The least war movie

A rabid Nazi, ten-year-old boy who had Hitler as his fantasy partner. A mother who fought hard in the war, a father who never showed up.

The director shows us the daily life of an ordinary German town at the end of World War II in a way that is most unlike a war movie. The bright and bright picture forms a strong contrast with the 1917 next door. Jojo is passionate, obsessed with the swastika flag, and believes that he is a noble blood of the Aryan nation. Until one afternoon, he met Elsa hiding at home, a... Jew who made the butterflies in his stomach dance. All of this seems to be inconsistent with what he has always known. These Jews don't look any different from him, they don't have strange horns, and they are even...a bit good-looking.

We saw World War II through the eyes of many Jews, and Jojo gave us another perspective. But it's not as powerless as the boy in striped pajamas. The mother played by the widow sister, her real name is cute. Prove with practical actions that "to heal the cruel world, only love and tolerance".

The various metaphors and ironies that appear in the film seem so obvious to us, but they are so convinced of their own persistence in the play. It is impossible to know whether we are also being controlled by ridiculous thoughts at the moment.

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.

  • Captain Klenzendorf: Well, if it isn't Herr Handgrenade himself.
