A different perspective on war

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2020)

Jojo Rabbit is a movie that offers a complete different perspective on war. It is the finest example of satire in latest years, even if it mock tragic events it manages still to be respectful. Instead of showing a realistic view World War 2, with gruesome scenes, director Taika Waititi decided to take a colorful direction, with close to no explicit violence. Little by little becomes darker, showing the tragedy of the war and how much sufference this can bring.
Photography is amazing, I like when directors go unconventional, and for some aspects the style reminded me a lot "Grand Hotel Budapest" and "The King's Speech", two movies that I have loved. Cast made an excellent job, especially Roman Davis, that was always on point with his german accent. I really liked the Adolf Hitler parody, very few interpretations were able to make me sincerely laugh so much. It is a nice example of comedy and a lot of people in the cinematography world, should take note.
Beware, Jojo Rabbit might seem a colorful and funny movie, but it has really important and inspiring message. It made me think a lot about war and his injustices, Together with the italian movie "La Vita è Bella", are the most beautiful war movie ever made. A real gem, and it deserved every single prize that won.
