The least war movie

A rabid Nazi, ten-year-old boy who had Hitler as his fantasy partner. A mother who fought hard in the war, a father who never showed up.

The director shows us the daily life of an ordinary German town at the end of World War II in a way that is most unlike a war movie. The bright and bright picture forms a strong contrast with the 1917 next door. Jojo is passionate, obsessed with the swastika flag, and believes that he is a noble blood of the Aryan nation. Until one afternoon, he met Elsa hiding at home, a... Jew who made the butterflies in his stomach dance. All of this seems to be inconsistent with what he has always known. These Jews don't look any different from him, they don't have strange horns, and they are even...a bit good-looking.

We saw World War II through the eyes of many Jews, and Jojo gave us another perspective. But it's not as powerless as the boy in striped pajamas. The mother played by the widow sister, her real name is cute. Prove with practical actions that "to heal the cruel world, only love and tolerance".

The various metaphors and ironies that appear in the film seem so obvious to us, but they are so convinced of their own persistence in the play. It is impossible to know whether we are also being controlled by ridiculous thoughts at the moment.

    #4th IFFAM# Opening film. Toronto is a big hit. Given that children are so cute, they can still be given four stars. The film has a strong sense of comics, and it is more in line with the psychology of fantasy-loving teenagers (in fact, this technique is also relatively common). The Nazi comedy is basically the previous routine, but the processing of the film is still very interesting (imaginary friend/superego, The head of state is unique), the jokes are really funny (also one of the few German subjects that must be shot in English, really, it’s definitely not so funny to read subtitles in German). The best part of the film is to write about the mother's love for the child and the child's attachment to the mother. The details are well hidden before, so it will be particularly touching when the traumatic moment comes. (Supported by the Czech Film Fund, the whole film was shot in the Czech Republic).

    I want to knock on Taika Waititi's brain to see if it is full of strange beans, and if the corners and corners are covered with marshmallows. (Theon of the Iron Islands is pretty handsome how to wash it, the soap is awesome

Jojo Rabbit quotes

  • Rosie: [exasperated] Where are all the goddamned knives?

  • Rosie: [Jojo has told her that he hears the ghost of his dead sister upstairs] You've lost your mind. It's sadder for me though, because I have to live with a crazy person.
