A movie that takes you to another world!

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2020)

German nationalism, sense of racial-superiority, and profound hatred for jews, are the main themes around which the plot of the entire movie revolves. Jojo, a kid of some 7-8 years of age, is seen to be brought up in the German society where all of the above-stated characteristics are deeply inculcated into his mind and personality. He has been taught by the society that it is Adolf Hitler, who is the true saviour, flag-raiser and hero of the Germans. The kid was made to believe that, with Hitler by their side, they could triumph over even the strongest of the enemies. Jojo, being so much enchanted by the fuhrer's majesty and charismatic persona, had made the fuhrer his imaginary pal, who talks to jojo, discusses war with him, infuses in him the love for Germans and Hitler, while at the same time the hatred for the Jews.
Jojo's mother, scarlett Johansson, proved her praiseworthy acting-skills yet again. She has perfectly played the role of a genius mother who brings up her kid in a reasonable manner even in the absence of his father. She outwardly pretends to be an ardent proponent of Germany's machinations but, in reality she provides safe haven to a Jewish girl in her very home. She has been portrayed so much kind and humane that she doesn't hesitate to compromise even her own share of food, and gives it to the hapless Jewish girl. She refuses to turn a blind eye to her humanistic responsibilities even if it requires the sacrifice of her own life.
