*****SPOILER ALERT ABOUT THE BOOK THIS MOVIE IS BASED OFF OF****** I love this movie so much! As a Jew myself, I recommend this film to everyone I know. It is just so extremely well done. It’s odd— I recently read the book that this film is inspired by, and I have to say, this is one of the rare times that the film is SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE BOOK. In the original story, JoJo is actually a teenager when this is happening. And as the war ends, he lies to Elsa about the war ending. AND LITERALLY NEVER TELLS HER. HE KEEPS HER FUCKING HOSTAGE FOR 12 YEARS. He is a creepy, abusive, piece of shit that manipulates Elsa so badly. It’s so fucking weird. Literally the film part of the book only encapsulates the first 1/3 of the book. The rest of the book is JoJo being a psychopath and holding her hostage. Taika Waititi is a genius, and the best thing that could have happened to this story.

2024-03-23 03:47:23 +0000 UTCThis film is so well done. It’s essentially a childs view of the WWII and the blend of comedy and drama is incredible. There is some facts like how the little kids got brainwashed into not questioning things and how stereotypes of Jews came to be. There are some things that arent true like Hitler eating meat but when it comes to him who cares about getting facts right. Highly recommend watching Taika Waitti’s interviews on the film. The butterfly scene seems so calm but then the rise of the camera to the mother’s shoes. I think every reactor ive seen tends to either expect it or it just yanks at their hearts. Very well done scene. Oh the very tall guy in the group that inspects the house, was Amy’s first date after breaking up with Sheldon.

2024-03-22 20:23:55 +0000 UTCI love this movie so much. To me, Jojo Rabbit does what all the best satires do: use comedy and subversion to tell a deeply human and important story. It's hilarious, it's heartwarming, and it has a message that I think will always be relevant. Glad you liked it, dude. 🐰
