Movie Reactions: Jojo Rabbit

[@fritzkaraldo8452]

The movie genre is satire. And the comedy parts make the emotional parts hit even harder. When I realized that the hung his mom, I started crying. This film is excellent.

[@malcolmdrake6137]

"Satire"? Did we learn a new word and couldn't wait to use it...improperly? lol

[@zaonth1414]

@@malcolmdrake6137 "the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices" no it's pretty proper

[@david.j9.rabbithole808]

Your statement “Once I let the movie be what it is without questioning how I should be reacting....” is powerful and, in my opinion, the proper response to the art of film. I know many people who won’t watch it simply based on the Hitler/Nazi imagery from the marketing campaign and thinking its going to be a mockery of the Holocaust. This is a film that needs to be seen.

[@BelleLifeisinBloom]

Thank-you very much for your response. It makes me wonder how much I have missed in movies because I try to understand them from my worldview, which makes sense, but that's not what movies are for. They're telling a story. And maybe it's one you find difficult to understand but that's a good thing. I'm always looking to relate to a character or admire a character and I'm sure I've lost the beauty in films because of it.

[@MisterDevos]

It's a fucking movie. People who cant watch a movie because its based on bad thing are weak people.

[@snakesnoteyes]

@@MisterDevos congratulations on your astounding lack of empathy, you win at being edgy. What is your prize?

[@nickkiriakou9100]

@@BelleLifeisinBloomyou did good and you’re definitely not the only one who struggled to know how you’re supposed to feel/react. You’re not supposed to feel anything but what you feel when watching and I enjoyed your style of watching quietly and and giving us the smiles, a face pull, or something with your eyes telling us what you feel.

Real life is neither a drama nor a comedy. In real life, we laugh, we cry, we mourn, we love, we learn. That's why this film is so marvellous!!

[@MadcapMatt]

Such an underrated movie. Thanks for posting this review. It gets often overlooked.

[@kuhpunkt]

How is it underrated?

[@deuces_shoeless]

This was the best movie of 2019 and it wasn't even close. It blows me away that this movie won an Oscar and is still underrated because of it's subject matter.

[@t0dd000]

It's not underrated. It's considered a masterpiece.

[@bpinto9245]

i know it's been said before but this movie really has such a deeper meaning aside from the satire. it's truly very important

[@sfodd1979]

Don't be a Nazi.

[@gabrielp9646]

@@sfodd1979 No. Don´t be a fool who falls into peer pressure and starts to do what everyone else tells him/her to, don´t be an insecure kid who wants to play with guns and wear "cool" uniforms to feel bigger, don´t let yourself get caught in these new nazi-like political movements to the point where you don´t realize that what you´re saying is ridiculous... Among many others.

[@sfodd1979]

No, specifically, this is anti-Nazi propaganda, as described by the Director. It's not as general as you are saying. This movie is shaming Nazism, on account of it's modern resurgence in the US. The literal point of the movie is that Nazis, past and by extension present, are bad. You're taking it too generally. This film targets Nazism, as an evil. Waititi has said, as much and it's obvious. It doesn't make Nazis look good, but what does? It's anti-Nazi, through and through. That's the point, it's not an essay on peer pressure or propaganda, per the writer/director. It was a book, first, as well.

[@sfodd1979]

Such a film shouldn't be needed, but sadly, in these times, Taika Waititi, who is of Jewish descent felt it was. I concur with him.

[@sfodd1979]

Ya, this is a movie made by a Jewish person worried about Nazis, in the modern day. Because they are still a thing, and they shouldn't be. So he made a movie giving them a black eye. It's pretty simple. Just a powerful movie, but a simple point, Nazis are bad, don't be a Nazi.

[@biguy617]

Best movie TW has done yet. I love this movie. It feels like has some Wes Anderson style to it. It also has some of the style from Mel Brooks The Producers

[@MadcapMatt]

I don't know if you're seen Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, or The World's End yet but the two little kids in this movie remind me a lot of young versions of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

[@BelleLifeisinBloom]

I've seen Hot Fuzz and oh my goodness yes! I totally see it!

[@kellymaher3355]

I see it too. But I still think both hot fuzz and Shaun of the dead sucked ass. It was a disappointment after spaced being sharp and quick

[@spiderfingers86]

I had to drive for about two hours away to see this movie in the only theater that would show it. Taika Waititi wrote and directed directed this movie. Won the oscar for best adapted screenplay and was nominated for best picture

[@ubit397]

Laughing, crying, or both, It's never "weird" to feel authentic feelings.

[@louhillen8254]

This is the first time I have seen a Reactor give no reaction to the shoes scene.

[@kellymaher3355]

It's odd isn't it. It's like playing football and telling people to watch you, when u actually hate running around

Well this was more like a movie "not" reaction to be honest 😂.

[@kellymaher3355]

Pretty weird eh😃

[@Kaempfdog]

The last person to make such an attempt to make fun of the Nazi’s in such a jovial way was Mel Brooks if I recall. In EVERY spoof film that man made he always took every chance he could to make fun of the Nazi’s. And it worked REALLY well. He always believed that you take away your fear of the Nazi’s by laughing at them. Not the war itself and what came with it but the Nazi’s. (He also pretended to pants Obama so the man is as fearless as they come to NEVER be serious.)

[@tfpp1]

17:20 - Not sure if you picked up on it throughout the course of the movie, so I don't mean to be patronizing towards you but -- those two were secretly gay. It was frowned upon in Germany back then, and so he made that uniform as his defiant, last stand. The color scheme or design of the uniform was symbolic of that. He knew the war was coming to an end, and he went out on his terms, being his true self.

[@fritzkaraldo8452]

Oh please, secretly? And being homosexual was illegal and not frowned upon in germany, and pretty much every country back than. Some backwarts thibking countries still throw gays of buildings.

[@tfpp1]

@@fritzkaraldo8452 In the first place, I wasn't talking to you. Secondly, yes, secretly. They were hesitant to display their affection in the movie, thirdly, I'm sorry you're triggered because I didn't use the precise wording you wanted me to to describe what was going on at the time. Doesn't mean what I said was any less true.

[@fritzkaraldo8452]

@@tfpp1 Haha, triggerd, you lost me there buddy. And that in the first place, sorry that I replied to you, and that I spoke to some one on the internet. I tought I was talking to a grown up person. Have a nice day.

[@tfpp1]

Have you ever been talking to someone, and then suddenly someone else walks up and uninvitedly blurts out a comment when they weren't a part of the original conversation? It's not about being a grown up person, it's about having self-awareness and tact. But, apology accepted. And yes, have a nice day.

[@fritzkaraldo8452]

@@tfpp1 That wasn't a apology mate, that was sarcasm. You demand self awearness and tact, but can't admit you poor choice of word, and that you got facts wrong? You make the whole thing seen trivial. Your single comment was just that, my reply made it a conversation. Did she invited you to have a conversation? Sounds like you did the same you just acused me of. Funny isn't it?

[@mauriceedwards6759]

Film makers don't make those sort of films any more,when I heard Taika Wattia was doing this film I thought it was a terrible idea but I was so wrong, the ideas behind the comedy was so good great reaction.

[@biguy617]

Scarlet Johansson is great in this movie but Roman Griffin Davis and Thomasin McKenzie are the real stars of the show

[@SCharlesDennicon]

Your reaction to the "heil Hitler" scene is the most depressing thing I've seen all week. ^^; It looks like you were bored for two hours.

Wow, this is a terrible reaction.

[@t0dd000]

I'm always shocked when I hear someone say they never even heard of this film considering how prominent and successful it was when it came out and its nomination for Best Picture.

[@shizaanimations7634]

The first time watching this, I thought ScarJo was showing Jojo the people who were hanged because she was trying to make him a Nazi, but the second time, I realized that it’s to show the effects of the Nazis, and how awful they are, trying to make Jojo defect.

[@teethan3928]

it’s important to note that taika waititi, the writer director, and actor playing hitler is jewish. when asked why he decided to play hitler as a māori jew, he said “what a better fuck you to that guy!”

[@michaelvincent4280]

I love this, and tell everyone to see it.

[@gundummies]

You might be wondering why Captain K was helping Jojo (a lot of times actually). Like the time when Captain K went to Jojo's house with a bike, that was actually Rosie's bike and he came to check if Jojo's OK. Captain K also seems to be aware of what Rosie is doing too (he even let Rosie's kick slide - which an officer would normally not). Not sure if you've noticed the interactions of Captain K and Finkel. There are subtle interactions between them that point towards them being a gay couple and that they're hiding it (and they are). Nazis persecute homosexuals. With this in mind, this is why they are sympathetic towards Rosie's cause and why they helped because they know what it is to be persecuted (and they probably don't even agree with the Nazi "doctrine").

[@JayR1641]

Rosie’s bike had a basket at the front. The bike Captain K arrived on, didn’t. It wasn’t her bike.

[@spiderfingers86]

Directed by Taika Waititi who also plays Imaginary Hitler. Won best adapted screenplay and was nominated for best picture

[@thegorn68]

Glad to see your channel pop into my video suggestions again. You are one of my favorite reaction channels! I LOVE this film. It is the epitome of satire at its finest. Yes, as awful as that part of our history was, you can even make fun of Hitler and the Nazi Regime. I cried hard at the gut punch scene reveal of his mother hanging and he tries to tie her shoes anyway. Ughhh! This film instantly broke into my personal top five favorites of all time. Somewhere up there with "The Fisher King" (1991) which, of course, you already reacted to. Much to my delight. "Just go and shoot anyone who doesn't look like us." Is there a more appropriate line of dialogue to describe the ridiculous reasoning for war?

[@byScala]

hum... i was expecting a different reaction to the mother shoe scene. Looks like she didn't get it .

[@calgeekus]

I assume the fact that she even included the scene in the video meant that she got it, but yeah, blank reaction was unexpected, and weird it wasn't mentioned in the summary at the end. For me it's THE moment of the movie - and it was spoiled for me before I even saw it. Grr!

I found this "World War II Fantasy" movie very interesting and likeable, even though I prefer "real reel" War movies, such as "Dunkirk" or "1917." Do you watch foreign language movies? For a change of pace, may I suggest you take the "Train To Busan" (2016). It's a once-in-a-lifetime night train trip to South Korea's resort district.;)
