Show cruelty with beauty, tell sadness with agility, tell truth with absurdity, and promote growth with death. When "Moon Rising Kingdom" meets "Life is Beautiful", Qiao Qiao's whims seem absurd to surreal, but they are realistically caught off guard.
Twelve-year-old Jojo is very childish, so childish that he can't even tie his shoelaces; twelve-year-old Jojo is so worldly, so worldly that he madly regards Hitler as his only idol in the crazy Nazi world. So, we saw the crazy moment of the once crazy nation through the simple and rough eyes of a simple and rough "little Nazi". Seeing the world through the eyes of a child will make the beauty of the world purer and the absurdity of the world more ridiculous. When we discover that the words and actions that now seem extremely absurd and ridiculous were once the reality that covered the whole world, made countless people fanatical worship, and still has a resurgence, we will understand that the most absurd part of the absurdity lies in its actuality. is a living reality. And when we laugh at the ridiculous brainwashing that the Nazis taught children about Jews with horns on their heads and girls wanting to cultivate good people for the empire, how many of us are labeling those children who madly worship Hitler as "little Nazis" Label? In fact, all absurdity stems from arrogance, blindness, prejudice and misunderstanding, and all of them stem from one thing - ignorance. Ignorance comes in all shapes and sizes, and it can be in the name of evil or good. And the most rare thing about this film is that it not only tells us that Jews are hornless like everyone else, but also tells us that children in Germany who wear Nazi uniforms every day and idolize Hitler are just children like all children. ——Because they do not know that patriotism and love for the Nazis are not the same concept, and patriotism and love of war are not a context. Through the camera, the audience can see how this child who has been brainwashed since childhood experienced the collapse of the imagined world and how to re-establish his cognition of a real world of truth, goodness and beauty. Facing the collapse of the spiritual world is not easy, and making a choice between the two worlds is even more difficult. And a little Nazi who is sure that the empire will win, firmly chooses gentleness, kindness and freedom at the last moment of the ideology of power and masculinity. Such a choice is moving and awe-inspiring. This choice not only depends on his personal growth, but also on the silent waiting and support of those firm and kind people around him. Mom is the most dazzling light in this colorful but cold film. When the life of the husband is unknown, the son is full of Heil When Hilter, she always believed that her son was just a child, that the war would end and the world would return to a better place. Although the battalion commander of the training camp was full of guns and enchanting eyes, he played the role of the father that Qiao Qiao had been missing at a critical time point for Qiao Qiao. When the Gestapo raided their home, it was his seemingly generous but life-and-death help that saved Jojo and Aisha; and when the country was captured, he used his fearless laughter and scolding, and finally exchanged his life for Jojo to continue to live. The world is too cruel, the world in that crazy age is even more cruel, and in this crazy and cruel world, in the chaos of blind obedience around, the mother who is gentle on the outside and firm in heart, the battalion commander who is confused on the outside and sober in heart, they use their The greatest kindness in my heart enables Jojo to be redeemed, to grow, and to see the right world with the right eyes.
Davis is very spiritual and fits well with the character of Jojo, but he always feels that there is something missing. It may be the kind of power that can break people's hearts. Compared to Davis, the two adult supporting roles are very, very bright. In the scene where Scarlett pretended to be her father, Kong Wu's appearance was full of indifference and reluctance, and the dance with the stool and the child added a rare tenderness to that trembling age, which was beautifully heartbreaking; Rockaway Er said seriously about the appearance of his new military uniform, which made people want to cry while laughing. At the end, when he really put on this bright and blind costume to face the subjugation of the country, he actually gave birth to a kind of Don Quixote. tragic and decisive. With their rich body language and deep, restrained eyes, these two excellent actors exemplify the effect of tragedy in a comedy way that Davis lacks in this young actor. If, if, this little actor has the eyes of Haley Joe Osment and the temperament of Freddie Highmore, the effect of the performance may be more powerful and infectious (I seem to be a bit picky).
Seeing the world from the perspective of a long-established bad guy, and also from the perspective of a teenage Nazi Party, saw those who had been blatant enemies of the whole world, the blind arrogance, self-centeredness and failure of that nation with pain. War is divided into good and evil, but the trauma of war is actually the same, and there is no distinction between good and evil. Even this nation, which has experienced the complete collapse of the spiritual world and was cast aside by the whole world, its trauma and pain are even more unknown and unspeakable.
