“Jojo Rabbit”: For the peace of tomorrow, today we look back at the past-children’s anti-war movie recommendation.
September 21st is World Peace Day. On September 7, 2001, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution, deciding to designate this day as the International Day of Peace starting in 2002.
The resolution mentioned: “After that, it was announced that the International Day of Peace should become a global day of ceasefire and non-violence, and all countries and peoples are invited to cease hostilities on this day.”
Perhaps there is still war in a certain corner of the earth today.
In the next second, some will lose their husbands, some will lose their children, and some will lose their fathers.
People use video to record what happened, for future generations to judge and learn from.
As the most vulnerable group in the war, children see the war as the purest.
Today, we look back on the past together through the perspective of children.
Look at the Nazi anti-war movie “Jojo Rabbit” from the perspective of children (Jojo).
“Jojo Rabbit” is still the cloak of comedy to hide the core of tragedy.
Perhaps it is somewhat inappropriate to use absurd and funny methods to narrate this heavy history.
But the director Taika Waititi has a good control over the weight of teasing and historical narrative.
The protagonist Jojo is a member of the Hitler Youth League, which conducts military training for male youths aged 13-18 to prepare for war.
Although he shouted Nazi slogans and wanted to prove his killing instinct all the time, he did not dare to attack a rabbit.
Over time, Jojo got the nickname JOJO RABBIT that belongs to the coward.
In Jojo’s inner world, there is always a Hitler in his fantasy to accompany him and encourage him (Hitler is played by the director).
Dramatically, Jojo accidentally found a Jewish girl hidden by her mother in the attic of his home.
After spending some time with the girl, he soon realized that the evils of the Jews promoted by the Nazi regime were all political manipulations.
The so-called “Nazism” is not a slogan or a game, it brings death.
What’s more interesting is that Jojo seems to have an ignorant affection for this Jewish girl.
Jojo’s mother in “Jojo Rabbit” also gave Jojo a lot of positive guidance.
As a mother, Rosie has always acted carefully, catering to the German Nazi Party in public, but behind the scenes is an anti-Nazi.
At home, she tried to use maternal love to change her son’s thoughts instilled by the Nazis.
This also adds a touch of maternal love to the original cruel war movie.
How does “Jojo Rabbit” express the transformation of Jojo’s inner world?
The answer fell on that fantasy Hitler.
Facing the reality of the collapse of the Nazi regime, his inner world was extremely torn apart. Jojo returned home.
Faced with the fantasy Hitler who was still chattering about him and dancing with his hands, Jojo chose to kick him out of the window with one foot-completely separated from the past.
If a child can completely deny his past.
In reality, how many adults are living in their own cages because they have too many concerns about their interests?
