Jojo Rabbit | MOVIE REACTION | First Time Watching 

One of the best satires ever made for the big screen. An instant classic!

A masterpiece - to make you cry with your heart breaking & then with happiness - Taiki is a genius.

Did you pick up on the fact that Captain K and Freddy were lovers? They both had as much to lose as anyone and their uniforms at the end displayed the pibk triangle marking them out as gay. They literally went out loud and proud. With him covering for the mum and the girl, prhanising his towns defence and then ensuring Jojo was safe, i feel that he was the true hero of this movie.

Scar Jo and Sam got nominated, but for some reason- the Academy hardly ever nominates kids- this movie works because the boy playing JoJo is SO GOOD!

if a person doesn't cry at the 'big reveal' scene- they're inhuman.

It's very loosely based on a book that Taika's mother read and briefly discribed to him. But basically it was just enough to be get the creative ball rolling.

Scarlett will always be one of my favorite movie mothers of all time

This is a work of fiction. But, it is set, obviously, within an historic context. While most reactors are amused by the scene with all the kids and old people fighting in the streets, the reality is that by the end of the war, Germany was asking its citizens to come out and defend their towns and neighborhoods, as the military was, for all practical purposes, completely devastated. So while it's a parody and looks a bit funny, the reality of it wasn't funny at all. During WWII the Axis powers, in addition to causing the deaths of over 70,000,000 people worldwide, destroyed countless acres of cities, towns, historic architecture, works of art, people's homes, food supplies and so much more. Non-military citizens all over Europe were close to starvation for a while after WWII. This movie is a work of genius, balancing parody of war with realities of war. The Hitler Youth were real. The civilians fighting was real. The resistance and its supporters were real too.

Good you got the ‘device that emits annoying music to dishearten the enemy’ bit👍

Great reaction from both of you. I always catch every JoJo Rabbit reaction. Saw no inappropriate laughter whatsoever.

Only 3 hours remaining until the premiere at midnight here in Romania, now I have a strong reason to stay awake😊 .

Some of the funny things is sad when you look at it from another perspective. When JoJo ask his imaginary friend Hitler of he thinks he is ugly and Hitler answer yes it is really JoJo thinking he is ugly. I know some people is confused about Hitler wearing the native american feather headdress but that is because Hitler was a fan of wild west stories and the national socialists did like a lot of whet the US did like the Jim Crow laws.

It took me some time afterward to understand that the reason it worked so well was that all of what we were laughing at was not funny in the traditional sense, but absurd - that children would be trained for and sent into war, that adults would have children "for a cause", train children to hate, kill, spread and be indocrinated into wildly illogical propaganda . We laugh because it seems ludicrous,and yet it all happened. We have the distance from that history to find it all nonsensical - but it happened. The Hitler character was the indocrination personified n the child's mind, put there by a hateful movement and the adults that children trusted. That is why it was so satisfying to see him give H the boot at the end....he was ridding himself of the last of the bigotry and hate put there by the adults.

Should have won the Oscar

Fun fact: It was the kid's first screen role. Knocked it out of the park in one turn.

Loved yalls reactions, the shoe scene makes me cry every time. If Yall want another suggestion, I would try Knives Out, which is a mystery, drama, comedy. New subscriber! 👏

I love how expressive you are! Loved the film also watched it recently and started looking for reactions! Every character is unique and the transition from comedy to drama was done so beautifully! Something that people have not mentioned on the comments is that captain K and his lover were a secret couple and by the end of the film they are shown wearing those pink triangles on their uniform that Nazis used to stick on gay people to mark them as unworthy or whatever, but here they are, knowing that they would most likely die and chose to wear them proudly. Captain K helped the kid in many ways, because he promised to his mother to look after him. He even hurried home after his mother was hanged to check on him (carrying his mother's bike perhaps). He was not a Nazi at heart but he was forced to pretend to be one, could also be one of the reasons he stayed back and did not go to war.

Great reaction, guys.

I just discovered your channel -- and what a great introduction. I will definitely be checking out more of your reactions. Thank you so much!

Great reaction guys, I've watched this movie a thousand times and it still makes laugh and cry absolutely brilliant.

Great job. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber!!!

Your Wife need sometimes a hug from you!!! 😊❤

jojo rabbit is my fav movie of probably all time; waititi is so intelligent in terms of the balance between genres & the film is always enjoyable but also jarring to watch. it's based on the book "caging skies" by christine leunans (i read it a few years ago) but is entirely different in tone... most of the plot is different too. i love taika and all his films (and i appreciate dry kiwi humour lol) but i think this one is prob his greatest work thus far

His best film in my opinion.

Great reaction! It is really interesting to see your joint detailed reaction to the film Robocop 1987. This is a very cool classic 👍🔥🦾

Taika is kind of known for his Happy/Sad films.

love this movie so much

The rumor that Jews had horns was due to a mistranslation from the book of Exodus. The famous statue of Moses by Michelangelo had them, and perpetuated the image. Amazing movie and reaction!

two other "nazi comedies" that just might hit the right emotional targets are the italian "life is beautiful" (1997) and the czech "i served the king of england" (2006). along side "jo jo rabbit" these films form a grand trilogy of anti-fascist cinema with a comedic twist.

Google The Poisonous Mushroom....... Just to see how actual children's books were during the Nazis.... JoJo's book was not far off......

Tika said that his mother read the book and described it to him. This movie is the story has his mother described it to him. NOT as the book actualy is. Caging Skys share a lot of plot points but is NOT funny, and far more heartbreaking and infuriating.

The nazis actually youth camps like that

who frammed roger rabbit chris lyod ..steve merchent

You don't seem to understand the seriousness of what was happening during ww2. This movie has a back and forth humor. But your over laughing at certain times was just a little over done. Just saying.

The forced laughter is kinda annoying. The movie is fantastic though
