Jojo Rabbit (5 out of 5 stars).
Jojo Rabbit is a comedy drama film that goes over a dark serious event of WWII but with a little Taika Waititi's script and direction of humor, and charm. This film delivers. It is a lot of fun, has some quirky humor, a great cast, and a plot about a serious and dark issue but with a little heart in it. This kind of film is not going to be for everyone. It is what it is with this kind of movie. Audiences may have trouble connecting to the main character Jojo, a kid who is trying to be a Nazi. He is raised different, sees the world in a blind eye. But it is also a coming of age kind of story being caught in the world of conflict. It is one of those plots were it is best to see for yourself than read about it cause it does not sound appealing especially over the issue with the kid trying to be a nazi.
The plot follows Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis) a young boy in Germany. His father is absent cause he is sent out in the war. And he lost his sister to some sickness. While his mother Rosie (Scarlett Johansson) is caring and sweet. Jojo is sent out to a boys camp for Hitler's youth training. Led by Captain Klenzendorf (Sam Rockwell), and his assistants Fraulen (Rebel Wilson) and Finkel (Alfie Allen). When an accident sends Jojo home. Jojo finds out his mother has been hiding a teenage jewish girl Elsa (Thomasin McKenzie). Jojo afraid and hesitant on living with this girl. He tries to aid in keeping her hidden.
The plot is great. It is a coming of age story during WWII. And being raised to follow a Hitler's laws. Jojo's world is turned upside down when he sees that his mother is part of the resistance and helping a young girl hide in their home. Jojo was stuck in believing the horrible rumors on what he thought the Jews are. While learning from Elsa that her and him are not so different.
The cast ensemble is great. Roman Griffin Davis and Thomasin McKenzie are great with the lead roles. They are sweet and delivered fun roles. Taika Waititi plays Adolf Hitler as a imagination that talks to Jojo. Jojo has an imaginary friend that is Hitler that tries to keep him company. Taika Waititi's performance humor is a lot of fun to watch. Rebel Wilson, Alfie Allen, Sam Rockwell, and Scarlett Johansson are all great with their performances.
The film's script and direction is a lot of fun. The characters are fun. The humor is entertaining. And the story is charming and goes over a serious dark time about loss and friendships.
Overall, Jojo Rabbit is a great film. It is entertaining. Fun. And charming with its story. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
