OK, Simone, I recognize this video is over 4 months old. And I have left a very similar comment on a much more recent video of yours. It´s just that I haven´t seen Jojo Rabbit myself until today.... But anyway.... I just wanted to tell you, that I just LOVE your hair............... :-)
@11:32 , thats in fact incorrect , he didnt leave because of jessie owens , what actually happened was he was supposed to go and personally meet the winners , but when jessie won he was still going to meet jessie as if he was anyone else but his staff panicked and suggested meeting the winners might look bad if a jewish person won as a loosely veiled excuse to stop the jessie owens meeting going ahead , it was at that point no more winners would get the personal greeting regardless of who it was
Maybe he knew all along about Elsa but he didn’t tell anyone cause he respected Rosie, and when he told Jojo what would happen if someone was hiding a Jew, he was really using that to get him not to tell anyone about elsa if he knew, and when he came to Jojo’s house after rosies death he did it to not just help Jojo but to make sure they didn’t find Elsa
Thing is, Sam Rockwell's character, Kesseldorf, was a real person. He was a Nazi captain who grew disillusioned with the Nazi party, but felt trapped and as if he had nowhere else to go. You can kinda see it in his character through out the film, with a nice subtle one being that he is the only one not smiling when the kids are burning books. Instead, he sips from his flask with disgust.
@@CasualRonin Absolutely. I noticed that the second time I watched it. And the beauty of the scene is that it could easily be interpreted as him being miserable because of his demotion, but you watch it again, and you see all the layers going on. He turned in such a great performance in this movie. It breaks my heart. And his ending… it didn’t matter who won the war… he was dead either way, so he and Freddie just went out in a blaze of glory as they truly were.
Lost in this by many, as I've never seen a reactor mention it, is that Jo Jo knew how to tie shoes the whole time. He just loved when his mom did it for him. Emotionally powerful scene when he ties her shoes.
That scene really needs to come with a warning label. I swear when I saw it in the theater I couldn't breathe. So when they kind of caught on way too early about shoes being a theme I simply thought "Oh, you have no idea."
One of my favorite parts of this movie is the overly long "Heil Hitler" gag, which is funny... up until Elsa has to say it, and then it abruptly stops being funny. This movie is such a study in tonal whiplash.
When Sam Rockwell was looking at her papers he said "get a new photo, you look like a ghost in this one". I think that was a subtle hint that he knew the sister was dead.
In the book burning scene Rockwell is portrayed as a villain character, the way he scans what is going on. But after the movie you see that it was just a look of utter disgust.
@@loretogestoso6218 The entire reason he was there was because he knew his mom got caught, so he sped there to protect Jojo. That's also why he told him to stay at home, because he knew he'd see her ...
Just you guys know, Capt K and Finkel are gay lovers. Their costume at the end was away of going out "loud and proud". That's why they had pink triangles on them. The Nazi forced LGBTQ people to wear pink triangles. The movie implies that Rosie knew Captain K was gay, and that Captain K knew about Elsa hiding in the attic. Captain K and Finkel went to Rosie's house in order to bail out Jojo. You guys were correct that the Nazis found out about Rosie being anti-Nazi.

@@satwikpandey2404 When the Allies were rescuing Jews, Romani, etc from concentration camps, they didn't free people who were imprisoned for being LGBT+.
Yeah... the entire world was anti-gay at the time. Now, it's just 80% and trends point it going back that way long term as the west birth rates collapse. There are pluses and minuses to each scenario.
One of the most disturbing things I saw on a tour of several Concentration Camps was that the small plaque dedicated to those LGBTQ+ people who suffered in the camps was hidden in a corner, not even the other inmates of the camp would allow the LGBTQ+ who suffered WITH them to be included. That was, pretty f**ked up.
One little detail I love is: Jojo's imagined version of Hitler keep offering him smokes and eating meat; Hitler hated smoking and was a vegetarian, a subtle way to show this is just the subconscious of a boy who doesn’t know the real Hitler at all and is just projecting his need for a father figure.
I think it's great how at the start Jojo sees imaginary Hitler as this cool, goofy, fun guy, but as he gets more and more disillusioned with Nazism, the closer imaginary Hitler starts to resemble the real Hitler. He begins to see him for who he really is, a small, angry, bitter and irrational man.
You might say this later, but Taika is also both Jewish and Māori hence his indigenous entre films, and also his feeling of capability to take on characters and topics this difficult
Taika said he couldn't think of a better screw you to Hitler than to have a Jewish person play him. Also, the kid JoJo, this was his first role. He said Taika always made sure to be as nice as possible when wearing the outfit so he didn't scare him. But there was one day on set when they were doing the far away shots outside with JoJo and his mom and then Hitler spying on them in disgust...he got really frustrated that day and began to yell a bit. The kid said it was really trippy.
It is funny how Hitler, in this movie, keeps offering Jojo cigarettes, because real Hitler absolutely hated them, and smoking in his presence was strikingly forbidden.
@@dgrmn12345 I perceived it as the film trying to show you that Jojo doesn’t actually know anything about Hitler and wanted to further prove that jojo just wants to be able to fit in somewhere and have an idol.
I think in one of the interviews Taika said that he purposefully didn't portrait Hitler accurately, because Hitler doesn't deserve someone making effort to do so.
A satire for the ages. Taika's take on such a delicate subject is outstanding, and teachable at the same time. Jojo Rabbit -I said to draw where Jews live. This is just a stupid picture of my head. Elsa -Yeah, that where we live.
As allies under the Tripartite Pact, the Japanese were deemed honorary Aryans by Nazi Germany. Peoples of some other allied (to the Axis) nations were also deemed honorary Aryans.
@@slinkyboo-boo He was buddy, learn some history first and then talk. Germany back then was the first country ever to have animal rights, seriously learn some history stop being ignorant.
Another goal that was achieved by Waititi was to make a movie with Hitler that could not be admired by neo nazies. For ex. American History X, while clearly written as a warning to fascist ideologies, is still admired by extremists. Jojo is pretty much universally hated by them which is just... chef kiss.
They couldn't have gotten a better actor for jojo but Yorkie just steals every scene he comes out in with his dileveries; just perfect. My favorite line from him "it seems like I can never die... but I'm gonna see mother, I need a cuddle." Lol
Captain K (Sam Rockwell) and his "friend" Finkle, who misunderstood what he meant by German Shepherds, were absolutely romantically involved. The pink triangles on their specially designed uniforms were how the Nazis identified gay (bisexual, lesbian, trans, queer, etc.) people, and including that detail in the uniforms was meant to subtly display their pride and their love. (It was also a subtle "eff you" to the Nazi regime.)
Sam Rockwell definitely knew his sister had died. When he ask for her papers and she gives him the wrong date, he said correct and then told her “get a new photo, you look like a ghost in this one.” Most people miss that. And don’t worry about shedding a tear at that horrible scene when we realize… you know. I’m a big ole dude and I had the exact same reaction. I still tear up every time I see it. Everyone who was cast in this movie did an amazing job. Taika simply knocked it out of the park. #TeamYorkey
That "Oh yeah, we should go, remember we left that guy hanging up" from Merchant was not just a joke -- it's part of that scene foreshadowing what happened to Jojo's mother. You'll also notice that Sam Rockwell enters that scene carrying her bicycle. The line is there because the entire scene presented the Gestapo as kind of silly, and that line is the reminder that no matter how bumbling they seem to be, they were also state-sanctioned murderers who had no moral qualms about casually killing people. To me, it's a big thematic moment in the movie relative to the current world political climate.
@@M1cha3lP I view it through the lense of how the left broadly views the Trump administration - shockingly incompetent and still incredibly dangerous to society at large. Our introduction to the SS in the film happens far into Jojo's deradicalization, but it's the radicalization existing at all that allows them to get away with it. I find that this movie has a lot to say about the path to radicalization which, while not directly targeted at Trump, can be neatly laid over his political career. The clearest example, to me, is Jojo's imaginary friend, an idealized version of Hitler who does the things that Jojo thinks a heroic leader would do. He smokes (Hitler detested smoking), he eats a roasted unicorn (Hitler was a vegetarian by doctor's order, something which the government used for PR and would have been relatively common knowledge when the movie takes place)... Jojo's version of Hitler is utterly divorced from the man himself. This is remarkably on-the-nose when considering the religious right's infatuation with (and sometimes literal deification of) Donald Trump. A man who has spent much of his very public life bragging about his many vices has become to many an ideal symbol of Christian piety in America. Nothing anyone, including Trump, says or does can shake that faith. Similarly, the only reason Jojo begins to doubt his faith in Hitler is that he suffers an injury that places him outside of the in-group. Where he would be distracted learning aquatic combat, now he has time to ask questions, and some of the answers he finds ("you tell us, we tell the ss, they go kill the jew. And anybody who knew about the jew. And probably a few other people as well") make him question the moral authority he had previously accepted. Obviously, this film is intended to tell a personal story and make fascists look goofy, but that goofiness is mirrored by reality.
@@explody7836 "A man who has spent much of his very public life bragging about his many vices has become to many an ideal symbol of Christian piety in America. Nothing anyone, including Trump, says or does can shake that faith." Well said, and well compared to JoJo's naive worship of Hitler.
@@explody7836You need to keep some help for your Trump detachment symptoms. The fact that you would even make the comparison is lot only disgusting to real victims but it also shows how dishonest of a person you are. Especially considering the fact that young girls who speak out against having a trans student (who still have male parts) in the locker room (who stares at them while they change) is uncomfortable for them. Yet they are the ones who are punished. The right wing wasn’t the one who punished those girls, it was those who believed in the left. And I still wouldn’t compare any of its members to Hitler. You truly are a horrible person who’s blinded by hate.
32:07 the best comedies make you feel sorrow with your laughter to better show the spectrum of human emotion. This movie does an incredible job of blurring the lines and making you laugh at things that aren’t necessarily funny. And then will hit you with the tragedy to bring you back down to the reality of just how horrible this all is. Brilliant writing and filmmaking!
Both of your reactions to Rosie's death was so amazingly raw and real and made me cry all over again. The slow realization turned to sobbing, as it was meant to be viewed.
Thank you for reviewing this. It’s among my favourite movies. Just a thought about Steven Merchant. I feel that line about leaving a guy hanging up was to bring us back to the reality of who the Gestapo really were. While we were finding them comical it’s important to remember that there was nothing comical about them. Great review you two .
@@craigplatel813 exactly, thank you, I'm tired of correcting this particular rumour... it's also got a different general frame, his is a "man's bike" her's a "woman's bike" with a lower frame... also I believe that waitiki has denied that rumour as true, it's just his own bike... also I don't understand why he would even bother to bring her bike, to highlight that he knows them to the gestapo guys? A really weird but persistent fan theory, easily checked by just comparing the bikes, they are not even similar, quick google search does it
The reason because the capitain went to Jojo's house was because he saw the mother dead. He took her bycicle and went to the house to help jojo and the girl, but the gestapo was already there. Also, I think the captain died happy, not only because he saved Jojo, but also because he would be again with his lover (the other guy that was always with him)
The Heiling scene is just wonderful writing. It turns something serious (the Heiling) into something hilarious and silly, and just a couple of minutes later, the very same thing back in to serious and one of the most tense scenes in the movie.
That moment when you realize Captain K turned up during the Heil Hitler scene because he knew the SS were searching the house immediately after they had killed his mum. He'd sealed his fate from that moment he came through the door.
So, this actually won best adapted screenplay, which I think is so deserved, because this script really did such a hard thing to do so well. I still think the actor playing Jojo should've been nominated for best actor. It's truly the best child performance I've ever seen.
Fun Fact: They not so subtly kept focusing on her shoes so that way when we see them sway later in the film we know who it is! And also she says they did what they could when talking about those hanged in the town center and later when she’s referring to herself in the third person as the father!
If you liked this, you should watch "The Death of Stalin"---another relatively recent pitch-black comedy, this one about the machinations and power struggles between the members of the Soviet central committee after, well, the death of Stalin.
such an underrated film, the performances are so great. It also delves that line of ridiculous then just brutal the next. Satire mocks, good satire makes the viewer uncomfortable- that's why it's so important to have films that challenge us, but also entertain, because they impact individuals so deeply. Art is life, life is art as they say
I don't use this word often for films, but this film is brilliant, just brilliant. It moves from Python-esque silliness to Anne Frank dread and back effortlessly.
That scene makes my cry ever time. Taika is an incredible storyteller. Please watch BOY / Hunt for the Wilderpeople / Eagle VS Shark if you haven’t already. He always finds this balance between comedy and drama.
"This was supposed to be a comedy...." One of the key faults with the marketing campaign, I think. People went into the theater expecting slapstick and they got dropped into an emotional Cuisinart.
Taika said his characterization of hitler was meant make him a target of ridicule because of the ridiculousness and absurdity. It strips the real person of dignity and power in the perfect way.
Something else that made jokes about it was the old sitcom Hogan's Heroes, which took place in a German POW camp. My stepfather who fought in the war loved that show.
Almost all of the actors portraying the recurring German characters were Jewish. The actor who played Lebeau was a concentration camp survivor. Werner Kemper (Colonel Klink) said he would walk if any of Klink's plans succeeded. Consider the show aired only 20 years after the end of WW II.
I love when the gestapo dude says "Wait... what is this?", Captain K hands the document to him with an absolute look of defeat and fear, because he knows the date is wrong and he just lied to the gestapo, but of course he doesn't take them 'cause he is too focused in the book.
I never noticed that on my own watch throughs. I'm glad there are these reaction channels that can help me see and understand things in movies that I might miss
I feel like him finding his mom is meant to bring things back to reality, like pointing out that they are not trying to make light of the horrors just because they are making a dark comedy.
There have been two movie theater experiences I have had where an audience member could not control crying out the word, "NO!" The first was in Avengers: Infinity War when they showed what happened to Groot and the second was Jojo standing up after playing with the butterfly. It is one of the most visceral punches to the gut any movie can offer.
Gut wrenching is right. I never thought I'd cry so much when Captain K died and JoJo heard that sound of machine guns fire . The look of horror on that poor kids face . The grief for his mother and then Captain K was over taken by shock and terror.
Every time I watch this movie, I'm still amazed by how it was able to to be heart-warming, heart-wrenching, hilarious, sad all at the same time and do it superbly. Great movie.
I love how the whole tone of this movie reflects Jojo's outlook on life. At the beginning everything is bright and fun, and funny because it's all seen through his eyes. When he gets closer to Elsa he starts to question what his whole world has been telling him until now. Then when his mother dies, he understands the grim reality of the war around him. The film is excellent because it's a coming-of-age film from his point of view. It's also a satire and criticism of Nazism, and humanising of ALL people who were suppressed or fighting against the regime - including within Germany. It's a genuis film and one that I hope will be remembered as a great classic of our era.
the mother of jojo's actor cried when she saw him in his final hitler youth costume, you can understand why, no one wants to imagine what could have been, or what might be if we forget history.
In this film, Roman Griffin Davis (Jojo) gave one of the best child performances I have ever seen. Maybe even top 5. The whole cast is brilliant but pretty much the whole film is on his shoulders and he pulled it off beautifully. This film has one the the saddest scenes I've ever seen in a film (the butterfly/shoe reveal) and yet at the same time is, I think, one of the best and funniest comedies of the last decade. That's not easy to do but Taika Waititi did it. And ending with dancing to the German version of David Bowie's song Heroes (which was written about Berlin and recorded in Berlin) is absolute perfection.
The foreshadowing that always gets me is Jojo asking what the hanged people did, and Rosie saying “What they could”. Later, Jojo’s “dad” tells him “Take care of my Rosie, she’s doing what she can.”
Few writer/directors can make you both laugh out loud and ugly cry so beautifully as Taika Waititi. Check out his film "The Hunt for the Wilder People" as well.
This may be one of my favorite films ever. Top ten I think. And well said about what a dangerous tightrope Waititi had to walk in writing it. It’s an impressive achievement on every level.
Jojo discovering his mother hanged in the square still hits like a sledgehammer to the chest every time I see it. It leaves me desperate for Yorki's next scene to make me laugh again. Rosie was a wonderful character. A good person. An 'actual' good person.
Every time they say how wonderful Rosie is, with growing fondness each time just shows how important it is to build up love in the audience for these characters that meet their untimely end. That is how you deliver a cinematic gut-punch.
Yes me too! The butterflies in the tummy for love. The butterfly innocence of youth surrounded by armed men with panzerfausts and then the transition to the shoes, which had been carefully foreshadowed..... remarkable film making
I avoided this movie for a long time because, judging by the title, I assumed it was a movie for kids. I was so wrong. What a brilliant and entertaining movie. Your reaction made it even better. 🤗
I've watched a few different reactions to this movie (which is one of my favorites), and I think you're the first I've seen who have remarked on the clones. I love that the clones remain completely unexplained, or even acknowledged. Also, they're played by Roman Griffin Davis' brothers (twins, Gilby and Hardy).
This movie is great, so funny and lighthearted.... The novel messed me up royaly... it's very very different... actually the movie is like half of the novel... (The novel is called Caging Skies in case you are curious)
Hitler keeps offering him cigarettes but in reality he hated smoking and wouldn't let anybody smoke around him. Jojo probably just assumes all adults smoke.
Just watched this reaction, a couple of years late. Doesn't matter. This is still a ten out of ten movie - brings tears to my eyes every time. We can be heros, even if for only one day. In German no less.
This movie is based on a book Taika's mother gave him when he was younger. And, he decided to play Hitler, since he didn't want to ask anyone else to do it...and thought, how appropriate for a Jewish man to play him in that way.
If you want to see another comedy/drama movie about WW2, I highly recommend Roberto Benigni's 3-time Oscar winner La vita è bella (Life Is Beautiful) from 1997.
Such a great movie. I don't cry often in these times (living in modern Russia in cryworthy enough), but some scenes here made my eyes totally wet. But still, while I'm no tankie or a fan of the USSR in any way (and especially not a fan of Stalin's totalitarian regime), it seems not fair that when allies shoot the wehrmacht captives, it have to be the soviets, and when the sign of hope emerges in the end, it has to be the american flag (and no other allied flags). Surely the Red Army wasn't about puppies and rainbows when it entered Germany, but I really dislike seeing this kind of its representation. My great-grandfather despised Stalin's regime, but his life turned that way that he was killed on April 4, 1943, as a captain of an engineering troops company west of Stalingrad. I wonder what he would like or dislike in this movie. My grandfather, his son, was also shedding tears when he watched this. Again, despite any criticism, such a fantastic piece of art. My comment edits are for typos alone. I'm not that great at fluent english unfourtunately.
I understand your concern about the Russians executing their captives as depicted, but it is historical fact that in the real war the Russian soldiers were out for revenge for all the terrible massacres and other atrocities the Germans had carried out on the Russian people, so when they captured German territory they felt justified in taking that revenge. Knowing this, the German soldiers at the end of the war tried to surrender to the Americans or British etc. if they could. None of this is pleasant, but it is what happened. I'm sorry your great-grandfather had to die defending his homeland against one enemy, while under a regime he also despised - a tragic no-win situation.
@@phillipridgway8317 I won't argue with most of your points, but war crimes on german soil were committed by every allied force (Red army is responsible for most of them, no doubt, but not overwhelmingly). It's the stereotypical symbolism that bothers me here. I'm often called americanophile, and I get it, post-soviet countries are not the main market for this movie, but a brief acknowlegement of the fact that the Red Army wasn't (or at least not in the whole) some bloodthirsty band that kills positive characters for being retired wehrmacht officers would've been nice from this movie. Russian movies are no better in this sense (but backwards) anyway, I assure you.
Such a truly fantastic film, it's rare a film manages to be a properly funny comedy while also tugging the heartstrings and forcing tears from you. Taika made a masterpiece with this one, so many great performances from all actors and actresses!
As funny as they made it the “Heil Hitler” scenes aren’t actually jokes but an instance of cultural accuracy, as that phrase was the official greeting in Germany in the last years of the war.
Don't know if anyone else commented on this, but the clones reference early in the movie is a nod to the film "The Boys from Brazil" about a Nazi who makes clones of Hitler.
Taika Waititi who directed this movie and won an Oscar, is from New Zealand 🇳🇿. His choice of cast members was brilliant. His role as Adolph Hitler is outstanding
14:0420:45 you guys are really clever, you got the foreshadowing 100% I already knew what would happen because of internet spoilers but I would never would have payed attention to those details without the hindsight

@@dgrmn12345 I perceived it as the film trying to show you that Jojo doesn’t actually know anything about Hitler and wanted to further prove that jojo just wants to be able to fit in somewhere and have an idol.
i always thought it was a part of jojo that knew that hitler was harmful to him in some way, metaphorically like
I think the tobacco industry missed a trick. "You know who else hated smoking? HITLER!"
I think in one of the interviews Taika said that he purposefully didn't portrait Hitler accurately, because Hitler doesn't deserve someone making effort to do so.
A satire for the ages. Taika's take on such a delicate subject is outstanding, and teachable at the same time.
Jojo Rabbit -I said to draw where Jews live. This is just a stupid picture of my head.
Elsa -Yeah, that where we live.
Rent free, bitch!
My favourite line is “Our only allies are the Japanese and between you and me they don’t look very Aryan”
As allies under the Tripartite Pact, the Japanese were deemed honorary Aryans by Nazi Germany. Peoples of some other allied (to the Axis) nations were also deemed honorary Aryans.
the fact that Hitler was vegetarian and non-smoking proves that the boy didn't really know what Hitler was like.
he wasn't vegetarian.
@@slinkyboo-boo he was. don’t know for how long but he was
@@zhalo_9388 5 minutes .
@@slinkyboo-boo He was buddy, learn some history first and then talk. Germany back then was the first country ever to have animal rights, seriously learn some history stop being ignorant.
@@stanmarsh4566 there are records from his chef... he ate meat.
Another goal that was achieved by Waititi was to make a movie with Hitler that could not be admired by neo nazies. For ex. American History X, while clearly written as a warning to fascist ideologies, is still admired by extremists. Jojo is pretty much universally hated by them which is just... chef kiss.
The way they go from "what a nice butterfly" to "wait what the fuck" in a few seconds is priceless.
Rosie's death was just so unexpected.
The slow but pronounced change in their facial expression when it dawned on them was worth the price of admission.
They couldn't have gotten a better actor for jojo but Yorkie just steals every scene he comes out in with his dileveries; just perfect. My favorite line from him "it seems like I can never die... but I'm gonna see mother, I need a cuddle." Lol
Captain K (Sam Rockwell) and his "friend" Finkle, who misunderstood what he meant by German Shepherds, were absolutely romantically involved. The pink triangles on their specially designed uniforms were how the Nazis identified gay (bisexual, lesbian, trans, queer, etc.) people, and including that detail in the uniforms was meant to subtly display their pride and their love. (It was also a subtle "eff you" to the Nazi regime.)
What's with all the shoe shots...
Knowing what is coming it brought tears to my eyes.
One of the best setup / payoff of this decade
Taika is a genius. Reluctantly watched this a year after release and it floored me. In my top ten all time. Thanks for posting this one.
In order for it to be funded they said they would only do it if he played Hitler.
Sam Rockwell definitely knew his sister had died. When he ask for her papers and she gives him the wrong date, he said correct and then told her “get a new photo, you look like a ghost in this one.” Most people miss that.
And don’t worry about shedding a tear at that horrible scene when we realize… you know. I’m a big ole dude and I had the exact same reaction. I still tear up every time I see it. Everyone who was cast in this movie did an amazing job. Taika simply knocked it out of the park. #TeamYorkey
K also looks terrified when he thinks Merchant is asking to see the papers too.
That "Oh yeah, we should go, remember we left that guy hanging up" from Merchant was not just a joke -- it's part of that scene foreshadowing what happened to Jojo's mother. You'll also notice that Sam Rockwell enters that scene carrying her bicycle. The line is there because the entire scene presented the Gestapo as kind of silly, and that line is the reminder that no matter how bumbling they seem to be, they were also state-sanctioned murderers who had no moral qualms about casually killing people. To me, it's a big thematic moment in the movie relative to the current world political climate.
How is it relative to the current world political climate? Genuinely interested in your thoughts. I teach Media Studies and this is one of our films.
@@M1cha3lP I view it through the lense of how the left broadly views the Trump administration - shockingly incompetent and still incredibly dangerous to society at large. Our introduction to the SS in the film happens far into Jojo's deradicalization, but it's the radicalization existing at all that allows them to get away with it.
I find that this movie has a lot to say about the path to radicalization which, while not directly targeted at Trump, can be neatly laid over his political career.
The clearest example, to me, is Jojo's imaginary friend, an idealized version of Hitler who does the things that Jojo thinks a heroic leader would do. He smokes (Hitler detested smoking), he eats a roasted unicorn (Hitler was a vegetarian by doctor's order, something which the government used for PR and would have been relatively common knowledge when the movie takes place)... Jojo's version of Hitler is utterly divorced from the man himself. This is remarkably on-the-nose when considering the religious right's infatuation with (and sometimes literal deification of) Donald Trump. A man who has spent much of his very public life bragging about his many vices has become to many an ideal symbol of Christian piety in America. Nothing anyone, including Trump, says or does can shake that faith. Similarly, the only reason Jojo begins to doubt his faith in Hitler is that he suffers an injury that places him outside of the in-group. Where he would be distracted learning aquatic combat, now he has time to ask questions, and some of the answers he finds ("you tell us, we tell the ss, they go kill the jew. And anybody who knew about the jew. And probably a few other people as well") make him question the moral authority he had previously accepted.
Obviously, this film is intended to tell a personal story and make fascists look goofy, but that goofiness is mirrored by reality.
@@explody7836 "A man who has spent much of his very public life bragging about his many vices has become to many an ideal symbol of Christian piety in America. Nothing anyone, including Trump, says or does can shake that faith."
Well said, and well compared to JoJo's naive worship of Hitler.
@@explody7836You need to keep some help for your Trump detachment symptoms. The fact that you would even make the comparison is lot only disgusting to real victims but it also shows how dishonest of a person you are. Especially considering the fact that young girls who speak out against having a trans student (who still have male parts) in the locker room (who stares at them while they change) is uncomfortable for them. Yet they are the ones who are punished. The right wing wasn’t the one who punished those girls, it was those who believed in the left. And I still wouldn’t compare any of its members to Hitler. You truly are a horrible person who’s blinded by hate.
@@shayla106 lol sure
I love how "Hitler" acts the way a little boy might imagine him to act.
“Take care of my Rosie, she’s doing what she can.”
Such a heartbreaking moment of foreshadowing.
It was only on my second viewing that I noticed that that was what she said about her hanged comrades.
If was only when I read this comment that I noticed it
And what JoJo says to himself at the end
32:07 the best comedies make you feel sorrow with your laughter to better show the spectrum of human emotion. This movie does an incredible job of blurring the lines and making you laugh at things that aren’t necessarily funny. And then will hit you with the tragedy to bring you back down to the reality of just how horrible this all is. Brilliant writing and filmmaking!
I want to see the two kids in this movie play younger versions of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
Or Nick Frost and Simon Pegg can be in the sequel 😆
Such a brilliant idea!!!
Yaaaaassss
Both of your reactions to Rosie's death was so amazingly raw and real and made me cry all over again. The slow realization turned to sobbing, as it was meant to be viewed.
Thank you for reviewing this. It’s among my favourite movies. Just a thought about Steven Merchant. I feel that line about leaving a guy hanging up was to bring us back to the reality of who the Gestapo really were. While we were finding them comical it’s important to remember that there was nothing comical about them. Great review you two .
When Captain Klenzendorf (Sam Rockwell) comes to the house he has the mother's bike. He was trying to warn Jojo ahead of time.
No it's not. Doesn't have the basket and different color.
@@craigplatel813 exactly, thank you, I'm tired of correcting this particular rumour... it's also got a different general frame, his is a "man's bike" her's a "woman's bike" with a lower frame... also I believe that waitiki has denied that rumour as true, it's just his own bike... also I don't understand why he would even bother to bring her bike, to highlight that he knows them to the gestapo guys? A really weird but persistent fan theory, easily checked by just comparing the bikes, they are not even similar, quick google search does it
The reason because the capitain went to Jojo's house was because he saw the mother dead. He took her bycicle and went to the house to help jojo and the girl, but the gestapo was already there.
Also, I think the captain died happy, not only because he saved Jojo, but also because he would be again with his lover (the other guy that was always with him)
The Heiling scene is just wonderful writing. It turns something serious (the Heiling) into something hilarious and silly, and just a couple of minutes later, the very same thing back in to serious and one of the most tense scenes in the movie.
33:40 "Oh good for you Jojo a girlfriend." Yorkie is so funny and cool
Everybody needs their personal Yorkie.
And everybody needs to be somebody's Yorkie.
The three young leads in this movie are destined for great things in the future.
That moment when you realize Captain K turned up during the Heil Hitler scene because he knew the SS were searching the house immediately after they had killed his mum. He'd sealed his fate from that moment he came through the door.
So, this actually won best adapted screenplay, which I think is so deserved, because this script really did such a hard thing to do so well. I still think the actor playing Jojo should've been nominated for best actor. It's truly the best child performance I've ever seen.
25:43 SS uniforms were manufactured by Hugo Boss, not designed by them.
that doesn't make him less of guilty person who profited with the war. Also, he used forced labour to make them.
@@felix-the-mongoose Never said he wasn’t guilty.
Fun Fact: They not so subtly kept focusing on her shoes so that way when we see them sway later in the film we know who it is! And also she says they did what they could when talking about those hanged in the town center and later when she’s referring to herself in the third person as the father!
If you liked this, you should watch "The Death of Stalin"---another relatively recent pitch-black comedy, this one about the machinations and power struggles between the members of the Soviet central committee after, well, the death of Stalin.
such an underrated film, the performances are so great. It also delves that line of ridiculous then just brutal the next. Satire mocks, good satire makes the viewer uncomfortable- that's why it's so important to have films that challenge us, but also entertain, because they impact individuals so deeply. Art is life, life is art as they say
Both movies should be watched together
I don't use this word often for films, but this film is brilliant, just brilliant. It moves from Python-esque silliness to Anne Frank dread and back effortlessly.
That scene makes my cry ever time.
Taika is an incredible storyteller. Please watch BOY / Hunt for the Wilderpeople / Eagle VS Shark if you haven’t already. He always finds this balance between comedy and drama.
BOY was filmed in my birthplace. It's a quintessentially Aotearoan piece of cinema.
I saw Jojo Rabbit in the cinema when it came out and when that scene came on I swear you coul hear a pin drop, it was such an unexpected gut punch
"This was supposed to be a comedy...."
One of the key faults with the marketing campaign, I think. People went into the theater expecting slapstick and they got dropped into an emotional Cuisinart.
Is it REALLY a fault? I believe it was done intentionally. It definitely makes a greater impact if you’re just expecting a comedy.
yeah i think it was intentional@@Parallax-3D
Taika said his characterization of hitler was meant make him a target of ridicule because of the ridiculousness and absurdity. It strips the real person of dignity and power in the perfect way.
Something else that made jokes about it was the old sitcom Hogan's Heroes, which took place in a German POW camp. My stepfather who fought in the war loved that show.
Almost all of the actors portraying the recurring German characters were Jewish. The actor who played Lebeau was a concentration camp survivor.
Werner Kemper (Colonel Klink) said he would walk if any of Klink's plans succeeded.
Consider the show aired only 20 years after the end of WW II.
I love when the gestapo dude says "Wait... what is this?", Captain K hands the document to him with an absolute look of defeat and fear, because he knows the date is wrong and he just lied to the gestapo, but of course he doesn't take them 'cause he is too focused in the book.
When Captain K inspects Inge’s papers, he tells Elsa, “Get a new picture. You look like a ghost.” He obviously knew the real Inge was dead.
I never noticed that on my own watch throughs. I'm glad there are these reaction channels that can help me see and understand things in movies that I might miss
I feel like him finding his mom is meant to bring things back to reality, like pointing out that they are not trying to make light of the horrors just because they are making a dark comedy.
"that reminds me, we have to get back - cause' remember we left that guy hanging up?" I feel that. Casual torture conversation.
There have been two movie theater experiences I have had where an audience member could not control crying out the word, "NO!" The first was in Avengers: Infinity War when they showed what happened to Groot and the second was Jojo standing up after playing with the butterfly.
It is one of the most visceral punches to the gut any movie can offer.
Gut wrenching is right. I never thought I'd cry so much when Captain K died and JoJo heard that sound of machine guns fire . The look of horror on that poor kids face . The grief for his mother and then Captain K was over taken by shock and terror.
When Captain K inspects Inge’s papers, he tells Elsa, “Get a new picture. You look like a ghost.” He obviously knew the real Inge was dead.
Every time I watch this movie, I'm still amazed by how it was able to to be heart-warming, heart-wrenching, hilarious, sad all at the same time and do it superbly. Great movie.
I love how the whole tone of this movie reflects Jojo's outlook on life. At the beginning everything is bright and fun, and funny because it's all seen through his eyes. When he gets closer to Elsa he starts to question what his whole world has been telling him until now. Then when his mother dies, he understands the grim reality of the war around him. The film is excellent because it's a coming-of-age film from his point of view. It's also a satire and criticism of Nazism, and humanising of ALL people who were suppressed or fighting against the regime - including within Germany. It's a genuis film and one that I hope will be remembered as a great classic of our era.
Best line ever.... " I want to go home and cuddle."
33:39 was the funniest and cutest line delivery in the film. Yorkie is the best thing to happen in this movie
I loved Yorkies reaction when that missile accidentally went off . Everyone looked horrified and he just said " Oh gawd"
the mother of jojo's actor cried when she saw him in his final hitler youth costume, you can understand why, no one wants to imagine what could have been, or what might be if we forget history.
In this film, Roman Griffin Davis (Jojo) gave one of the best child performances I have ever seen. Maybe even top 5. The whole cast is brilliant but pretty much the whole film is on his shoulders and he pulled it off beautifully. This film has one the the saddest scenes I've ever seen in a film (the butterfly/shoe reveal) and yet at the same time is, I think, one of the best and funniest comedies of the last decade. That's not easy to do but Taika Waititi did it. And ending with dancing to the German version of David Bowie's song Heroes (which was written about Berlin and recorded in Berlin) is absolute perfection.
The dinner scene will always be one of the best. Scarjo is truly a heavy-hitter.
"it's supposed to be a comedy" @ 32:08 was a classic reaction.
The foreshadowing that always gets me is Jojo asking what the hanged people did, and Rosie saying “What they could”. Later, Jojo’s “dad” tells him “Take care of my Rosie, she’s doing what she can.”
Few writer/directors can make you both laugh out loud and ugly cry so beautifully as Taika Waititi. Check out his film "The Hunt for the Wilder People" as well.
This may be one of my favorite films ever. Top ten I think. And well said about what a dangerous tightrope Waititi had to walk in writing it. It’s an impressive achievement on every level.
Speaking of comedic WWII movies, I hope you get to react someday to Life Is Beautiful (1997) by Roberto Benigni.
I mention that film on a lot of reactor's comments. Its such a great one.
Jojo discovering his mother hanged in the square still hits like a sledgehammer to the chest every time I see it. It leaves me desperate for Yorki's next scene to make me laugh again. Rosie was a wonderful character. A good person. An 'actual' good person.
Every time they say how wonderful Rosie is, with growing fondness each time just shows how important it is to build up love in the audience for these characters that meet their untimely end. That is how you deliver a cinematic gut-punch.
Yes me too! The butterflies in the tummy for love. The butterfly innocence of youth surrounded by armed men with panzerfausts and then the transition to the shoes, which had been carefully foreshadowed.....
remarkable film making
Actually Hugo Boss did NOT design the old uniforms, his company just manufactured it.
Two SS members designed it, K. Diebitsch and W. Heck.
This movie shocked me so much. I went in expecting a silly movie and it was so much more than that. I absolutely loved it.
"What did they do?"
"What they could."
honestly the reveal of rosies death hit so so hard and makes sense for the shoe focus building up to it
I avoided this movie for a long time because, judging by the title, I assumed it was a movie for kids. I was so wrong. What a brilliant and entertaining movie. Your reaction made it even better. 🤗
Roman Griffin Davis, who played Jojo, was excellent in a British film called 'Silent Night' (Directed by his mother and featuring his brother)
This movie is the definition of satire. I love it.
I've watched a few different reactions to this movie (which is one of my favorites), and I think you're the first I've seen who have remarked on the clones. I love that the clones remain completely unexplained, or even acknowledged. Also, they're played by Roman Griffin Davis' brothers (twins, Gilby and Hardy).
It is not only a great movie, but it is also one of the better depictions of life when everything was collapsing in 1945
Best role and performance for Scarlett Johansson.
And, I hope Waititi watches this, just for George's face.
This movie is great, so funny and lighthearted.... The novel messed me up royaly... it's very very different... actually the movie is like half of the novel... (The novel is called Caging Skies in case you are curious)
She wasn't messing around when she seemed upset. If I lived under the threat of dying everyday...I think I would be very emotional.
Hitler keeps offering him cigarettes but in reality he hated smoking and wouldn't let anybody smoke around him. Jojo probably just assumes all adults smoke.
He was also eating meat Hitler was vegan it shows how little Jojo knew.
@@Crazyguy_123MC I don't think he was vegan, he's said generally to have been vegetarian
Great observation.
Just watched this reaction, a couple of years late. Doesn't matter. This is still a ten out of ten movie - brings tears to my eyes every time. We can be heros, even if for only one day. In German no less.
Man that scene when he finds his mom hanging is just crushing isnt it
Incredibly insightful reaction! My Mama spent the her childhood in Hanover post war. So personal! Thanks.
This movie is based on a book Taika's mother gave him when he was younger. And, he decided to play Hitler, since he didn't want to ask anyone else to do it...and thought, how appropriate for a Jewish man to play him in that way.
"What's with all the shoe shots?"
Me: Heh
It’s like when someone says “nothing better happen to this dog” when watching John Wick.
If you want to see another comedy/drama movie about WW2, I highly recommend Roberto Benigni's 3-time Oscar winner La vita è bella (Life Is Beautiful) from 1997.
The shoes might be a contrasting reference to the mountains of shoes during the Holocaust.
"What's with all the shoe shots?"
Me: Ohhh you don't wanna know :(
Such a great movie. I don't cry often in these times (living in modern Russia in cryworthy enough), but some scenes here made my eyes totally wet.
But still, while I'm no tankie or a fan of the USSR in any way (and especially not a fan of Stalin's totalitarian regime), it seems not fair that when allies shoot the wehrmacht captives, it have to be the soviets, and when the sign of hope emerges in the end, it has to be the american flag (and no other allied flags). Surely the Red Army wasn't about puppies and rainbows when it entered Germany, but I really dislike seeing this kind of its representation.
My great-grandfather despised Stalin's regime, but his life turned that way that he was killed on April 4, 1943, as a captain of an engineering troops company west of Stalingrad. I wonder what he would like or dislike in this movie. My grandfather, his son, was also shedding tears when he watched this.
Again, despite any criticism, such a fantastic piece of art.
My comment edits are for typos alone. I'm not that great at fluent english unfourtunately.
I understand your concern about the Russians executing their captives as depicted, but it is historical fact that in the real war the Russian soldiers were out for revenge for all the terrible massacres and other atrocities the Germans had carried out on the Russian people, so when they captured German territory they felt justified in taking that revenge. Knowing this, the German soldiers at the end of the war tried to surrender to the Americans or British etc. if they could. None of this is pleasant, but it is what happened. I'm sorry your great-grandfather had to die defending his homeland against one enemy, while under a regime he also despised - a tragic no-win situation.
@@phillipridgway8317 I won't argue with most of your points, but war crimes on german soil were committed by every allied force (Red army is responsible for most of them, no doubt, but not overwhelmingly). It's the stereotypical symbolism that bothers me here. I'm often called americanophile, and I get it, post-soviet countries are not the main market for this movie, but a brief acknowlegement of the fact that the Red Army wasn't (or at least not in the whole) some bloodthirsty band that kills positive characters for being retired wehrmacht officers would've been nice from this movie.
Russian movies are no better in this sense (but backwards) anyway, I assure you.
that quote at the end really moved me to tears when I first watched this.
Watch "What we do in the shadows" by the same director
That kid Yogi that played him he wears the glasses in real life
Such a truly fantastic film, it's rare a film manages to be a properly funny comedy while also tugging the heartstrings and forcing tears from you. Taika made a masterpiece with this one, so many great performances from all actors and actresses!
The clones are a reference to "the boys from brazil"......good movie... Remember it seeing it while rather young...was a experience 😅
I knew it was something from my youth....the first reference made me feel "I know what this means but it's in the back of my brain"....then it clicked
Still Remember the dobbermans😅
As funny as they made it the “Heil Hitler” scenes aren’t actually jokes but an instance of cultural accuracy, as that phrase was the official greeting in Germany in the last years of the war.
Don't know if anyone else commented on this, but the clones reference early in the movie is a nod to the film "The Boys from Brazil" about a Nazi who makes clones of Hitler.
Taika Waititi who directed this movie and won an Oscar, is from New Zealand 🇳🇿. His choice of cast members was brilliant. His role as Adolph Hitler is outstanding
He’s also Jewish. His real name is Taika David Cohen.
Did you know none of the uniforms were designed by Hugo Boss. Hugo boss merely produced the uniforms but they were designed by men within the SS.
Not that it excuses anything, but the company has paid reparations and has various programs to help immigrants in Germany
amazing reaction. AMAZING MOVIE. def one of the best movies of 2019. definitely deserved the oscar win
Thanks for that movie digest. Your reactions brought home to me what people must have gone through, in reality, during that horrific time.
So many brilliant comedic moments in such a heavy subject made it great. Like the German Shepherds.
Captain K rode in on Rozie's bike a lot noticed he was going to warn Jojo or bring him to a safe place but they miss that he brought her bike in.
14:04 20:45 you guys are really clever, you got the foreshadowing 100%
I already knew what would happen because of internet spoilers but I would never would have payed attention to those details without the hindsight
I swear to god before Jojo showed his scar I was like "I bet they're gonna say 'Oh that's not so bad.'" Great video!
“What’s with all the shoe shots?” 😶
