Two Cars, One Night was included on my DVD of Boy and I'm glad I watched it. It's interesting to see how that full length movie stemmed from it. It's only 12 minutes long, but there's so much more I'd like to know as the characters just feel so real.

wait i loved this

el profe nos ha pasado el link y tenía subtítulos en turco así que he estado un rato intentando distinguir si lo que hablaban era inglés😶 y también pensaba al principio que iba a ser un corto de terror en fin vaya cuadro

This was really well done. Seeming him solo in the parking lot as her car drove away really drove home this feeling from childhood where you could meet someone and then never see them again. A pure yet fleeting feeling documented in 11min

obsessed with “egg”

This is just too cute. Why don’t all the other eggs around the world speak in a New Zealand accent?

My mind went to the McDonald’s Playground when I was a kid 🥺

this was a little bit kinda of a mixed bag but the girl was good tho.

Bruh them New Zealand accents are thicccccc... with a capital c

aye aye aye bro

😳😳 My face while discovering✨kiwi accent✨

Very much like Boy, but felt almost Lynchian with the way it was shot. Good short.
