I like that little devil too much hahahaha, he is so cute hum. It is really sad to be poisoned and brainwashed by education, and then put a bomb with the teacher's hands and push it out.
Captain K saved his siblings, but is he a good person? We cannot judge that he must have bombed the enemy on the battlefield, and he did not really oppose evil. This power is too small. It is like the "opposition to the ruling party" who "did what they should do" defending humanitarianism by suicide. But is it the suicide demonstration that finally made the Nazis stop?
No, it's the artillery of the US and Soviet forces.
But is Captain K a bad guy? We cannot say the same. He is the same as Jojo, who has adored Adolf, the "little devil" who carried a cannon through a shop, etc.: a small person who is shackled by what he sees and hears in a big environment-they don't even see it. What did the Jews look like?
When Captain K put on the "original suit" and fired wildly with his "little lover" deputy, he did defend their Germany to some extent. When he died, he was also protecting German children.
I think the best scene in the whole play is that his mother taught Jojo the beauty of the butterfly, and the butterfly led him to see his mother's death in a blink of an eye.
Life and death are at the moment when the butterfly spreads its wings.
So although it is called the family version of "Life is Beautiful", I prefer "Jojo", because you can't have a terrible hatred for any of the characters in it. Is the Gestapo hateful? But they couldn't recognize the Jews with "human head and fish body" even face to face, and they were easily deceived. Is Captain K hateful? He saved two children. Is mother hateful? She is indeed doing "things she can do". Is Teacher Sith hateful? She rushed towards the enemy with a machine gun...
I can't hate anyone.
On the contrary, everyone here showed so many different faces in the war of all mankind.
The story is not monotonous at all.
In the end, I love the dance that depends on each other at the dining table, the dance by the water where many couples used to date, and the "extremely" scary dance in front of the cottage.
"If the war is over, what do you want to do most?"
"Dance"
In fact, before the end of the war, everyone in "Jojo" has already done the most beautiful dance in life.
