In his acceptance speech Waititi thanked his mother for giving him the book on which the film was based and dedicated the award to “all the indigenous kids in the world who want to do art and write and dance and who are the original storytellers.” Waititi’s Nazi-era satire Jojo Rabbit won the Oscar for best-adapted screenplay at the 2020 Academy Awards. My peers and colleagues, to be recognised by them, people who are closer to my home, is more significant.”Ī total of 178 New Zealanders were on the list, including former All Blacks captain Kieran Read, novelist Elizabeth Knox, and Māori linguist Āni Pātene Gazala Wainu. “Personally I make my stuff for New Zealanders first and foremost. Waititi told Radio New Zealand that an award from New Zealand meant more than any other, and Boy , set on the East Cape, remained the work he was most proud of. Some of his most famous work – most notably the film Boy – was based in part on his own experiences, and over decades he has shown a passion for telling the stories of Indigenous people, as well as others often overlooked by the mainstream film community. The 44-year-old Māori man who hails from the east coast of the North Island has been made an officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit. “She searches for you,” Heimdall said, ending the film on a cruel, but hopeful note.Oscar-winning director Taika Waititi has been honoured on New Zealand’s Queen’s birthday list for services to film. Resigned to the fact that he could possibly never see Jane again - the bifrost had been destroyed - Thor asked Heimdall to tell him if she was all right back on Earth. The Dark World all but ruined this arc, but the first film ended with a bittersweet moment that showcased Thor’s softer side. With Ragnarok and Infinity War fresh in our memories, we have sort of forgotten the first Thor movie, and the emotional love story between Thor and Jane Foster. While there are virtually dozens of memorable moments we could have picked from Ragnarok, easily the best solo Thor movie, this one is captures its quirky flavour better than any other moment - even his interaction with the fire demon Surtur (that son of a b**ch). It was one of only two occasions that the Russos’ played Alan Silvestri’s iconic Avengers theme in the film, and what makes it even more fist-pumpingly good is Hulk’s response: “Bwahaha, you guys are so screwed now!” The ‘get help’ scene is a masterful nugget of their relationship - the competitiveness, the brotherly love, and a reminder of simpler days.Įven the Russo brothers have said that the most indispensible scene in Avengers: Infinity War was the one in which Thor returned to Earth, flanked by Groot (or Tree!) and Rocket. And it all came to a head in Thor: Ragnarok, when the both of them accepted who they were, and who they were meant to be. Thor and Loki’s relationship is one of the series’ most resilient and complicated ones.
In it, Thor displays his arrogance, his vulnerability and his naivete - all traits that would endear audiences to him for years.
ITS MY BIRTHDAY THOR RAGNAROK MOVIE
While his introduction in the first Thor movie was quite spectacular - remember him getting a hero’s welcome in Asgard, and winking at Lady Sif? - the scene that truly captured the essence of his character was the diner scene. So on his birthday, here are his top five moments as The God of Thunder. Hemsworth is currently starring in a reboot of the Men in Black series.īut to most of us, he will always be Thor. That would make Star Trek Hemsworth’s third concurrent movie franchise (in fact, if you include Snow White and Ghostbusters, he has dabbled in five), an honour reserved only for very few stars, including Robert Downey Jr (Sherlock Holmes, Iron Man and potentially Doctor Doolittle) and Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World and Lego Movie). Such was the impact of his performance that he is said to be making a return to the franchise in the fourth film. He turned heads with a very small supporting role in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek reboot, in which he played James T Kirk’s father. The actor had humble beginnings, gaining recognition from an Australian soap opera. The Aussie actor has had a meteoric rise to the top of the Hollywood food chain, having established himself in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Thor, the God of the Thunder.
