Jojo's Whimsical World

The movie is a sad story, Jojo's mother died. Like many Jews or people who helped Jews, they were hanged.

His mother was caught sending out anti-war leaflets. Saw that pair of shoes, which had a close-up. Mom took Jojo to the river for a walk, and there was a close-up of the time when she was dancing on the riverside. The time of death is also the shoes.

A child who has been cared for, tying her mother's shoelaces.

Those people came to his house to investigate, and there was a Jew hiding in his house! But this was not found because of the help of the instructors.

The instructor who trained him, was he a good guy or a bad guy? He said he broke an eye by mistake on the battlefield, but he also saved Jojo when he was caught. Who knows. I think he's a good guy, but he's also a participant in a war. People in war are very complicated! War is also complicated!

    Very, very cute, the whole atmosphere is reminiscent of Moonrise Kingdom. I gave it one extra star because we need this kind of movie, plus Rilke's poem at the end. In a crazy world, sober and kind people are needed to keep the last bit of light, and leave a glimmer of hope for those who have fallen into madness, especially for us at this moment. When I reread the Lord of the Rings this year, I was very impressed by the passage: "The achievement of promoting the Wheel of the World often follows this process: When the eyes of great men are cast elsewhere, it is those insignificant hands who acted because they felt obliged to take action. "I believe in the power of kindness and simplicity, and the insignificant power hidden in ordinary human nature is the real power that drives the wheel of the world, like the deer that led Harry to find the Gryffindor sword through the dark forest. It is the power of the patron saint composed of dots of stars. And my biggest improvement this year is precisely: I am responsible for giving myself little power.

    It took three weeks to accept that his grandfather was not blond, blue-eyed, addicted to 4D, and tried to prove that he was a fanatic, Hitler, who had four testicles and a unicorn, fell into an inexplicable Mexican stalemate, and a roof with eyes. "Long live Hitler" repeated over and over...everything is so cute and in place with mockery, dumbfounding. The unexpected surprise of this year’s awards season, 2019 "Moonrise Kingdom" x "Little Sunshine" x "Beautiful Life" x "Shameless Bastard"... Wes Anderson's bantering romance, the saddest comedy is this. "Is it dangerous outside? Very dangerous", "If you are free, the first thing you have to do is dance" Helping mother and Inga to tie their shoes are the two most real arcs in this whimsical world. "Today, do your best." Nothing is set in stone, living is justice.

Jojo Rabbit quotes

  • Adolf Hitler: Sure, you're a little bit scrawny and a bit unpopular and you can't tie your shoelaces even though you're ten years old. But you're still the bestest, most loyal little Nazi I've ever met. Not to mention the fact you're really good-looking.

  • [first lines]

    Jojo Betzler: [Jojo puts on his uniform and looks at himself in the mirror] Jojo Betzler, ten years old. Today, you join the ranks of the Jungvolk in a very special training weekend. It's going to be intense. Today, you become a man.

    [pause]

    Jojo Betzler: I swear to devote all my energies and my strength to the savior of our country, and of his now. I am willing and ready to give up my life for him. So help me, God.

    [Hitler walks around Jojo]

    Adolf Hitler: Yes, that's right. Now, Jojo Betzler, what is your mind?

Sure, you're a little bit scrawny and a bit unpopular and you can't tie your shoelaces even though you're 10 years old, but you're still the bestest, most loyal little Nazi I've ever met. Not to mention the fact you're really good looking. So you're gonna get out there and you're gonna have a great time, okay?

    Adolf Hitler: Who's Hitaler? Do you even speak German?
