I will not say that JOJO RABBIT has the cruelty of facing reality and the ugliness of human nature. For me it didn't. Of course, the movie has the cost of touching war and fighting for justice, but the world seen from the children's eyes is still a world of life is painful and life is beautiful. And this is what I need now, because for a long time I saw only the first half: life is painful. There are many misfortunes in the world of JOJO, as well as many good things. Although my mother left, the reason for leaving and some of the memories it brought to JOJO are wonderful. JOJO once worshipped Nazism blindly. Although he didn't understand it at the time, he would thank the girl who told him JOJO, you're not a nazis when he grew up. In fact, he understood it at the end of the film. There are many symbols of freedom and growth in the movie: tying your shoes, dancing. It is very cleverly and realistically compiled in the narrative of the movie. I like it very much... Especially the association about dance and freedom. It fits very well.
Rosie said: "dancing is for people who are free. It's an escape from all this.

Jojo asked: "what's the first thing you'll do when you're free.
Elsa: Dance.

When David Bowie’s hero started bombing, when JOJO and Elsa started dancing, I laughed and cried. Life is painful and life is beautiful.
The Dance of Freedom reminds me of many movies I have seen recently. The solo dance left by him on the steps in the clown. The solo dance left by the hostess in the setting sun in the burning. Everyone’s memories are accompanied by the long-lasting group dance of friendship. The passion, hatred, happiness, pain and beauty in these clips overflowed, words can no longer carry, so dance! When you are free, dance! When you are alive, dance! Dance, celebrate and embrace the pain and beauty of life! So what are you doing standing up, dance as much as you like :)
