War brings disaster to people, but also makes people think. Both "Schindler's List" and "The Pianist" look at war from an adult's perspective, but the latter describes it from the point of view of the victims, Jews. And "Jojo's Rabbit" and "Toy Island" are similar in effect. They both look at war from a child's perspective. The war in "Toy Island" has become a good lie, but "Jojo's Rabbit" World" is not only World War II, but also Jojo's war with the imaginary Hitler.

"Jojo Rabbit" is a film that combines war themes with historical themes. It tells the story of the persecution of Jews in World War II and Jojo's struggle with the imaginary Hitler. It reflects the cruelty of war and the The danger of the Jewish race, the film expresses a voice against war, a desire for peace and no racial discrimination. In the film, Jojo's mother is working hard to oppose the war, and the Jewish Aisha is separated from her parents because of the war, and they are all displaced. They all yearn for the arrival of peace. It is precisely because of the war that the United States invaded Germany that Jojo understands the dangers of war and the meaning of peace.

Mother played an important role in Jojo's life. Jojo's mother is a person who understands and respects the child's ideas. She will not force Jojo to change her mind because she is against the war and Jojo is a little Nazi. She lets the child do what she wants to do; She is still a person who yearns for peace. She is against war and Nazism. She and her husband have dedicated themselves to the cause of peace in different places. She is also a free and easy person. She once said to Jojo, "Dancing is What free people do", so at the end Jojo and Elsa dance face to face after walking out of the gate, because at this time they think they are already free people.

Jojo's cognition of Nazis changed with the development of the plot and gradually returned to the real world. In the film, the clip of tying shoelaces is repeated many times, and the method of repeated montage is used to promote the development of the plot. At the beginning, when his mother ties Jojo's shoelaces, Jojo is still a pure Nazi; when he chats with his mother by the river after he finds Aisha, a Jewish man at home, his mother ties his shoelaces. With an ignorant understanding; when Jojo was chasing butterflies, she found that her mother was dead, and when she saw her mother's shoelaces, she helped her to tie the messy shoelaces, and then hugged her mother's legs and began to suffer. Return to reality; after the war, before Jojo and Elsa walked out of the gate, Jojo tied her shoelaces for Elsa. At that time, he had already defeated the imaginary Hitler, and he had returned to real life. Therefore, the action of tying shoelaces plays an important role in the film.

The music sang Jojo's inner feelings. In the film, Qiaoqiao is at war, the music is intense and harsh, and Qiaoqiao uses slow motion when looking around. The music is accompanied by the movement of Qiaoqiao's sight, which not only makes Qiaoqiao feel the cruelty of the war, but also makes Qiaoqiao feel the cruelty of the war. Let us feel this tragic scene, vividly showing Jojo's inner feelings.

The harm that war brings to people is irreparable. We long for peace. Jojo has experienced a lot of wars before she truly understands the importance of peace. Perhaps peace may not necessarily bring us a lot of fame and fortune, but war will certainly bring harm and destruction.
