One thing easy to miss in this movie is the scene when the Gestapo shows up to investigate the home. The reason they are there is because they just hanged his mother and they are looking for evidence of other people involved. Sam Rockwell's character also knows she's dead so he races to the house on the bicycle to save him which is why he was aware of enough of the situation to save Elsa and why he tells Elsa to look after her brother.

@dneill8493 Жыл бұрын

Yes I never saw it first time through. It was her bike he came to the house on. So he definitely knew before he got there. I'd like to say he's my favourite character but everyone does such a great job that each deserve the title in my mind.

@Bunny_Aoife Жыл бұрын

@@dneill8493 it was not her bike, her bike is a woman's bike (with a low frame), his is a man's bike (with a high frame), very different frames... also almost all else is different. This is a wrong fan theory, that has been debunked numerous times, and apparently, though i have not seen this interview myself, has also been called wrong by Waititi himself.

3 things: Yes, sadly that footage at the beginning was indeed real. Hitler developed a serious cult like following from roughly 30 some percent of the German population that honestly saw him exactly as Jojo does (like some sort of hero). Second: camps like that one Jojo went to were in fact not only real but common place. It was all part of the indoctrination process. And finally, and rather tragically. These camps were actually so effective that on D day when the allies stormed the beaches at Normandy many cleaned out trenches and bunkers only to find they had killed young kids who clung to their Hitler youth knifes like holy relics. You might remember when you watched saving private Ryan on of the characters took a knife off a dead German. . . . .it was a Hitler Youth knife. . . . . EDIT: something most people miss in this is Captain Ks uniform he made for himself. He covered it with upside down Pink triangles. The Nazis used these like the stars of David but for homosexuals. They killed Gays, just like cripples and Jews. Throughout we see K and Finkle having these moments. . . . Turns out its because they were gay men, who were proud German soliders. . . . .then Hitler came. So in the end we see them drop the facade. And embrace who they are. It was a cool touch

I'm a Media Studies teacher and this is one of the films we study. There are SO many layers to this film. The repeated symbolism and framing of Rosie's shoes, often at Jojo's eye level on left of screen that foreshadows the discovery of her death, making that awful reveal easier to portray on screen without having to show who it is or what has happened to her. The line "doing what they can" is used often to signify the fight against the Nazi oppression, a line that Jojo adopts for himself as he repeats his mirror-monologue, showing his complete character arc. The way they shot Elsa's introduction like a horror film. Even Cassie thought the film was turning into a horror! The butterflies, the tiger, the theme of love, the way that Hitler is represented as how an obsessed 10 year old would fanatise about him, with childlike mannerisms, etc. Repeat viewing is a must!

One of the most effective moments in one of the best movies I've ever seen. Same boat. My girlfriend's best friend clowned me mercilessly about it for months (in good fun. She was my buddy, too, by then, and was just messing with me. Really she thought it fine, and it was just an excuse to throw me a hard time.) It's so hard to describe because it is so skilfully and seamlessly all over the place. Dead serious and truly tragic. Inspiring, hilarious, irreverent, poignant, just plain silly. You'll get a kick out of child soldiers, become more sympathetic to and more abhorrently disgusted by the h--t in two wildy different ways. It is a freaking roller coaster of a film. I've taken, when trying to show it to others, to describing it as actually delivering on Wayne's World's joke tagline of, "You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll hurl." Just might be my favorite movie of all time, and I ain't even near 20 anymore.

Its unlikely that it was known that he was gay as I that case he wouldn't have been allowed to continue to serve and likely put into prison or camps. Him having pink triangles on his uniform is, imo part of a last act of defiance against the regime he was fighting for, in an unwinnable situation by coming out. Captain K strikes me as a soldier through and through, a patriot to his country, but left to fight for a regime that doesn't mesh with his ideals. A subtle part of that is his behaviour at the book burning, he has to go along with it, but unlike the others, isn't happy about it. He also may have been close to Jojos mother, maybe even both knowing each others mutual secrets and keeping them, including knowing Inge was dead but knowing Rosie was giving the girl shelter, so went along and aided the falsehood, to protect primarily Jojo but also Elsa, because of personal connections and loyalties but also kmowinf that he and Elsa are in the same boat, they both belong to groups fhe nazis were actively persecuting.

@B3RyL Жыл бұрын

@@RayvenQ K's and Rosie's relationship isn't explained in the movie, but they had to have been really close. I believe K knew Inge, and he also knew she was dead. The way he positioned himself to intercept the papers Elsa presented to the Gestapo was to shield her from further questioning. He also knew about Rosie's activities in the resistance and probably even that she was hiding a Jew, as evidenced by his final speech and the fact he rushed to Rosie's house after she was hanged. Rosie wouldn't have come out with it to someone she didn't know extremely well. They must have been close confidants, and that makes me think they were either related in some way (cousins?) or childhood friends.

I think it can be easy to forget that not every German during WWII was evil. This movie is a nice tribute to all those that "did what they could."

I feel that an entertaining part of this movie is the introduction scenes where Jojo is running through the streets and his enthusiasm for the day and for the Fuher. The song in the foreground, "Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand" is one of two Beatles songs released in Germany at the beginning of their career, at the height of Beatlemania. Playing "Deine Hand" during the newsreel of the crowd's adoration of Hitler was supposed to parallel the insanity of Hitler's popularity with the German people with the same hysteria of "Beatlemania". The way it plays out with Jojo running through the streets is also kind of a homage to the beginning of the Beatle's first movie, "A Hard Days Night".

I was genuinely blown away to find that the recording was the actual Beatles. It was apparently a thing that bands did at one point, and it was an entire new recording, not just a new vocal track. Such a weird thing to think about, and it was one of the last times any band made it a priority, I believe.

@60secthebaptist9 Жыл бұрын

The Beatles spent their first few years as a house band at a few clubs in Hamburg, Germany. They had what you would call a literal "residency" at the Indra club where they were given some beds in a storage room. they lived, ate, drank, took amphetamines, and played up to 5 shows a day at the club. Those two records were nostalgia for them but also fed a moderate fan base that existed from their time there. You can hear some of those Hamburg sessions that were recorded at the star club... Lots or raw music played a an amphetametic pace. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arCYfryord_TiYk.html

Something to note....As much as everyone loved the script when it was being shopped around. Nobody wanted to actually green light it! It wasn't til after Thor: Ragnarock was released that an exec. at Fox told Taika that they'd make it under 2 conditions... 1) they'd distribute it under their "low budget/indie label Fox Searchlight and 2) That Taika would have to play Hitler. He knew what he needed the most out of how the character was to be portrayed and the other reason was everyone they'd discussed playing the role turned it down because they were afraid that it would be damaging to their career. That's it. Everyone got paid scale....It was pretty much treated as a write off that made back around 5 times it's budget. This film should be used as a model that you don't need to dump a ton of money into something as long as you have a great script and a talented cast & crew.

I would argue that Jojo Rabbit is one of the best films ever made. It perfectly crafts a comedy around a touchy subject, and when you're not laughing your guts out, you're balling your eyes and reaching for tissues.

This movie is powerful proof that the era of Mel Brooks is far from over, and that the people who claim "you couldn't make (insert offensive comedy here) today," are entirely wrong. This movie doesn't shy away from any of its material, and still manages to still be both irreverent and mindful of its topic. Taika Waititi is the true successor to Mel Brooks.

Honestly one of ScarJo's best roles. She's the pivot the movie revolves around, who keeps it safely out of cartoon territory. Although yes, several of the other performances are great too. Thomasin McKenzie as Elsa is great. She has to play that character different ways at different times, and other than his mother's lessons, has to be the force that changes JoJo's perceptions. And the whole point of Sam Rockwell's character is to reinforce the absurd nature of that mentality. His cartoonish ridiculousness is a mask for someone capable of acting heroically, when given the chance.. The guy who played Hitler is actually the same person as the Director. 😁

I remember thinking they made an arthouse movie like Wes Anderson under the direction of Steven Spielberg filmed with the energy of Ridley Scott!
