The Jojos are not so much the teenagers of the Nazis as they are the teenagers of Germany's absurd times. The training camp is like an alienated school. The daily classes have turned into the indoctrination of anti-Semitic knowledge, and the summer camp during the holidays has changed from wild survival training to killing warfare training. But in the eyes of Jojos, all this is actually the same as the real campus. It is a place for them to take risks, study, and play with their partners. The colorful lights in the tent and the bonfires that danced in the sky that night made almost everyone believe this. The rationality of this kind of education, the children will not question the motives of war, will not find the absurdity of war, the children are naive, and sadly, the naive are best used.
Ten-year-old boys worship the Führer, and in the final analysis, they worship heroes and adventurous spirits, adults know it, but no one wants to point it out, or even constantly use it, and constantly encourage them to go down the barbaric path. The collective unconscious of the entire society is also quietly destroying one child after another. Child and killing, the most naive and the most evil words, when combined, become incredibly absurd and sad.
At seventeen minutes, Jojo's mother's words were the first thing that made me feel extremely sad: "Mother lion will be more worried about the baby lion, especially when the father is not around." If there were no absurd wars and illusory beliefs, maybe in On such a sunny and warm morning, father and mother would wear parent-child pajamas together, standing at the door and watching Qiaoqiao carry her schoolbag and go to school with concern. In my opinion, the image of the lion here also has two meanings: Qiao Qiao's mother hopes that Qiao Qiao is a lion, she hopes that he will be brave, and at the same time, she uses this fairy tale metaphor to create a kind little world for him. And the Nazis hoped that the Jojos were a pack of lions, that they could slaughter and conquer every place they went. In Qiao Qiao's heart, the purpose of becoming a lion may have always been the former. He just didn't want to be alone or to be bullied.
Metal, muscle, dynamite are not the strongest things in the world, only love is. full of humanitarianism.
