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?
