@@MichalZismanReactions Sorry for such a stupid and offensive comment. I was actually thinking how beautiful you are the whole time I was watching the video. You have a very interesting, intelligent and soulful face. And gorgeous eyes. This movie is one of my favorites. I was curious how you - a Jewish woman - would react to this film, because it is a very sensitive topic (my colleague at school is also Jewish, but she is not able to see any film with this topic, it is too painful for her). But you managed it with insight and humor. God bless you. Greetings from Prague

What a bizarre comment

[@jaypee9575]

The part where the captain saves Jojo by pretending he's a Jew always gets me choked up.

[@michaelhoward142]

I believe belittling and pointing out the stupidity of horrible people/things can be a healthy way of dealing with them. This movie did an amazing job of making fun of a truly terrible time in history while still not ignoring how tragic it was. Thank you for sharing your reaction, dear lady. 🤗

[@vloplob]

This movie is not belitteling anything, it shows the situation out of the eyes of a child. It shows the reality of how growing up in that time would have been. You can´t expect a child to grasp the whole situation.

This movie, goofy as it was, hit me as hard emotionally as many more serious films do. I cried just watching you react to it. Taika did a magnificent job with a difficult subject.

[@michaelschroeck2254]

One detail i liked about this movie was showing how JoJo didnt even know the man he was idolizing. His imaginary Hitler offered him a cigarette. The real man was against smoking. Same with alcohol and meat.

[@swissguy8052]

Hi Michal, thank you very much for reacting to this movie. I think it's heavy underrated. Taika and the whole crew have made a fantastic job. Such a heavy topic but somehow they mastered it to show us this very dark chapter in history in a light and intelligent way. The viewpoint from an over years indoctrinated child... just priceless. All the actors top notch.. Everyone should see that movie and learn how to prevent falling for extreme radical ideologies.

[@MichalZismanReactions]

It takes great talent to take a dark horrendous subject and make it funny!

[@SvenGold]

I' am german and i love this movie. I think its absolutely brilliant cause it shows the absurdity of fashism / dictators by making fun of it without making fun of all the victims!. I rememer first time watching it, i was kinda "shocked" in the beginning cause of all the nazi-symbols and gestures. Here in good old germany we've got a very good culture of remembering the crimes that happend in nazi-germany. The symbols like the "Hakenkreuz" and the hand-gesture "Hitler-Gruß" are legally forbidden here and almost every german today thinks it is weird, that it is not forbidden in other countries!. (To everyone who thinks "thats against the freedom of spech!!!1111", go f... yourself!) Anyways.... Great Movie, great reaction!.

[@adz_b]

Thank you for reacting to this, genius writing / acting that can make you laugh & cry within seconds 😂😢😍👍🇬🇧

[@JoePlett]

Thank you for bending your rules and watching this. I have NO idea how Taika Waititi got the green light to get this made, but I'm so thankful he did. This movie has SO much heart, and yet it doesn't entirely turn away from the horror. The next best thing to seeing it the first time is to get to watch others experience it for the first time. Thanks for posting this. If you're looking for something COMPLETELY different as a 'palate cleanser' that still mixes humour & poignancy, might I humbly suggest Pleasantville with Tobey McGuire, Reese Witherspoon, Joan Allen, Jeff Daniels & William H. Macy.

[@MichalZismanReactions]

I saw Pleasantville numerous times. It's lovely 😊

[@chrisgorman1652]

I think we can thank his first Thor movie - showed his talent was bankable - although he already had success in New Zealand with quite a few local movies.

[@MarkMcLT]

Reportedly one condition of getting the go ahead to make this is he was told that he had to be the one to play Hitler.

[@agffans5725]

Imaginary Hitler is eating a Unicorn head and also constantly trying to make Jojo smoke cigarettes'. In reality Hitler was an anti-smoking vegetarian, which I'm sure Taika Waititi knew when he was making the imaginary figure that is not suppose to be the real Hitler, but just the figure of imagination of a 10-yo boy. Taika Waititi is part Jewish himself, just as Scarlett Johansson has a Danish father and an American mother of Polish-Jewish ancestry, so she has dual Danish-American citizenship. The Polish-Jewish side of her family really suffered horribly during the war, while the Danish Jews never even wore an identification mark (like the yellow star), unlike in the rest of occupied Europe, and eventually the Danes also saved all their Jews from the extermination camps in a joint effort by hiding and shipping almost all of the Danish Jews to neutral Sweden, though in the end 464 Jews, who did not manage to escape in time were captured by the Germans and sent to the Theresienstadt Ghetto and concentration camp, but even then, representatives from the Danish government managed to persuade the Germans to accept packages of food and medicine to be sent to all the Danish prisoners, also persuading the Germans not to deport any Danish Jews to extermination camps. In February 1944, now knowing that the war was practically lost, the German SS embarked on a propaganda "beautification" campaign to prepare the Theresienstadt ghetto for the visit from the Danish Red Cross and a delegation from the Danish government. Many "prominent" prisoners and all the Danish Jews were re-housed in private, superior quarters. The streets were renamed and cleaned; sham shops and a school were set up and the SS also encouraged the prisoners to perform an increasing number of cultural activities. Still, a total of 51 mainly elderly Danish Jews got sick and died of disease or old age at Theresienstadt, but non of them went to the extermination camps and so thankfully almost all of Denmark's Jewish population survived.

[@Niinsa62]

There's a 1987 movie, Hope and Glory, that also shows the war from a kid's eyes. That one is in Britain, during the Blitz. But it is not a war movie, it is a growing up movie. The war just happens to be around, as the kids grow up. As the air alarm goes off, and the kids are supposed to run to the air raid shelters, they stay outside and argue. "They are Einkels!" "No, they are Messershits!" Very cute! But a bit different from this one. Actually, there's another coming of age movie that also reminds me of this one, and that one is Son of Rambow. Two kids back in the 80's who are making a remake of Rambo First Blood in the backyard, with a VHS camcorder, and the help of their friends. But they don't have any friends, to start with. Oh, the friendship story...

[@fionnagrant6636]

For me this movie was a timely reminder that people from anywhere can be brutal, and that we all want to belong so we are all vulnerable to group think and propaganda. It is so important to care for people who are vulnerable and on the edges of society.

[@fionnagrant6636]

I love that none of the armies were painted as heroic saviours, purer than the driven snow. War makes us all brutal and desperate. The fact that after two world wars, the battles continue is exhausting and heart breaking. I was only a kid in the 1980s, but with the fall of the Berlin wall etc I grew up hoping that world peace was possible.

[@BigGator5]

"Nothing makes sense anymore." "Yeah, I know, definitely not a good time to be a Nazi." Fun Fact: Mel Brooks praised the film in his speech at the AFI awards in January 2020: "I just saw Jojo Rabbit (2019), and it's really a terrific and eloquent and beautiful picture." Lost In Adaptation Fact: The film is based on Christine Leunens's novel Caging Skies (2008), a book that Waititi's mom loved before turning him onto it as well. "Imaginary Hitler" is an added element, although the rest of the story's main characters are. Historical Fact: Despite not being a full-on war movie, all of the German equipment seen, both carried and vehicles, are genuine German gear. No mocked-up non-German vehicles are used ever during the film. Taika Waititi discovered in his research that WWII Germany was very vibrant and fashionable, and was interested in shying away from traditional war films showing it as dreary and dark, instead presenting the town as a seemingly celebratory place and dressing characters as stylishly as possible. He liked the idea that everything seems happy, but just underneath the surface "the third Reich is crumbling, and, you know, the dream is over."

14:54 Hitler was a big fan of Karl May's Winnetou books. These are Wild West stories about a fictional chief of the Mescalero Apaches. That was probably an reference to it.

[@rollotomassi6232]

Seeing your face during this movie going through the complete emotional spectrum from funny to deeply saddening I could tell you really felt what the movie intended the audience to feel. Such a well developed movie and a unique way of presenting this horrible time in history; through the mind of a indoctrinated 10 year old Deutsches Jungvolk.

[@IDLERACER]

😎👍 You know that any movie taking place in 1945 that begins with The Beatles singing in German circa 1964 and ends with David Bowie singing in German circa 1977 is going to be filled with a lot of satire in between. If you enjoyed this, then two other movies that you obviously also will enjoy are both the original "To Be Or Not to Be" from 1942 and Mel Brooks' remake of it from 1983. Both films essentially exist for the purpose of making fun of Nazis, the first one while their monstrosities were daily news and the second one with hindsight.

[@rx7dude2006]

This movie is in my top 10 movies of all time!Don't listen to any ratings period, they are so skewed.

brilliant reaction! I so love this film, it's such a clever, (sometimes) subtle and subvertive gem! and, most of all, it's so different! granted, nothing I'd show kids or teens who don't have an inkling of what the holocaust actually is or means in the first place, but as an educated person who appreciates the subtleties - an absolute, one of a kind gem!

I've got it as a 9 on my scale. Tons of heart, tons of great comedy which is throughout. When I watched it, my only criticism was the "I probably deserved that" line at the end seemed forced.

[@christopherbaldwin2005]

My Grandpa served in WW 2. His stories were very few and very short. I firmly believe that if you are ignorant of history, you are doomed to repeat it. Taika being Jewish himself understood the fine line he had to walk making this film. You might as well say that it was a complete window into the mind of a 10 year old. Over half his life the brain washing was happening. I would recommend the film "Fury". Also a WW 2 film that shows the last month of the war.

[@midnightblue6668]

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Tika tread the perfect, narrow path between the immense seriousness and weight of the Holocaust drama and the humor and emotion of someone living in a terrible reality and learning the truth of the terrible propaganda he's been force fed. As Mel Brooks stated better than I could, but I paraphrase, humor can often prove a point and shine a light in the darkest places of society than other methods can.

[@wfly81]

When Elsa looks in the mirror to see her own reflection and says "What a dirty Jew", that makes my gentile eyes cry. How sad.

Here's my favorite Holocaust joke: A Jewish Holocaust survivor dies and goes to see God. God's like "welcome!" The Jew says "gosh, this is great. Hey I always told myself when I met you that I had to tell you this joke, you'll love it." God says "oh I love jokes, go for it." So the Jew tells God his story of surviving the Holocaust. When he's finished, God says "I don't think that was very funny." The Jew says "I guess you had to be there."

[@Miroslava_Ivanova]

I was able to catch this movie in the cinema back in 2019 and it has been at the top of my list ever since, I see it as an absolute masterpiece and I feel it's a movie everyone should watch at least once. It pulls you in with the comedy, only to rip your heart out and then attempt to put it back in with duct tape and spit. And my favourite piece of trivia about this movie: When Taika Waititi, who is Maori/Jewish, was asked about why he chose to play the role of Adolf Hitler, he said "The answer's simple, what better 'fuck you' to the guy?" If you're interested in recommendations for movies What we do in the shadows (2014) was co-written and co-directed and stars Taika Waititi, who wrote, directed and starred in this movie.

[@Scott-J]

Movies like this remind me of Mel Brooks. He has said - the way you take power away from terrible things is by making fun of them. And he has taken every opportunity to make fun of the man with the little mustache, and racists, and hypocrites, and those who embody inhumanity.

[@ididthisonpulpous6526]

I have a recommendation based a little on something you mentioned before and related to the type of film. It's The Grave of the Fireflies. It's an animated film about a brother and sister surviving in Japan during WWII. It is a beautiful and terribly sad movie. It's also about a child filtering the horrible events through their own lense as well. Check it out!

If you want to see the subject treated humorously, I recommend The Producers (the original 1967 version) and To Be Or Not To Be (the 1983 version), both directed by Mel Brooks. Brooks really did fight against Nazis in the war, but says he has always been afraid of them. He deals with that fear by making fun of them, hilariously.

I mean..... jokes don't have to be funny. What you find funny I might not find funny at all. What I find funny you might not find funny at all. I think what makes it a joke is the attempt to be funny even if it ends up not being funny. When it comes to offensive or dark humor it kind of takes what isn't funny and making us laugh at it while still realizing how bad that thing was. There's nothing funny about someone getting hurt. But when I hear my dad fell and hit his head and I say "good thing it was his head. I thought it was something serious" people would normally find that funny.
