I always choose to watch a movie from the poster/still photo, followed by the subject matter. The understanding of Jojo Rabbit comes from the YouTube predicting the Oscars video. It seems that all film critics mentioned this work, and coincidentally, listed it on the additional list - I don’t think there is a high probability that it will be favored by Oscars, but I think it is a work worth seeing. Especially when I saw the polarizing reviews on rotten tomatoes, I became interested in this one and started to read stills and synopsis. The funny image of Hitler and the little boy with innocent faces in Nazi costumes made me want to watch this movie.
The historical background + funny elements are very attractive to me. Everyone knows this period of history and knows its cruelty, but the director Waititi is very clever in shaping various "contradictory" roles, using comedy elements to contrast the tragedy, and narrating this history in a unique way. The young Nazi boy who is not deeply involved in the world but has high morale and worships killing, is limited by the clumsy and manic vision of the 10-year-old boy. Character), even captain k, although as arrogant as other Nazis, showed a simple and ignorant side when Jojo described Jews. These contrasts have appeared many times in the movie, with both comedy and tragedy elements, which brought a lot of laughter to the audience, but also made people sigh and tear.
There are many cheerful and bright scenes in the movie, such as sunny meadows, the scene of Jojo and his mother in the car on the road, the fantasy moment when Hitler and Jojo are running in stride (this still really aroused me greatly. Curiosity...) and of course there are dancing scenes. There must be a cruel reason for such a setting compared to war, but on the other hand, I think it is another way of life to describe people in adversity, or a desire for freedom, peace, and tranquility, just like Jojo’s mother said. He said that he should run and jump at this age. The war has changed the way children should be. This reminds me of O'Brien's The Things They Carried. It's like a lieutenant lying on the sea with a pebble in his mouth, soaking in the sun, thinking about my beloved girl... The most extravagant hope in war is that peace. , When they can't help themselves, they can only rely on that moment of escape or rest to support themselves.
