Synopsis: Ten-year-old JoJo was brainwashed by the culture at the time, and wanted to be a Nazi, but couldn't bear to kill rabbits, and was laughed at by everyone. JoJo injured himself when he lost a grenade to testify, and quit the training camp to recover at home, but discovered his mother's secret - a Jewish girl was hidden in the attic. At first he wanted to report, but he had to get along with the girl for the safety of his mother and himself, and in the process he fell in love with the girl. The house was suddenly searched. The girl pretended to be JoJo's dead sister, and successfully concealed herself with the help of the training camp officer. However, JoJo found that her mother had been hanged on the street because she had helped Nazi. JoJo carried the house, and soon the Germans were defeated, the officers protected him, but he was shot dead. When JoJo returned home, he wanted to hide it from the girl at first, so that the girl could stay with him, but in the end, the "rabbit in the cage" in the picture book made him sober, and the two walked out of the house and danced freely on the street. .
The scene of JoJo crying while hugging her mother's legs broke my heart. Laces aren't about trying to make you look decent, it's about stopping you and enjoying the chance to spend a few more seconds with you before you head off into that terribly dangerous world.
Some thoughts:
Love is very out of place. It is enough for JoJo to treat the girl as her sister. If it is to emphasize that he realizes that Jews are also ordinary people, it is enough to focus on the pen and ink to describe their tentative relationship with each other. Love does not prove anything, but leads to a new clue with no beginning and no end. Remain. I guess the setting of love is because the original book wrote about the follow-up of JoJo's life, but this part is too abrupt in the movie.
(About the love paragraph: my friend in the comment area woke me up, which is an irony. But although I agree with this interpretation, I still feel that this subtle meaning is not rendered in the movie. Maybe I think the overall tone is more comedic?)
Complicated officer. He has gone through war, been a qualified Nazi, still romantic, childlike and creative, and he has also sacrificed his life to protect the enemies of Nazis and the children of women he thinks are good people. Wonder if his lover is still alive?
Doting mother. I am very reluctant to look at JoJo's mother, this wonderful person, with critical eyes, but JoJo's temperament makes me have to blame her to a certain extent. She is doting on JoJo from many episodes, but the most important thing is that she never tries to teach JoJo to see the world properly. She said that once the incident happened, she would choose the latter between what she pursues and what she loves; according to the movie's suggestion, both her husband and sister died because of the same struggle for freedom and equality, and her sister was no more than her current counterpart. JoJo is 4 years older, why does her mother think that JoJo is a deep-rooted Nazi and cannot be changed? It may be said that she was afraid that JoJo would become another family member whose life was taken, but her actions also caused JoJo to harm others - harm to Jewish girls.
Let's talk about JoJo in this paragraph. Like most children, this is a naive boy who trusts his education wholeheartedly, and wants to grow up to be a patriot, but his ten-year-old mind is not enough to understand this. So he had to pay the price, lost his healthy body, and always thought he was ugly in his heart. But someone else paid the price for him—the Jewish girl. Ever since JoJo first came into contact with her, I've always wondered how painful she must be: facing an incommunicable boy who regards himself as an alien, repeatedly explaining his ordinaryness, and finally making him change a little bit, he still feels helpless in the end "You Jews like ugly things"; he doesn't understand things, so he doesn't understand the consequences and hurts, and he will use the real feelings she revealed to him to fabricate stories that make him feel conquered, which will be written on paper Killing her love and her clan over and over again, leaving her in the dark cage of the past in order to satisfy his attachment. Even if he regrets it later, and works hard to write a lot of beautiful and moving poems, puts the key into the lock, and holds the rabbit to dance in the sun, I am also terrified that he has such an absolute power over life and death; if this story is Really, I think this stubborn girl will just be uncomfortable with the experience, maybe she will raise JoJo out of gratitude for her mother, and then leave and go to Paris to find her less varied and unique way of dying. The shadow of her fiancé; the only thing she wouldn't do, maybe say that smiling "thank you" in the movie.
So I think this movie is far from perfect, it builds the main character very well, it focuses on laughs and dramatic twists, but it misses the elaboration of the other characters. But all in all, it's a successful anti-war film with laughter and tears that breaks my heart and makes me move and think.
