[A+] The movie uses black humor to accuse the cruelty of war. The opening scene is very Wes Anderson's style, but black humor and fun are only appearances. This story is cruel to the core! This is a tragic story of a boy facing the world and the war. Although there is warmth, it cannot hide the sadness. The film uses rabbit imagery, contrasting the eagle, which represents Nazi power, with the rabbit, which represents weakness. Compared with the huge political system that may fall apart at any time, the rabbit represents every ordinary person who is facing the harsh reality with difficulty. This movie is actually looking at the world of eagles and rabbits from the perspective of children. Under the rule of eagles, some rabbits are domesticated and become the accomplices of eagles (Ms. Ram), while others choose to resist (Jojo's mother). Rosie) They knew what was right, they believed that the eagle would always perish, so they endured, concealed and resisted, waiting for the day when the eagle fell off the cliff. In the end, Jojo saw the truth in her contact with the cruel world. Seeing the smoke of gunpowder everywhere, his illusion was shattered. And what greets him will be a life that is cruel to the core. But even so, Jojo asked Elsa, "What is the first thing you will do after you are free?" She still answered without hesitation, "Dancing." At the end of the film, they walked to the street, Facing the sun, danced a dance.

After all "Dancing is for people who are free, it's an escape for all this."
