"What did they do?" - "What they could". Best line ever. Hits hard with vigour. A brilliant comedy that often gets the laughter stuck in your throat. Great script and direction with a fantastic cast.

Taika Waititi won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for this movie. He was the first Indigenous person to do so. He said he got sick pleasure as both an Indigenous and Jewish man for not only playing Hitler, but writing him into the movie as a buffoon when Hitler wasn't even in the book.

I swear, you guys have the most consistent channel with the best film picks.

Those camps were real. My Opa and Uncles were forced to go. The boys were trained like a mini version of boot camp. There were also ones for the girls, where they learned how to be good wives and mothers. I suggest watching Valkyrie and Sophie Scholl.

Gestapo raids usually happened around 3-4 am. Usually they didn't knock or act so polite. They raided my opas place several times. The time that he was arrested they came for him @ 4 am. It's a long story but basically it was because he associated with Jews. The old lady down the street who made cookies for the kids in the neighborhood turned him in.

0:23 "Full Metal Jacket wasn't a comedy." -jyn "it wasn't?" -ryl never heard *that* before. 😆

@36:39 "I'm not crying... are you a teardrop expert?" made this whole reaction for me. This movie causes me eye problems every time.

Very sweet reaction by you two. A lot of Germans hid Jews in their homes back then. Taika Waititi (the guy who played Hitler) wrote, directed and produced this masterpiece and deserved to win Oscars. He got nominated in all three categories but lost. Your last segment is correct. The world is still a mess due to the stupidity of humanity.

One of the best films produced in the last 20 years. Absolute gem. ❤🐇

The quote at the end? That is what I will put on a note to each of our girls before they start high school…and again before they leave home. Rilke, what a thinker! We watched this movie as a family…I watched it first and then shared it. We have a 14 and 10 year old. They both loved it, and we also cried. Our 10 year old chose to watch it again when it was her turn to pick a movie.

29:07 "damn. wait, that's not his mom, right? wait, what? the shoes. it's his mom? please don't. what? what??" -jynxryl 😞

Jojo Rabbit was loosely based on the book Caging Skies. In the book Johannes was not likeable like the movie. In the book he treats Elsa like property, tells her Germany won, and imprisons her for 4 YEARS after the war is over! This movie is much nicer.

What we do in the Shadows 2014, Is a comedy by the same writer/director! funny movie.

I love this movie in every way. The lessons learned in it are massive and important.

36:43 "they're dancing? [sigh] 😢." -ryl awww... ☺️

As always you two knock it out of the park best channel by far

Ironically with the rabbit scene, Nazis were the first in Europe to make major environmental and animal cruelty laws. Hitler and many of the other top Nazi leaders were vegetarian and animal rights EXTREMISTS to say the least (animal rights, not so much human rights). Hitler listed Jewish "kosher slaughter" methods as one of his anti-Semitic motivations. Other top guy, Himmler even tried to ban hunting. They were so strict that some people found guilty of animal cruelty were sent right off to the concentration camps too. Another movie, "Look Who's Back", had a time-traveling Hitler shoot a puppy, just to remind the audience that he was the bad guy (duh). Kind of lazy writing / lack of research. Though in real life, Hitler DID poison his dogs right before he and Eva Braun killed themselves, afraid the Soviets would torture them or they'd get killed painfully by fire or whatever in the fighting to take over his bunker.

Children in Nazi Germany were indoctrinated at school to narc on their parents. Even children being less than enthusiastic about the propaganda was suspicious. So it makes sense that Jojo's mom wouldn't have told him anything. Even if Jojo didn't intentionally turn his mom in, he's 10 and could've easily slipped up.

This movie struck a chord with me. Enjoyed the reaction : ).

32:15 "... to convince so many people to follow him." -jyn indeed.

It's mind blowing that it was the kid's first acting role in a movie.

Hello Jyn & Ryl!😊 Some excellent performances here!🏆 Great reactions to this very well made and acted film, Ladies!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

It was amazing watching how this story slowly changed to a reality instead of all the junk the people were being fed. So many today still have no idea that this was for real. Johanson was the mom of the year. Best thing I have watched her do. The kids were amazing. One of my most favorite movies. Thanks.

You are both beautiful company to have during gems like this. I'm glad you're around. I hope... I can see you both doing 1982's Gandhi one day. If there ever was a time for peace and tolerance, this crazy time is as good as any.

The movie What’s up Viet Nam is similar. Starts as a comedy then turns serious.

one of my favorite movies. just so great.

The most beautiful tragic comedy I've seen. I love this film so much.

35:19 "damn." -jyn

"not actual German shepherds"

0:06 "the last war comedy I think I watched was... Tropic Thunder?" -jynxryl uh oh. 😬

VH ladies. Great movie, huh? Keep up the great work.

Yep, the gestapo came to their house because they already caught & hung his mom. That's also why Captain K (whoo!) rushed over there, to help Jojo, and why he told him to stay home, so that Jojo wouldn't find & see her... The pink triangle on Captain K's (whoo!) uniform was symbolic because that's what the Nazis used as a badge to identify & shame LGBT people, similar to the yellow star for Jews.

i was hoping you've react to this one!!

Virtual hug below! ❤

The Nazis are awful the entire movie but seeing it filtered through the innocence of youth we’re able to laugh through the first half. The more Jojo learns the awful truth for himself, the more reality starts to come in to focus. Kinda like when Neo takes the red pill and awakens from The Matrix. As always, you both are wonderful! Great reaction.

Thank you.

I cannot watch this movie with bawling my eyes out.

Btw Chucky is back and the new episodes been good

The gay Nazi soldier was bringing his mother's cycle home, and wasn't expecting the SS to get there first. He wanted to break the news to JoJo. He represents the Germans that didn't believe in cause but still had to serve their country.

Dear Ladies,many thanks for your first - class channel and your perfect,brilliant reactions! This movie (film) is amazing and marvellous. It is anti-war film and a humanistic message for everyone (my humble opinion).Warm greetings from the Central Europe (the Czech Republic).Have a nice,pleasant,enjoyable time and take care.

To give you some context on the things he believed about Jews and other groups. The Jugenvolk (the mandatory youth group he was in) they had classes were they were taught all sorts of ridiculous things about them, including that they have magical powers that were responsible for anything negative that happened

In the source material (Caging Skies), Inga suffered a diabetic coma and died. The book is in no way a comedy. While it is a good quality book, it is, in fact, a difficult read. Taika's mom had read it, and in trying to describe the story, she gave him a kernel of inspiration that became this masterpiece.

Hi Ladies! 😊 Have a beautiful night. Can't wait!!

Btw Chucky is back js watched episode 7 it's getting good

28:33 "this is not a comedy." -ryl

There are still people today who believe in HitIer’s ideologies & they’re working their way into positions of power. One, Judd Blevins, was recently removed from his seat on a city council after it was revealed he was a knot-sea & was in Charlottesville VA in 2017. That’s pretty disturbing. The writer has said that Jojo’s sister Inge passed away from the flu. Yes, Captian K & Freddie Finkle were a couple. The knot-sea’s were just as brutal to non straights as they were to non Christians. Captain K & Freddie Finkle were basically hiding in plain sight. When they realized they were they were probably not going to survive the final battle they decided to don the uniforms they designed, put on their make up & go out loud & proud. Captain K was holding Freddie’s cape when Jojo saw him with the rest of the prisoners. He had lost his love & was prepared to join him but still managed to save Jojo. He was a true hero just like Rosie. They both gave their lives to save their country & the children in their care.

I'm not gonna lie, the German Shepherds joke was really funny.

“Worse than ghost” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

STOP OFFERING ME DARN CIGARETTES! I’M 10!!

This should have won the Oscar.

Virtual hug! Love your channel, you both do a great job. Like you, I also don't understand how men like Hitler can become so powerful and control so many people through fear and tyranny. But it happens, even today. What is happening to the North Korean people is much the same. Their "beloved leader" Kim Jung Un is starving his nation to death and killing people for the most trivial of reasons. How the Kim family got into power I don't know but the impact they've had on N. Korea is horrifying.

Wait did they sensor octopus? 5:50

is this a reupload?

8:41 "the wrong person." -jyn 😆

I'm here

6:32 "😮" -ryl

Hitler didn't have any "mind powers" and what he did was only an extreme example of a behavior that has been replicated throughout human history, especially in the post-Industrial Age. After WWII, the U.S. government killed *millions upon millions* of Asians in Korea and Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia (where the U.S. helped Pol Pot come to power, resulting in yet another genocide). Dating to a time before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Trump's three immediate predecessors (Clinton, Bush Jr., and Obama) killed around *six million* Middle Eastern Muslims, the majority of whom were women and children. The sad reality is that holocausts and genocides happen all too frequently (including right now, as I type these words). It dishonors the victims of "The" Holocaust to pretend otherwise. Victims are victims, even when they're Asians or Middle Eastern Muslims. And the more we pretend what the Nazis did was some kind of aberration or anomaly, the more likely it is to keep on happening. Also, when you make the comments about Hitler's "followers" and "mind power," what you're seeing on the screen aren't his fanatics, but ordinary Germans -- like Captain K. and his lover, like the German shepherds -- simply defending their country (because that's what people tend to do when their nation is attacked, even when their nation is in the wrong). By protecting JoJo and "Inga," Captain K. subverted the Nazis, but he still felt it was his duty to defend his country.

You two seem to be grown enough for some danish movie now. You may start with *Adam's apples*.

Could you guys do a reaction to manchester by the sea?! Please!

This movie is so fun and amazing and terrible and heartbreaking

VH

Virtual hug 🤗🤗🤗🤗

28:30 "This is not a Comedy." Well, it largely was...and now....😢

This movie is mostly hilarious...until it suddenly isn't.

I am not sure why my comment was removed. If your goal is to alienate your subscribers and reduce the comments they thoughtfully make so the reactors have a better understanding of what they are watching, your are doing a bang up job.. Re post the comment..

Virtual hug ladies!

27:16 brilliant split-second hint at Captain K's feelings as he turns to hide the papers as Merchant walks to the Yoohoo Jew book Great reaction, picks up on a lot of things other people seem to miss somehow 👍 Also yes, Captain K is the best.

Lol, what did people tell you this movie was about? "Where's the jokes?" Not many, and they're at the beginning with imaginary Hitler

Yall are really bad at understanding the movie. They tell you thing clearly on the screen and you ignore it lmao

No, no, dear god no, Full Metal Jacket is not a comedy. This is a brilliant movie though, but still not really a comedy. The original film M*A*S*H is a comedy. Dr. Strangelove is a comedy. They both have serious moments. You have to go back to Abbott & Costello and the 3 Stooges to get a war comedy.

Basically they caught the mom being up to something, so they came to check out her house looking for clues or if she was hiding Jews. The captain most likely saw her bike without the mom by/on it and knew something was up, so he rushed to her house immediately (you see him bring the bike in the door). Just like her, he was a homosexual and would be most likely killed if they found out, so he was in the same boat going against the regime's mindset. He was unaware of the Jewish girl, you can tell when she introduces herself. I find it funny that the mom said she had never looked a tiger in the eye, but I disagree, she stood against the Nazi regime a metaphorical tiger.

An excellent movie, and the reaction was...meh, a lot of it seemed to go right over your heads.

Sending a real virtual hug as this is a tough but important watch (as evidenced by your thoughtful end commentary, you get it). 🫂

Captain K showed up at the house because he realized Jojos Mom was killed and the house was next. By saying he works for us he’s providing protection. Then he told him to stay home because he didn’t want JoJo to see his mother’s body.

First time seeing you ladies. This movie is an amazing feat. I do not think I would call it a comedy, but an amazing blend of genres. The Youth camps were real, the suicide of (s)Hitler was real. The director playing Hitler was an amazing touch, he was just the type of thing an imaginary hero would be. Thanks for doing this.

You two are always so perceptive and intelligent, picking up on small details and putting them together in context, it’s why I love your reactions but also for the sense of humor as well. So glad you did this one, it’s a great film. I have a suggestion for a film to react to, it’s from 1996 called Fly Away Home, one of my favorite movies as a kid. Thanks for the uploads and the work that goes into them!

When JoJo admitted he loved her and then said, "It's quite hot in here," Jyn cracked up, and that was a genuine reaction. In the midst of misery and meanness, starvation and cruelty, to have that brief second of levity, it held up love over hate. Jyn's laugh made the whole reaction worth it. It cast out craziness and replaced it with sanity. Well done.

The bike the Captain brings back to the house is Jojo's mom's bike. He brought it back when she was taken away.

Love the reaction! You should do Creepshow and Return Of The Living Dead

Thank you ❤ I love this movie.

The Treaty of Versailles Germany was forced to sign after WW1 created so much hardship for the German people. They became more willing to do things they normally would never consider just to survive. They would look the other way rather than get involved. The anti Jew rhetoric of Hitler gave a lot of the lower class a reason to join in and blame the Jews for the hardships they were enduring. That being said there were still a lot of people that resisted and lost their lives trying to do the right thing.
