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".

    After the premiere, the audience stood up and applauded, and the laughter did not stop for more than two hours. The style is directed by the tower. The film tells the story of the Nazis and Jews during the Second World War in a witty and cheerful way from the perspective of a little boy. From the children's perspective, the prejudice and discrimination in the world seem particularly ironic. You may find some plots ridiculous, but after laughing, you realize that this is reality.

    It’s embarrassing to watch, maybe I just can’t stand the use of Nazis in American movies to make some movies that seem positive and are really boring and self-righteous.

Jojo Rabbit quotes

  • Adolf Hitler: Sure, you're a little bit scrawny and a bit unpopular and you can't tie your shoelaces even though you're ten years old. But you're still the bestest, most loyal little Nazi I've ever met. Not to mention the fact you're really good-looking.
