[A+] The movie uses black humor to accuse the cruelty of war. The opening scene is very Wes Anderson's style, but black humor and fun are only appearances. This story is cruel to the core! This is a tragic story of a boy facing the world and the war. Although there is warmth, it cannot hide the sadness. The film uses rabbit imagery, contrasting the eagle, which represents Nazi power, with the rabbit, which represents weakness. Compared with the huge political system that may fall apart at any time, the rabbit represents every ordinary person who is facing the harsh reality with difficulty. This movie is actually looking at the world of eagles and rabbits from the perspective of children. Under the rule of eagles, some rabbits are domesticated and become the accomplices of eagles (Ms. Ram), while others choose to resist (Jojo's mother). Rosie) They knew what was right, they believed that the eagle would always perish, so they endured, concealed and resisted, waiting for the day when the eagle fell off the cliff. In the end, Jojo saw the truth in her contact with the cruel world. Seeing the smoke of gunpowder everywhere, his illusion was shattered. And what greets him will be a life that is cruel to the core. But even so, Jojo asked Elsa, "What is the first thing you will do after you are free?" She still answered without hesitation, "Dancing." At the end of the film, they walked to the street, Facing the sun, danced a dance.

After all "Dancing is for people who are free, it's an escape for all this."

    [Macau International Film Festival Opening] First, the audience relaxes their vigilance and laughs with witty comedy, absurd jokes, and wild fantasies, and enters the world of naive imagination of the children of the Nazi Empire. Then suddenly with a cruel twist, the little boy and the audience are brought back to the hell of blood and hatred, life and death, and tear gas is very effective. The performances of Sam Rockwell and Widow Sister are precise and precise. Coupled with the spoofed image of Hitler who played the role of the director himself and replaced the patriarchal power, these three characters and the little boy got together. There are not only the absurd blackness of "Shameless Bastard", the warmth of the family love of "A Beautiful Life", and the irony of the informer's brainwashing. Exposing, a soulful tribute to justice and anti-war. It is not a perfect masterpiece, but it is also an excellent commercial production. Four and a half stars

    Was completely impressed by Taiga Viditi. It's really a movie with laughter and tears! In the new era version of "A Beautiful Life", the truth and cruelty of war are seen in spoof comedy. And the kindness of human nature has always been there, it's the butterfly in the belly of Jojo Rabbit, fly, you are free.
