At the beginning of the story, Captain K said in the opening speech of the Junior Team’s weekend training, in a listless but energetic tone:
"Our country is currently in a bad situation on the battlefield, and it seems that there is no hope of winning the war.
But we seem to be all normal. "
Yes, everything looks normal. The streets are clean and tidy, pedestrians are as calm as the old, and life is as calm as water.
However, the signs of the collapse of the building were everywhere at the beginning of the story: the big men in the swimming pool were struggling to paddle on the surface (surface), but there were only stumps under the water. The teenagers who were still training in the youth team on the weekend really got on the military vehicles and rushed to the battlefield. It can be seen that the adult manpower has been exhausted and cruel.
In retrospect, Captain K’s tone, on the surface, was due to his depression of not being able to go to the battlefield, but it was a vivid metaphor for the German situation on the battlefield.
As the timeline progressed, Mom told Jojo joyfully: The Allied forces entered Italy and the war would be over soon.
Next, something more ridiculous happened than when a teenager went to the battlefield. For example, the 11-year-old little fat man became a soldier and wore a paper uniform. He was torn apart in the final battle. It was a bluffing military. Performance.
There are also Boy Scouts collecting iron weapons in the city, women standing on the street playing with rocket launchers, and dilapidated leaflets on the wall pillars.
The smoke at the end of the war is getting closer.

#妈妈的爱#
My mother's love for Jojo is patient, kind, tolerant of all things, and hopeful for all things, and it never stops. This love is strung together by lace-up shoes and embellished in the film.
Mom’s tenderness and patience is that every time she cares and encourages, she leaned down to tie Jojo's shoes.
Mother's kind hope is to twist Jojo's small head away and look at the lace-up shoes hanging in the square. Quietly taught him that even if the reality is cold and cruel, he must face it.
Mom’s lively feature is wearing playful red and white shoes, stepping on lively dance steps, jumping around in front of Jojo’s eyes, guiding Jojo time and time again, not to be a state machine, to feel love, to know love. Because the most powerful thing is love, not metal.
Mother's love has not been disappointed.
Jojo saw the red and white contrasting shoes that were once lively beating hanging in front of his eyes, there was only grief, no fear. He sadly wanted to tie his mother's shoes, but found that he still couldn't, because he was so loved by his mother.
Until Jojo restrained his urge to keep Elsa and gave the freedom of choice to the one he loved, at that moment, he understood love. Like a mother, he leaned down and laced his beloved one, joking that it was very dangerous outside. At that moment, Jojo looked like a mother full of love and yearning for freedom and peace.

#狂热小Nazis and how the friendship between a little Jewish girl is developed#
Although Jojo is not a natural Nazi in his bones, he was almost nurtured.
He really believed that Jews had horns on their heads and tails behind them (there should be bgm here), and that Jews were of low ancestry and Aryan ancestry was noble.
He also really believed that the existence of this Jew should be exposed. However, if the Jews are exposed, the beloved mother will suffer together. Jojo had to give up this practice.
So when Captain K teased, if Jews don't wear a hat, who would recognize it? Jojo immediately took this opportunity to show his worth: Although he is not good at fighting, he can do it with intelligence. I have a unique advantage. The Jews in the walls of my house can provide first-hand information. .
So there was a picture album of "yo Jews" and the frequent interaction between the little Nazi Jojo and the Jewish girl Elsa, which broke Jojo’s indoctrinated concept of Jews: as an Aryan, I should be better than a Jewish girl. noble? More powerful? Better? It doesn't seem to be the case. Elsa is even better.
To make matters worse, the Jewish girl sometimes fierce, sometimes friendly, and sometimes sharply saw through her disguise, causing a thousand butterflies to pop out of Jojo's stomach. This is how to do?
Jojo didn't know what to do. He only knew that when the Gestapo came to search his house, he was too afraid that Elsa would be found and taken away. He was so nervous that his brain was blank, but he never thought of betraying Elsa.
However, before Jojo readily accepted the appearance of the butterfly, he first discovered that his mother had been hanged in the square. Heartache.
After Jojo's anger passed, he and Elsa became hard brothers. They all experienced the suffering of being taken away from their parents by the Nazis. In the following winter, when they lacked supplies, they depended on each other for fate.
At this point, the friendship has come, and Elsa is not only a friend of Jojo, but also an indispensable relative.

#K Captain's Sober vs Fat Female Officer's Mania#
Captain K is sober and depressed. He can see the situation clearly, and also understand that the building will be declining. In the opening speech of the youth team training weekend, he bluntly said that he should die brilliantly on the battlefield.
Captain K is a soldier who is loyal to the country, but he is not blind. The children sit on the sidelines while burning books and making fun, satirizing the suspicious investigations and hangings carried out by the party, and feels that there is no difference between Jews and Germans.
Captain K's kindness may be as deep as his sexuality. He sympathized with the weak and knew that Jojo no longer had a father, so when he heard the news of Rosie's death, he had to rush to help with his bicycle. It should be to help Jojo clean up the suspicious items. Facing the weak girl who was in doubt, she also offered help.
This is the nature of a soldier. Be a strong soldier to protect the weak.
Maybe this loyal but sober is the reason why he keeps drinking?
In contrast is the glamorous fat female officer.
Her blind enthusiasm is almost burning. She is an adult with only a child's mind. She is convinced that the Jews are inferior and evil. Children enjoy it when they burn books, and even send them to the battlefield to death at the last moment.
The madness of the fat female officer puts on Jojo in battle clothes to realize his fanatical dream.
Captain K's compassion took off Jojo's shirt and told him to go home and live a good life.

#Heil HitlerFrom enthusiastic to untimely#
At the beginning of the story, it shows that Jojo is a fanatical little Nazi, and even his fancied friend is the image of Adolf.
It can be seen how mainstream and politically correct the Nazi clubs are in Jojo's social environment, making ordinary children yearn for it.
Education should start from the baby is indeed an eternal philosophy.
What's interesting is that the response to Jojo's enthusiasm for Heil Hitler is not any pedestrian in the neighborhood, but the interspersed real historical documentary fragments, and another stupid and innocent fat boy friend. The hoarse shouts in the black and white images silently remind the spectators that all of this has a real foundation.
The fat female officer is definitely not fighting alone.
It’s not just an exaggerated joke that the blonde and fat female officer gave birth to 18 children for the empire. Let’s find out about Hitler’s Aryan Refinement Project Nursery Garden.
When the Gestapo went to the home to search, the Gestapo Five and Captain K duo and Elsa's mutual Heil was ridiculous and had to do it, because it was still a life-and-death situation for the Nazi Party.
Until the city was broken and the country was destroyed, the witty little fat boy Jiyou awakened the dreamer with a saying: Now is not a good time to be a Nazi.
This is the portrayal of a type of person, although it may not be right or wrong, but it is time.

#Nazi Dagger#
Each appearance of this Nazi dagger is an emotional turning point for the little Nazi Jojo, and the arrangement is very humorous.
When Jojo received the Nazi dagger from Captain K at the weekend training camp, he was still a child member of the fanatic club.
Then Jojo used this dagger to pry through the cracks in the planks and found the Jewish girl Elsa, who was then confiscated by the Jewish girl. Jojo’s Nazi beliefs were in great crisis.
When Jojo was questioned by the Gestapo and was at a loss, the Jewish girl took a Nazi dagger to relieve Jojo. At this time, Jojo knew in his heart that he was no longer a loyal little Nazi.
When Captain K took the dagger and returned it to Jojo, Jojo took the dagger, but took off the club boy uniform that he had been wearing.
At this point, the transformation of the brainless little Nazi has been completely completed, accompanied by the meaningful company of this dagger.

The style of the movie is like the Grand Budapest Hotel. The composition of the picture is symmetrical, the foreshadowing details echo before and after, the color matching is fairy tale-like comfort, the dress-like design is exquisite and elegant, the character dialogue seems absurd but hidden mystery, with unruly light rock as the background color. The palatability is excellent, and the second brush is also recommended. Silently appreciate this absurd light comedy and pay attention to the detailed expression of the sincere arrangement of the director in every act.
