About anti-war, black humor and faith.

10 years old, the best years of a child's life, shouldn't be Joe Joe's appearance. In that era, there were many Jojos. The settings of the characters in the film are very unique. Everyone has their own inclinations and beliefs, and they are doing it in their own way. The executed mother, Aisha who has been hiding for many years, and Captain K who secretly protected them. Only Joe Qiao, the ten-year-old kid, was swaying about his beliefs. He doesn't know what faith is, and his following is more like a kind of fanaticism, blind obedience and aimlessness. Long live Hitler on his mouth all the time, but he was beaten by reality time and time again. During the swing, he gradually realized the true meaning of the matter. Captain K is the character who touched me the most, and the one with the strongest comedic effect. The strong comedic impact means that his ending will be miserable. He was patriotic and still charged for his homeland at the last moment. He is reasonable and knows that the current situation is very wrong. He knew right and wrong, and knew that children like Jojo shouldn't be involved in this war, so he tried to save Jojo's mother, helped Aisha, and finally protected Jojo. The war has taken too much, and participating in it blindly and fanatically will inevitably fail. "Jojo's Fantastic World" uses an extremely humorous approach to show the history of the last moments of the Nazis, and this black humor is touched and regrettable in the second half of the film. The film is commendable in terms of soundtrack and shooting. The soundtrack is in place, and the lens framing is quite comfortable, which stimulates emotional brewing. Director Taiga Widiti used joy and sadness to create this "fantasy world", which can be regarded as another "beautiful life".

Jojo Rabbit quotes

  • Yorki: There are bigger things to worry about than Jews, Jojo. There's Russians somewhere out there. They're worse than anyone. I heard they eat babies and have sex with dogs. I mean like that's bad, right?

    Jojo: Sex with dogs?

    Yorki: Yeah. The Englishmen do it too. We have to stop them before they eat us and screw all our dogs.
