What's really upsetting is these young children are so accustomed to seeing bodies on display in the streets that he isn't really affected until he realizes who is actually executed.
Not just the children. One of my biggest takeaways from Covid was how quickly people became desensitized to the 1000+ deaths daily unless it was someone they had an emotional stake in.
@@dracos24 you are spot on with that observation. So many only thoughts were of how does this affect me and not considering the ramifications of their behavior and attitudes towards the population as a whole whether locally or global.
To be fair its easier to not focus on deaths when its read to you on a screen. It feels fake till it happens to you. Technology had desensitized alot due to not having to see it yourself @dracos24
@@dracos24those Covid numbers were a hoax brother. If you had Covid and died in a car crash, they labeled it as death by Covid. The numbers were boosted to scare the public.
I really love the part where he tries to tie her shoes but can't. It's doing several things at once: 1. Showing that he's in shock (it's the first thing he can think to do) 2. Letting us see even more how much he cares (trying to fix his mom's undone laces for her even after she's dead) 3. Emphasizing to the audience that he's just a kid and isn't at all prepared to be alone (he can't even tie shoelaces, let alone live on his own)
I also like to think of it as a metaphor that he is trying to be better. His mum (and her shoes) represented joy and care for others; trying to tie them and failing I think symbolises that he is also trying to better himself, yet without his mother guiding him, Jojo finds out he is not as ready as he maybe thought he was. Then at the end of the movie, he can tie Elsa's shoes-hes become the person he and his mother wanted to be
I kind of thought of the shoe tying as a struggle of Jojo. He's capable of doing it here, but it would be admitting that his mom is gone, and that his childhood is over, and he's not quite ready for that yet.
I saw in one of the behind-the-scenes that Waititi was really gentle with the child actor. They worked hard to give him motivation for his tears without showing him something specifically horrific, and they had a live actor in the harness so he could see the person was *acting* and was okay. Obviously kids aren't stupid, but your brain doesn't always have control of your fear.
It NEVER has control of fear. That's not how the brain works. Your neocortex controls exactly nothing. The structures of your hindbrain completely rule you, no matter what. Nothing short of radical brain surgery can change that. No drug, no training, nothing. All the rest of your brain does, is smooth out the responses from your hindbrain, and fill in gaps where needed...and maybe add some window dressing. You can't consciously make choices...ever. Those decisions are done before you're even consciously aware they exist to be made at all. There's a measurable several fractions of a second between when your hindbrain decides something, and your neocortex becomes aware of it. And it's the immutable structure of the brain at work. It can't be sped up, bypassed, or reversed. Period. More importantly, most human problems with fear and pain aren't a question of control, but perspective. Everyone sees them as enemies to be conquered, or useless quirks to be disregarded. And that sets everyone up for failure at the worst possible moment. It's why "courage" ALWAYS fails. Doing the opposite of what your fear compels you to do...is exactly the same as doing what it's compelling you to do. The opposite of burning to death is freezing to death...not "not dying at all." The only way to deal with fear and pain is to understand that they aren't adversaries...they're YOU. The most fundamental aspect of you. If anything, they should be viewed the way one would view overbearing friends or family who worry about us excessively. There's a right way and wrong way to deal with them. Fighting with them or ignoring them...is the wrong way. Listening to them, reassuring them, and moving forward with care and thoughtfulness, is the right way.
Jackie Cooper became the youngest person nominated for the best actor Oscar in 1931…turns out they got him to cry so convincingly by taking away his dog and pretending to shoot it right before turning on the camera
especially as a child. the things that i couldnt understand as a kid, i look back now and i'm like why was that so hard for me to grasp? I love that they took care with the child actor, wish more of hollywood did that
The Gestapo already killed her before they went to the house. Thats why they were asking so many questions to Elsa & jojo. The Captain actually saved them when he showed up with the mothers bike. Plus I believe the butterfly was the mums way of letting JoJo see what happened to her.
He, or his editor, always does something like that though, uses some iconic visual thing from the movie he's watching as the "censored" thing. For Shawshank redemption it was the Rita Hayworth poster. He's one of the more genuine reactors out there.
Horrible. And these things were done on just a whisper in many cases. Others, just plain 'retribution"/terrorism. I am sorry to hear that he had to endure that...and the years afterward. This is the moment when JoJo finally sees what is really going on.
I loved how earlier in the film, they have the same camera perspective, of him off to right of center, and her feet and ankles left of center, when they are talking about dancing. So you visually recognize the shoes for emphasis, so it can pay off here. Very well done.
@@user-lb9xw4xf2q yes, but i just mean that the director took the time to actually establish that in a previous scene. even their placement in the frame. So you have the previously established image of him looking directly at her feet, while talking. So you have that reference point of her being elevated above him to the left. Like for me personally, I don't really pay too much attention to things like clothing details, even if they are made to be really distinctive, but placement in a scene like when she's dancing and he's just looking at her feet, that sticks in my mind more readily than "She had red wing tips with a white trim" or whatever. So when the hanging scene replicates that exact same perspective, THAT was what resonated more for me personally, for visual recognition of that being his mom. Which I thought was a nice touch
@@happyninja42 True, true. Just for me, the shoes were so unique that their details helped make the recognition more instant. I haven't seen the movie for a few years, so I had no set up for this pay off, but still remembered because of the shoes.
@@user-lb9xw4xf2q I always felt this imagery was on par with the girl in the red jacket in Schindler's List. Taika did a great job of making sure we subconsciously paid attention to her shoes so all we had to see were the shoes hanging and we didn't even need to guess who was wearing them. You somehow knew there was a reason we always were being shown her shoes but had no idea where it was going, just like you knew the girl in the red jacket was being highlighted for some reason but didn't know what for.
She definitely foreshadowed her own death. First was what you quoted, then when she's impersonating Jojo's father. "Take care of my Rosie. She's doing what she can."
This scene recontextualises the previous scene played for laughs (and tension) with the Gestapo showing up at the house and the commander racing there with the mother’s bicycle to warn Jojo
The movie does pull off some impressive tonal extremes without breaking the audience immersion. Just watching this scene, you wouldn't expect the same movie to have imaginary Adolf eating a barbecued unicorn head.
I don't think anyone went into thinking they were going to laugh. I mean WW2, Hitler, etc.... Not only did we find it funny but it was outrageously funny and also gut wrenchingly sad. Truly one of a kind....
@@JohnDAmico-ci2hz I mean the trailers made it seem like it was going to be simply a comedy. I mean how can you go into a movie not thinking it'll be when the kid's imaginary friend is Hitler and he's played by someone who's Jewish irl
@@JohnDAmico-ci2hzI mean, I did get into it expecting to laugh a little because I’d seen the trailers and read reviews, but I did not expect it to be so funny exactly when it was appropriate, so so heartbreaking when it needed to be. And also, I loved that for once there was a respectful Holocaust movie that still ended on a note of hope and with the protagonist ending up doing pretty okay. Honestly, I really had a hard time choosing who to root for between Jojo Rabbit and Parasite, because both movies were incredible and, frankly, perfect at doing everything they were trying to do.
That panning shot took me so by surprise that it took me a few seconds to realize what was going on, and every time I think about it I feel my heart sink to the bottom of my stomach. What a wonderful way to set this scene up so that we would still know what happened and receive the emotional blow, but not in a gratuitously gory way. I love this movie.
I still remember when me & my buddy were watching this & we audibly gasped so loud when it reveals the mom's shoes. I was in such denial for the first few seconds too. I haven't had my heart sink that so far in quite a while so fastly.
The entire sequence of the Gestapo arriving at his house, Jojo finding his mother, and then the confrontation he has with Elsa back home is such a triple punch to the stomach. The Gestapo scene, as humorous as it is, also has a tension and terror to it that begins a tonal shift away from comedy to something much more grim, and this scene after just cements it. And amazing work to the two actors who played the kids in the scene immediately after, no dialogue but so much pain expressed.
Absolutely loved this film, perfect mix of comedy and realism of the seriousness of Nazi Germany. And the fact the director is Jewish too?.. Taika Waititi is phenomenal.
Think about it, everyone, including this kid was used to seeing bodies hung in the street, it only became a big deal when it was someone he cared about. That's the real horror.
I wasn't really shocked by this because the film does a great job foreshadowing it throughout. You get multiple shots directly on her shoes and there's even a slow pan up to her shoes earlier in the film. It's easily one of Taika Watiti's best films and it really shows.
jojo rabbit may have been a work of fiction, but these things DID happen to so so so many more people than you can imagine during WW2. it can happen again. be careful everyone, the world has changed in a fundamental way, and it is going in a dark place. it can improve, and it will again one day, but do you know where we are going before then? enjoy each good day you have. who knows how many more there are.
During the last months of the war people who underminded the german war effort were publicly hung, around thier necks with shields hanging which stated certain things like "I am a traitor to the fatherland" or for soldiers who did not even deserted but got seperated from thier units during combat "I am a deserter" it was one of the last cruelties commited by the Nazis, commited against thier own people.
I think it was the perfect way to do this film, really, the director did an amazing job at balancing making fun of and mocking the genocidal dictatorship of Nazi Germany, but also reminding you that it WAS still a genocide. The mixture of laughter and grief really does something- It should be noted, though, that while this film is based off of a book, it’s recommended not to read it and instead go off of the movie instead. Both the book and the movie are similar up until the mom’s death, at which point the book turns into a … really creepy piece of media. There’s a reason the director made up a whole new ending for it. Nobody has any fucking clue what the fuck the writer was on for the original ending. (It was rape fetish shit, it, it was just a lot of rape fetish shit?)
Some Holocaust films just make you reflect, but still a lot of people are moving to this kind of society without even noticing that they could be them one day. Wether it's the nazis or the victims. Both were humans, just like we are.
@@rantman4521 I agree it's a fantastic movie, for some reason it's "only" an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes though. It definitely deserves to be in the 90s.
Quentin Tarentino : I shoot lots of shots of women's feet to date my foot fetish. Taiko _ I shot lots of shots of Scarlett's shoes so I can make my audience feel emotions.
This is why this film is so good to me. I remember it making me laugh hard to its jokes and then it pulls this out to fire the film back to reality. Its one of the only film where i cried and then burst out laughing at the exact same time because how they blend the comedy with tragedy. (specifically at the finale fight for context, not this bit... this is just heartbreaking_
If there was ever a set up and pay off. Right here. So effective 😢 I’ve watched the movie, and even right now “out of context”, it still hit the feels. I cried through this entire video. I just want to hug him and tell him it’s gonna be ok.
But it isn't dumb actually, it tells us he takes the security of his mother for granted. Jojo is so young and impressionable, he can't even tie shoelaces yet. He takes for granted his mother will be there. We are shown her and her shoes over and over, he sees them every day. And yet, when we/Jojo find her hanging, despite all the warning signs and countless foreshadowing, we are as vulnerable and helpless as is he. He still can't tie the shoelaces, and his mother, who would always help, is now gone. It's not done too much, it's done to convey this feeling of, even though we are told over and over a bad thing is coming, we are never truly ready for it. And in a way, it's saying to the audience, Jojo has more of an excuse than we do as adults, for taking it for granted and not seeing the signs, he is a little boy, we are not, the fact we are shocked too tells us anyone can be suckered in by propaganda and brainwashing. It's super effective and clever.
I felt like I called this scene early in the movie and was just waiting for it to happen. Partner was shocked and totally surprised though 😮 both thought it was a great movie 🎥🍿
Guys. I've been watching Nikki and Steven react for a long time. And I think that Steven prewatches things. It's been bugging me forever and I need to know if I'm alone in thinking this.
Hey guys.. you put a MASSIVE spoiler in the thumbnail of this video, where people cannot avoid seeing it if the algorithm happens to throw this suggestion in their face.
@@mrsfahrenheit spoilers are valid for, if I'm being generous, up to 6 months after release? The movie has been out for 5 years; for the people who have bothered to see it already, they should have every right to discuss the movie and their feelings/thoughts about it freely with others to whom the movie means something. For the people who haven't seen it yet, the amount that will see it is fairly low now, and the amount of those people who will care about "spoilers" is even lower. So no, I'm not going to "avoid spoiling" a movie for a miniscule, theoretical amount of people because some whiny children online can't grasp the concept of "other people exist outside of you and your bubble". The rest of us, will discuss a brilliant movie and shocking scene, like adults.
I'm trying to translate the shoes, but google isn't much help. The best I can figure is it says "freed german jews -fought against the regime." I could be very wrong. What an awful time in history.....

Some Holocaust films just make you reflect, but still a lot of people are moving to this kind of society without even noticing that they could be them one day. Wether it's the nazis or the victims. Both were humans, just like we are.
A really underrated movie.
It's not underrated. It's acclaimed.
@@rantman4521 I agree it's a fantastic movie, for some reason it's "only" an 80% rating on Rotten Tomatoes though. It definitely deserves to be in the 90s.
@@rantman4521a lot of movies are acclaimed but that doesn’t make it less underrated
@@eyecon1189 Agreed. I just don't believe it's underrated...IMO
It won a bunch of awards. People absolutely do know and love this movie.
Won’t lie, I was not expecting this movie to take such a dramatic mood change.
When I saw this in the theaters this scene absolutely wrecked me. I was bawling my eyes out
Who knew a pair of shoes could make me cry 😢
And only the houses watch the boy with their hollow eyes, as my grand uncle used to write.
Never forget.
I dont know why i watched this whole thing. It broke me every time. Twelve times in a row, it broke me. It didnt get easier at all.
Every time I see that scene, I cry over and over again…
That’s so sad imagine all the children losing their mums when they’re so young they can’t even tie their shoes
3:43 His mother is dead, and she’s worried about the butterfly 💀
I don't even have words to describe how I felt when I saw this scene. It just...hit me so hard I didn't even know what hit me. And yes, I cried.
Quentin Tarentino : I shoot lots of shots of women's feet to date my foot fetish.
Taiko _ I shot lots of shots of Scarlett's shoes so I can make my audience feel emotions.
This is why this film is so good to me. I remember it making me laugh hard to its jokes and then it pulls this out to fire the film back to reality. Its one of the only film where i cried and then burst out laughing at the exact same time because how they blend the comedy with tragedy. (specifically at the finale fight for context, not this bit... this is just heartbreaking_
I hope Taika Waititi can redeem himself with "Klara and the Sun"
Because he can do a much better job without Disney
If there was ever a set up and pay off. Right here. So effective 😢 I’ve watched the movie, and even right now “out of context”, it still hit the feels. I cried through this entire video. I just want to hug him and tell him it’s gonna be ok.
Butterflies represent a loved one that has passed away
Such a wacky and silly movie, but it sure picked its moment to get real.
This broke my heart when I saw it too.
that scene would get you all choked up first time seeing it... just not as choked up Scarlett Johansson.
Oh you monster 🤣 I like your style
i've seen this scene so many times, and it still makes me start to tear up. also take my angry upvote for that pun
Zing
Not to mention the emotional whiplash! It'll have you swinging back and forth like, uh... funny, I can't seem to think of a simile at the moment. 🤷♀️
Let me just emotionally ruin my day by watching this over and over again 😢😭
They showed WAY too many close up’s of her shoes, while dancing. Dead giveaway
But it isn't dumb actually, it tells us he takes the security of his mother for granted. Jojo is so young and impressionable, he can't even tie shoelaces yet. He takes for granted his mother will be there. We are shown her and her shoes over and over, he sees them every day. And yet, when we/Jojo find her hanging, despite all the warning signs and countless foreshadowing, we are as vulnerable and helpless as is he. He still can't tie the shoelaces, and his mother, who would always help, is now gone.
It's not done too much, it's done to convey this feeling of, even though we are told over and over a bad thing is coming, we are never truly ready for it. And in a way, it's saying to the audience, Jojo has more of an excuse than we do as adults, for taking it for granted and not seeing the signs, he is a little boy, we are not, the fact we are shocked too tells us anyone can be suckered in by propaganda and brainwashing.
It's super effective and clever.
Gave away that she was going to be hanged? There's no way you thought that because you saw her shoes.
@@wurstbrat. I’m sorry you couldn’t come to that conclusion.
whoever decided to run a home appliance store ad on this video really killed the mood 😑
3:53 they almost did the 🙊🙉🙈
This movie made me piss myself laughing and bawl my eyes out
One of the saddest and most shocking scenes I can remember
Good to see the murder whistle in one of these vids
This was the first time I saw Jen break like that
She even left the "wtf" in which is so out of character
I watched this movie twice and I cried both times.
Gut wrenching! 😢 great movie
Makes it even sadder that when Jojo tries to tie her shoes, he gives up like he's sorry that he can't even tie her shoe for her.
The amount of Evil that took place during the war is just...its horrible.
Out of context, that thumbnail makes it look like the kid strung someone up.
I felt like I called this scene early in the movie and was just waiting for it to happen. Partner was shocked and totally surprised though 😮 both thought it was a great movie 🎥🍿
Got me tearing up 2am man...
Yeah, this scene broke me.
How the same guy who made this also made Thor 4. It's ridiculous
Thanks ✨
Great Movie 💖
Best part of the movie
I love this movie so much
First dude obviously knew what was coming. Acting cool about "where's his mom?" Yeah sure.
That part shocked me when I saw it 😢
Such a good movie
Also such a great scene the way it is constructed and filmed
3:53 🙊🙉
Guys. I've been watching Nikki and Steven react for a long time. And I think that Steven prewatches things. It's been bugging me forever and I need to know if I'm alone in thinking this.
This scene is an emotional gut punch. 😪
Can you do a reactors thing to the movie "Disconnect". The hardest scene iykyk. The most hardest movie ive ever watched.
Hey guys.. you put a MASSIVE spoiler in the thumbnail of this video, where people cannot avoid seeing it if the algorithm happens to throw this suggestion in their face.
The movie has been out for more than 5 years, spoilers are fair game at this point, grow up...
It's not so much a spoiler if people don't know the context.
@@shadowdemon2272what does this have to do with growing up? And no spoilers always suck
@@mrsfahrenheit spoilers are valid for, if I'm being generous, up to 6 months after release? The movie has been out for 5 years; for the people who have bothered to see it already, they should have every right to discuss the movie and their feelings/thoughts about it freely with others to whom the movie means something. For the people who haven't seen it yet, the amount that will see it is fairly low now, and the amount of those people who will care about "spoilers" is even lower.
So no, I'm not going to "avoid spoiling" a movie for a miniscule, theoretical amount of people because some whiny children online can't grasp the concept of "other people exist outside of you and your bubble". The rest of us, will discuss a brilliant movie and shocking scene, like adults.
The thumbnail only makes sense if youve watched the movie so IDK what the fuck you're bitching about.
Such a powerful scene in a brilliant little film.
Greatness
I'm trying to translate the shoes, but google isn't much help. The best I can figure is it says "freed german jews -fought against the regime." I could be very wrong. What an awful time in history.....
i love suffering
Great acting for a movie that came out 5 years ago but this was posted 2 months ago.🤣There are other ways to get likes.
what movie is this
JoJo Rabbit
This is not Ora Ora
