I Loved JoJo Rabbit

Finished watching the 2019 movie JoJo Rabbit directed by Taika Waititi and starring Roman Griffin Davis as our main character JoJo.This movie punched me in the feels. Such a sad but heartfelt movie about a ten year old kid who's so caught up in his Hitler Youth propaganda about Jews that until he learns his mother is currently hiding one, makes everything JoJo believes in questions himself and his beliefs. If you stripe JoJo down completely, he's really just actually a scared ten year old boy who doesn't know what to believe in. Should he believe what the Nazi Party tells him to about Jews and and his imagery friend who also just so happens to be Adolf Hitler himself? Should he believe in Elsa, the Jewish girl his mother is hiding? Such an interesting movie about a kid living in Nazi Germany that ate all the lies and propaganda the Nazis pumped out during the war. This movie will stick with me forever. Especially the two scenes that'll be glued into my brain is when the Gestapo came to investigate JoJo's house and everyone kept saying to each other "Heil Hitler" and Elsa did it so she could survive another day, though it definitely killed her on the inside to have salute to these monsters who are murdering her own people. And finally JoJo discovering Rosie, his mother, hanging at the gallows. The camera pointing to Rosie's shoes in a couple of scenes doesn't seem much at the time, until you see them up in the air and it finally hits you like a truckload of bricks.Every time Taika Waititi and Roman Griffin Davis was on screen together they stole the show. All the cast was phenomenal. But I think the icing on the cake having Waititi, the director who can act and is a Russian Jew on his mother's side of the family, playing as Adolf Hitler who'd definitely hate his guts, is the biggest fuck you to Hitler that brings me great satisfaction. I hope Hitler is still rolling in his grave about that.Great movie and I'm happy to finally had the time and gotten around to watch it. A favorite of mine now. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/r4WOyRd
