In the book, we see how hatred changes people, and why it’s bad. The movie takes more of an Adam and Eve-esque approach to its themes, showing how people can be led to follow the wrong morals, to be led astray. In this case, Hitler serves as the serpent and the people (like Jojo) serve as Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit. EDIT: I'll be honest, didn't read the book. I just watched the movie. The book doesn't sound very interesting to me.

If I can make an argument in favor of it, let me say this. What dictators and hateful people like Hitler want is to be feared, and that fear is what keeps people in line. The opposite of fear and respect, is mockery. If you're mocking and making fun of something or somebody, it means you have no respect for it and you arent afraid of it. Think about how much less scary horror movies get if you're making jokes about them the whole time, that's a perfect example. So I would argue its downright necessary to be able to laugh at Hitler because that takes away the power people like him have. Also bear in mind when the movie makes jokes about this subject, it's never at the expense of Jews or the allies, its ALWAYS at Hitler's and the nazi's expense. Hitler in the kid's mind not only works the way this video describes it but the film itself constantly portrays him as goofy incompetent and cowardly. I personally would argue this movie does exactly what it sets out to do and does it really, really well.

I adored this movie. It was an utterly joyous romp with enough heartbreak and tension to keep it from being disrespectful. Sam Rockwell as Captain K really stole the show, although all of the performances were perfect.

I am am avid believer in reductio ad absurdum when dealing with racism. For anyone who doesn't understand, consider the following: You have a belief. It's controversial, but you stand by it, it's part of you very being. Now you go to a friend, and you think they might have that same belief, or at the very least that you can sway them to your side. So, you tell them your belief. And they laugh in your face. There is nothing more defeating than that feeling, and I want every bigot to feel it. Their power comes from hate and fear. In a way fighting them makes them stronger. Every time a nazi is portrayed seriously in a film, they rally behind them, but there isn't a nazi in the world that likes "Springtime for Hitler". Fight hate with humor, make the bigots realize just how much of a joke they are.

@easy eevee An argument as to why being "racist" to white people isn't actually racist so much as prejudiced is because there is an existing power system in which white people have all the power. If you define racism as an institutional struggle, then yeah, you can't be racist against white people because they aren't going to suffer from the same institutional struggle because they have the power. So, this then changes the argument; though to answer the original question, I would laugh at anyone being racist who isn't in some kind of right to be; for example, if an African American/black individual were to make a racist jab at white people, well they very much have the right to feel a certain way because of the amount of years they were institutionally discriminated against. It doesn't make it a better action, but you also can't say those in power aren't somewhat deserving of it. And this institution isn't dead; it's just gotten quieter.

@@carrots7216 Considering the fact you're speaking of institutionalised racism may I ask, does the modern South African government for the last 20 odd years escape you? The events of Zimbabwe? Here I'll break it down for you, white people are not being segregated officially but unofficially they are not socially welcome within places like townships, it's very hostile, officially there are laws in place that distinctly discriminate against white people that dramatically lower the chances of being able to get into a working position even if more qualified due to a "checklist" of sorts, black people are the first to be accepted, then indian, then coloured, then white (bottom of the list) meaning in fact if I applied to 20 jobs (which I have done) if any of the above applied with even half of my qualifications they would take priority, and considering these laws have been implemented since 2003 that is enough time for people born after the "new south Africa" to be wrongly subject to this bias. It is not a "right" to be able to perform hate against someone, it's called hypocrisy and you perpetuate it yourself, would you not call institutionalized racism being a system targeting a group of people to have their property taken from them even if they own it themselves after paying it off? After having bought it after these laws take place? Would you not call formal and informal bias against a group of people for a span of 20+ years, enough for an entire generation for those who weren't even involved to be racism? It is. And on this topic moreso, why are there no attacks against Islamic countries when the Islamic slave trade was such an event that occurred over a longer period on Africans? To say that it's someone's "right" to be a hypocrite, to attack someone else for the very reason they said they were never going to be shows a level of being guilt tripped to take it because of "the past" well the past is done, maybe people should stop being so damn petty about the hardships they didn't even experience and realize "oh shit we are perpetrating exactly what we hate" but that takes self awareness not present. Also racism isn't based on institutional systems, the definition is the following throughout various dictionaries:"prejudice, discrimination or antagonism of another's race based on the belief ones own race is superior/ based on a hatred for another race" so no, by ther very definition they CAN be racist.

@@stealthbrawler A few points to consider: 1) Africa was colonized by white folk and colonization has had its ill effects on various countries that led to racist ideals. 2) I understand your point in not perpetrating the same actions that caused racism institutionally in the first place. And I'm not saying that racism isn't the same as any kind of discrimination, but what I _am_ saying is that more and more people are realizing that, even if for example, black people were racist towards white people, it would certainly not have the same effects as if it were the other way around. 3) If you're looking at it from an anthropology perspective, there are actually studies that pretty much cover the fact that racism over the years and the stress of it can create genetic health issues; the psychological states of familial generations does pass down (i.e. the psychology of a child whose parents lived through war will be different than one's who didn't, and not only by parenting alone). For example, you stating that people are "being petty about hardships they didn't even experience" may very well be completely wrong. Experience and fear is passed down through experience; they are _still_ experiencing hardship. TL;DR, it may feel extremely easy to just sweep it all under the rug and say, "Do no harm" about it, but in actuality we've been doing that for years in the US, and the uncomfort you are feeling is in fact our country finally facing it for, perhaps really the first time. But then again, glossing over the wrongdoings of history is kind of a European specialty, and the American apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, so correct me if I'm wrong.

I really liked this movie, and when I watched it a second time I noticed the symbolism of seeing Jojo’s mother’s shoes and such at eye level with JoJo until at one point she’s hanging and not standing. I thought it was a really clever way to portray her death and it oddly made it hit a lot harder that way.

"My face looks like a goddamn street map woman" one of my favourite Jojo lines

When I was younger, people in my life got me to feel less scared by laughing at things that scared me. through my teen years, the only way I was ever able to feel ok about the declining state of my mental heath was to laugh. I got supper into comedy and even started writing funny short stories. When my dad first introduced me to Taika, I wouldn't say I was hooked, but once I saw Jojo Rabbit, I really began to understand what he was trying to do. The world sucks. It's always going to suck and life is always going to be hard, but that doesn't mean we can stop dancing and laughing and loving. in fact, we shouldn't stop dancing or laughing or loving in everything that happens, because that's the only way we can accept how broken the world really is. The only way to really fight true evil like hate is to laugh at it and fight it with our own two hands. things don't settle into place and eventually we get better. In reality, we have to be responsible for telling ourselves life is always worth living. so all that being said, I think that while the book is based on the movie, the themes of the book are how hate leads you down a dark isolating hole, while the movie says that love can pull you out of that hole. (basically the same theme in the other detection) And I think I want the one that's going to make me laugh and smile.

Ben Garcia You’re probably the same dude that thinks Batman V Superman is a masterpiece

The only director that I am confident enough to remake 'Akira'.

I get that you can’t talk about this within the frame of the series concept, but you didn’t really even touch upon the possible reasons that the film obscures or changes so much of the book. This is particularly clear in your reference to the ending scene merely as a “feel good ending” for children about the good of humanity, because it’s the ending scene which best exemplifies the director’s intention with the film’s plot. The scene plays a Bowie song and involves Jojo absurdly having gained blue denim jeans and a James Dean attitude/comportment. The point of the scene and the reference to Bowie and the triumph of American culture is to refer to the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the reintegration of East Germany. It’s not a simple “feel good ending” but a narratively complex superimposition that simultaneously destroys and reorients the sense of the plot upon which it works.

This was a fantastic movie, such a great cast as well!

To me personally, this film is more of a landmark in how we are finally being more open about our past but using dark humour to present it, up to this point most films depicting hitler or nazis, are usually serious war flicks or darker takes on the same time period like for example the remake of “inglorious basterds” by Tarantino. I love this, whilst I don’t overly rate the film itself, it’s still something that would’ve been heavily frowned upon in the years before.

And the thing is, bringing the Nazis a comical tone actually denounces their ways and actions. Yes, they were inhumane and awful in real life. However, if they’re only seen as this huge, undefeatable threat, then it actually gives some of the power back to the Nazi party. Those who still support these hateful ideas have a chance to jump behind the villains and be like ‘Yeah, we’re this powerful’. Meanwhile, the comical tone makes them look childish and stupid, which they were.It reminds us that these awful people were at the end of the day… just awful people. They weren’t supernatural, they weren’t immortal, just assholes. We absolutely need both. The Nazi party was full of horrible people, who committed some of the darkest acts in mankind, and everyone needs to know and remember that. However, it is also good to tarnish them as these stupid children who wanna look tough.

Nothing chilled me more than the dinner scene where you listen to Jojo telling his mother how much better nazi's are than everyone else. It was chilling to hear a child talk like that. Best movie I've seen this year,

So Caging Skies is Jojo Rabbit with little to no elements that made Jojo Rabbit good? Ok.

I am glad, there is a LOT of difference.

I've read the book and watched the film and I think this is one of the rare occasions where the film is actually beter.

I absolutely loved this movie. It was laugh out loud funny but then would unexpectedly deliver an emotional gut punch. I think the Nazi's would have particularly hated being laughed at. Good job Taika!

I’m glad you covered this film, it’s hilariously funny and surprisingly moving in parts. Also the German cover of heroes at the end was absolute gold!

I really loved this movie.

I convinced my mom to come to the theatre and watch the movie with me, and she fell in love with it. For next few weeks I caught her watching clips of the movie on youtube

I got to go see this movie the day before release. At the end, there was an Q&A with Taika. People did ask the questions that you answered and one person seemed mad. But your answers were his answers. Afterwards I met him and (since i'm a teen) he asked me for my honest opinion because "My goal is to create a movie to get people in your age group to want to learn about the holocaust."-Taika Waititi. You did an amazing job covering these questions. Bravo.

In a way, you could argue he isn't lying when he says "we did" in the movie. I haven't seen the film yet, so maybe there's something directly debunking this, but It could be viewed as a disassociation from the Nazis, so that the Nazi's losing means he and Eliza are the "winners" as non-nazis.

It was nice to see it from the perspective of a child raised in nazi culture. he see’s hitler as his friend and a good man who is a hero to his country (until later in the film of course) which is probably very realistic. i just love this movie cause it gives you plenty to laugh about and at the same time opens your eyes a bit to see nazi germany in a bit of a different light.

Why is everyone having a go at the book? It's a perfect representation of what's wrong with Nazism. Sure, the movie was good, but not everything needs to be a "feel good" to be great. Is Shakespeare bad because it doesn't have feel good endings? Face it, most Nazis didn't just stop being Nazis, and neither does Johannes in the book. The movie is fine, but I don't know why people have such a problem with how the author accurately portrays Nazis. I personally loved the book and thought it was very deep and impactful. One of the greatest of this century so far in my opinion and I wouldn't be surprised if it turned into a classic.

I think everyone is having "a go at the book" bc not everything that is realistic makes a good story that sells to the masses. A realistic take on the horror of hate is intended to horrify the viewer. However keeping that intensity of horror that comes with the indoctrination of children into Nazism is draining on the viewer. It's like why some movies you only have to watch once to have an impact, ie Schindler's List, Apocalypse Now, 12 Years A Slave or Requiem of a Dream. Those are all films that show the genuine horror of humanity but they don't leave the viewer with an inherently positive outlook on humanity. Often times satire works as social commentary bc it is easier to use escapism and humor to make a point that is more digestible to the laypeople. I think Jojo Rabbit works as such. However, that does not diminish the actual book and how it is told. But the audience for the book and the movie are different. What appeals to a reader may not appeal to a movie-goer thus the disparaging remarks. Based on the summary give in this video and my own preferences towards fantasy and scifi, I am not likely to pick it up because it feels like it would be too much for me to handle. The content would be too real and upsetting for me to deal with.

@@crazydragy4233 that is an interesting point and I agree. A lot of the time I've regularly seen Nazism be considered the worst and most evil thing ever, but there are plenty of horrors outside of the Holocaust that are almost identical. That level of cruelty isn't only allotted to Nazi Germany. Like when I saw the graphic accounts and photographs of the Invasion of Nanking in the lates 20s, at that time, it was the most horrific thing I'd ever seen. There is almost a commonplace sense of evil when people talk about the crimes against humanity committed by the Nazis. Like people have been overexposed to the events and don't have the same reaction to other events. Instead of being genuine portrayals of evil, many depictions of Nazis outside of real life events don't have the same visceral reaction from an audience as other fictional retellings of real events may elicit. It doesn't horrify because we think it is in the past due to the oversaturation. It became mundane. Which in itself is a frightening thought. I think there is still a place for fictional stories under the setting but the inherent visceral sense of fear is much harder to achieve due to the overexposure to similar settings.

After the movie, I started to read Caging Skies, and let me tell you this: Johannes is a really unlikeable character. I'm not saying it ruins the story, but it does make everything he does after his mum and dad die really twisted. I'm currently halfway through, and he really sounds like a hypocrite for hating the French controlling his part of Austria, while taking over Elsa's life in order to get her to love him.
