Taika Waititi
4 episodes touching this theme- Strongly exploredThor – Put a Korg in it
Feb 2021 · raised by Smoke and Mirrors
"Oti calls Thor finding his place, Asgard being its people and him not being the god of hammers, the film's through line; KT felt no emotional attachment but says the theme gets all the ticks."
- Strongly exploredBoy – Regionally flavoured Chuppa tea
Feb 2021 · raised by Smoke and Mirrors
"Oti calls belonging the film's most important message, Boy needing to know his father loves him and that he has potential; KT says the theme was hit on the head."
Cross-refE.T. the Extra-Terrestrial - Strongly exploredJojo Rabbit – If all Elsa fails
Feb 2021 · raised by Smoke and Mirrors
"Oti sees it lightly, in Jojo finding home in a new Germany once he learns he was fed lies; KT calls it a full tick and later ties Elsa's 'wants to be part of a club' line back to it."
- Strongly exploredHunt for the Wilderpeople – Ricky wicket
Feb 2021 · raised by Smoke and Mirrors
"Oti calls it definitely met: Ricky finally finds a home with Bella, loses her and runs rather than go back into care. KT adds that Hec is working through his own stuff, and everyone but Paula is finding their place."
