I wanted to see how good a movie would be for Scarlett to be willing to play a supporting role for a little friend and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, but it didn't disappoint. The film shows the brutality of the Nazis against the Jews and the brutality of the war from the perspective of a child.
A ten-year-old boy, Jojo, is an avid Nazi enthusiast and is excited to go to a Nazi youth training camp. In the training camp, the one-eyed Lieutenant K led them. Because he did not dare to kill a rabbit with his bare hands in the training camp, Jojo was mocked by the officers as "Jojo Rabbit". Later, he was injured in the hospital because of a mistake in throwing a grenade, and was kicked out of the youth training camp. After returning home, I can only help the youth reservists to do some work of distributing flyers. Jojo's father was in the war in Italy, and he and his mother, Rossi, depended on each other. Jojo often regards a Hitler in his fantasy as his father. He will comfort Jojo when he is sad and help him when he is bullied by others. But what Jojo didn't know was that his mother was secretly working for the anti-Nazi party and secretly adopted a Jewish girl, Aisha, on the second floor of the house.
Rossi encourages Elsa to keep on living, and only in this way is the real victory. She also worries about her ten-year-old son's Nazi fanaticism. Rossi told Jojo that love is the hardest thing in the world. Jojo said it was metal, then dynamite and muscle. Rossi said you shouldn't be your age talking about war and politics all day, you should be climbing trees and falling down. Life is a gift, and we sing about it and dance to tell God that we are grateful for being human. Jojo said, dancing is something that people who don't have a job do. Mom told Jojo that dancing is something free people do, an antidote to escaping harsh reality. This mother-son dialogue is one of the warmest and most poignant moments in the film. In fact, my mother has been protecting Jojo's pure heart. At the same time, Rossi is also teaching his son to face the harsh reality. When Jojo was sick of seeing the corpses of anti-Nazis hanging in the town square, her mother turned his head to let him face the corpses. Jojo asked her mother what they did. Rossi said it was all they could do. Maybe at this time Rossi knew that he would face his son in this way one day.
Jojo stumbles upon Aisha hiding at home. At first he was afraid of Elsa and always wanted to hand Elsa to the army. He decided to ask Elsa to explain Jewish knowledge and living habits, etc. to him, and he wanted to write a book on it. In the constant contact with Elsa, Jojo's view of Jews has gradually changed, and he will even pretend to imitate Elsa's fiancé Nathan to write to Elsa and read to her, wanting to make her happy and hopeful . When the Gestapo came to check on her home, Aisha pretended to be Jojo's deceased sister, and with the help of Lieutenant K, was able to escape the murder. Jojo finds her mother secretly handing out anti-Nazi flyers during a metal-gathering event for the country. Just days after the Gestapo inspection, Jojo was handing out leaflets on the street when she found her mother hanged in the middle of the town square.
The war was over and Germany was defeated. What Jojo, who was fleeing on the street, saw in her eyes was that adults and children, women and children, were all risking their lives to fight with guns. During the melee, he saw Lieutenant K still doing his last resistance in his own uniform. At the scene where the prisoners were counted, Jojo met Lieutenant K, and he said to Jojo that your mother is a real good person. Go home and take care of your sister. Then he quickly took off the military uniform that Jojo was wearing, and shouted to him, you Jew, get out of the way, and spit on Jojo's body. Lieutenant K rescued Jojo in this way. When he got home, Jojo saw the imaginary Hitler again. He threw the Nazi armband to Jojo and asked him to continue wearing it on his arm. At this time, Jojo was no longer the fanatical Nazi fan. He kicked Hitler with one kick. out of the room. Jojo, who really loves his country, still can't accept the fact that Germany is defeated, and he tells Elsa that Germany has won. Then, holding a blank piece of paper, she read Nathan's letter to Elsa, asking her to persevere and trusting Jojo to take her out. Elsa told him that Nathan had died of tuberculosis a year earlier. Aisha, who finally walked out of the room, found that Germany had been defeated, and danced with Jojo on the street.
Scarlett is still the most beautiful in the film, her acting skills are absolutely stable, and the German-flavored English is also very human. This year, she was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress at the same time. Although they all failed, it has fully proved that the sexy and beautiful widow sister with great box office appeal is not only a beautiful vase, but the two are different. The performance in the style film has already made me look forward to her next film unconditionally.
