Jojo's whimsical world

Jojo's whimsical world.

Obviously it is a movie with a name like a fairy tale. Even the movie pictures are mostly warm tones, but it shows me the cruelty of war.

Obviously we already know the cruel truth, but we will still be moved by those gentle details.

Ten-year-old Jojo, with a small body, pretends to be a fanatical thought. He liked Hitler purely and had nothing to do with politics. Hitler existed in his imagination, a kind of existence similar to funny.

When a person is brainwashed by forced values, how do you know who you really are?

Jojo's mother taught him: Be a real person. Romance, free, full of hope, you can dance at any time. She said: Love is the strongest thing in the world.

Love is a mother leaning over to tie her shoelaces, a Jewish girl hiding in a fireplace, a colorful butterfly flying in her belly, a free dance in the sun, and a precious humanity remaining in the real world where gunfire is flying.

When we look at this darkest history of mankind from the perspective of a child, the beauty is clearer and the ugliness is deeper. No matter how absurd and grotesque the movie is, it is not as realistic as it is.

At the end of the movie is Rilke's poem.

"Let everything happen to you

Beauty and terror

Just keep going

No feeling is final. ”

Just keep going.

When you are free, what is the first thing you want to do?

    According to my recent observations in the cinema, Black Widow has done much better than Iron Man when it comes to the reemployment of superheroes.

    The film cuts into World War II and Nazi themes from a children's perspective, and is handled in a fairy tale, spoof-comedy way. No wonder many people will mention "A Beautiful Life", of course, it's not the same. The film is actually very Taiga Viditi's style, which makes it so silly and wanton in such a serious subject. It's a spoof comedy on the surface, but it's sad on the inside. The story is not deep, the important thing is that the child's perspective can easily resonate with the public. A few supporting actors actually performed better. Scarlett Johansson’s costume and hairstyle were so beautiful that they couldn’t be seen enough; Sam Rockwell proved his acting talent with only a few plays. A movie that is generally entertaining, but secretly sad, is also because of this mix and match of elements, so that the audience's emotions after watching it will be very complicated, and it is difficult to describe it with a single emotion that is funny or touching. Although, I have not been particularly able to comprehend the director's laughter. In addition, this soundtrack is the highlight, all kinds of classic rock music, so comfortable.
