TOO MANY TEARS... Jojo Rabbit Reaction FIRST TIME WATCHING Taika Waititi, Scarlett Johansson 

About Frau Betzler being afraid that her son will report her, it happened sometimes. When parents expressed disagreement with something about Hitler youth (their teen daughters getting pregnant under dubious circumstances for example), the kids would sometimes report them, even if the parents' concerns were 100% legitimate

Elsa is the opposite of the meek hidden jewish character typically portrayed in movies. She’s angry, funny, crafty and kind. She’s a person. So yes, she scares him instead of begging for her life at first. It’s refreshing for me to see a character that is not just beaten down and scared, but a fully formed and multifaceted character.

Watching somebody react to Sam Rockwell during the interrogation scene is heartbreaking. Because somebody who has already watched the movie knows, that his mother is already dead. The reason they are there is to search his home after she was hanged. That’s why Sam Rockwell brought his mothers bike back. He was coming to make sure that the boy was OK. 💔💔💔

Not sure if you remotely caught the fact that Rockwell’s character was a gay man and the other guy was his partner, so it explains why he covered for jojo and the girl, as well as his very flamboyant outfit at the end. They focused so much on the mother’s shoes throughout, to deliver the impact of her being hung. Such an amazing movie!!

Side note: I really like what they did with Elsa in this movie. The temptation might've been to make her IDK angelic, rather than spiky like she is. The spikiness etc made her feel more real and fleshed out rather than just a plot device.

In my opinion this is nothing short of a masterpiece. You’re right that every single element had to come together perfectly for it to work. And it did. From hilarious to heartbreaking within moments. Brilliant. How anyone could possibly see this as anti-Semitic is beyond me.

Membership in the Hitler Youth was made mandatory in 1936 (but there was pressure to join it before). If a kid didn't join, the parents could be investigated by the authorities.

My favorite fact about this movie is that Roman Griffin Davis, who plays Jojo, had never acted before this, other than I think a flower in a school play. His performance is incredible, ESPECIALLY for someone so young and who had never acted.

Taika Waititi wrote the script and won an Oscar for adapted screenplay, but the book is very different (no imaginary Hitler, Jojo is older and no comedy and other differences). I think this movie is one of the best movie about holocaust ever made and become better and better every time I watch it. Love every character and love how Hitler becomes scarier when Jojo opens his eyes about Jews. I reccomand to watch some of the interview Taika made for the film, he tells how his mother introduced him to the book and how it was for him to play Hitler as a maori and a jew (and how creepy he felt to be dressed like Hitler while he was directing the movie), Taika's interview are always so much fun. Hope you will react to others Taika Waititi 's movie, like What we do in the shadows or Hunt for the wilder people

This, in my opinion, is the best movie of the last decade. Hits every note so perfectly.

This movie is a hilarious take on what Hitler would be like in a child’s imagination. Thank you Waititi, for giving us such a beautiful film, and thank YOU good sir for reacting to it.

Shindlers List did an ace job of showing the inhumanity of Nazi Germany/nazism and Jojo Rabbit did an ace job of showing the absurdity. I'm glad they both exist to compliment each other 👏 ya gotta go the whole hog and watch The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas too now! That one wins for being the most heartbreaking to me, though it is for sure close.

The Gestapo came to Jojo's house because they had arrested and hanged his mother, and they would usually go to those people's house in case there were more accomplices or they were hiding Jews (which was common for those against the Reich). That's why they came to the house, Yorki didn't tell them anything. And Captain K showed up during the Gestapo search because he had seen that Jojo's mom had been hanged, and came to check on him. It's hinted all throughout the movie that he's actually a gay man (which nazis were killing or sending to extermination camps) and was actually one of those who were working against the nazis, like Jojo's mom. That's why he voluntarily did a sh*t job at training Hitler youth while pretending to be a nazi to hide the fact he was gay, that's why he told Jojo his mom was an actually good person, and that's also one of the reasons he rushed to the house when he saw Jojo's mom was hanged, he most likely knew she was hiding a Jew. That explains also why he was the one to "check her identity". He knew that the sister was dead, hence his line "you need a new picture, you look like a ghost in this one", and that's also the reason why he said the birth date was correct although he was looking at a clearly different one. I think he was a pretty cool character.

I totally agree, this is an amazing movie It's pretty clear that Sam Rockwell's character knew that Inge was dead, and that he covered for Jo Jo and Elsa. But why? Capt K and Freddie Finkal, were obviously in a relationship. They even wore pink triangles on their uniforms in their last scene together A beautiful tragi/comedy Amazing

I also love that it was made from Jojo's point of view like when it starts it's so incredibly colorful, when he meets "the jew" she comes out like it was a horror movie because he has been taught jews are monsters, the way the color starts becoming more desaturated as his childhood ideology falls away and he starts seeing and understanding reality more.

I think the best moment in the movie is when the son asks, "What did they do?", and his mother replies, "What they could."

I love that Taika said he got an Oscar for this film by 'literally just ripping off a book' and won a Grammy for the soundtrack by just 'making a playlist' :D makes it sound so easy haha

15:56 What's funny here is that Hitler hated smoking and wouldn't let anyone smoke around him. So Jojo probably just thinks all adults smoke, plus smoking is manly so of course he would smoke.

To your question about how many kids were in the HJ or similar groups... nearly 98% of all children in germany. Even though they weren't forced to join the HJ ( not directly anyway more indirectly from their neighbors and friends, it was suspicious not to send your child to the HJ). parents still sent their children to the HJ because they saw that as an opportunity for their children to connect and get more chances to gain different experiences. You could compare them to the boy scouts of today, just not with the same ideology.

I hope you have time to rewatch the movie. It is worth it, you will pick up so much more, that will lead you to see somethings differently. As others have said, the German Shepard scene makes it clear that Capt. K and Freddie are lovers. How did they end up fighting for a country that wants to kill all homosexuals? Survival. What else could they do? They decided to hide in plain sight. But by 1945 they were worn out and hopeless. Others had joined the resistance, and most died for it, but maybe they should have to. I think that might be their story. Captain K is holding Freddie’s cape at the end when he is dragged off.

I went to film school in the 1980s, and my teacher, Manny Kirchheimer, showed us his documentary (later turned into a book), We Were So Beloved, which was about being Jewish and living in Nazi Germany before the war. There's an interview with an old man remembering wanting to join the Hitler Youth, like Jojo, when he was a boy. Besides being taught to be Nazis, they were doing all this cool stuff, like camping, all the things that boys love to do. But he couldn't because he was Jewish. It was a very painful memory for him to think about how angry he was with his parents, and yelling at them for "ruining his life" because they were Jewish and he could never be a Nazi... the indoctrination and pressure were that great. His parents saw the writing on the wall and escaped to America which is why he survived to tell his story.

War movies don't always need an R rating to get their point across. Being able to reach a wider and younger audience, this film shows kids how to think for themselves, and to not just assume that what you're told and what is going on around you is true or right.

Taika Waititi is a genius with everything he touches. You should react to his other work as well, like What we do in the Shadows or Our Flag Means Death. Both are incredible.

Would love to see you react to Taika's latest tv series, Our Flag Means Death. Its a comedy about pirates, very highly acclaimed :)

When I first watched the film, I can only say that I felt it was a piece of unexpected brilliance.

The child abandonment and poverty in these stages of war and post war in Germany was* very real. My partner's grandparents were Jojo's age and a little older in Germany. Their stories are eerily similar except the grandfather was drafted at 13 (very much like Yorkie) in the last year of the war because Germany was running out of people and the grandmother's entire town was overtaken by the Russians. She was also in the Hitlerjugand like Jojo and actually buried her medals. As she escaped with her siblings, they had to forage and beg for food from other Germans. The thing about this movie is even the satire is eerily accurate. Jojo's imaginary friend is really the propaganda of the Third Reich through the lenz of what Jojo understands and his comments on being deformed are jokes but in Germany, looks were extremely important as were abilities. Being able-bodied meant that you could fully be useful to the fatherland and that's why Captain K was demoted even though he was an amazing shot--because being partially blind, he wasn't considered to be fully-bodied to support the regime in combat. That's why Jojo is devastated about the scars--he even says now he won't be able to be in Hitler's personal guard and he's honestly right (this is shown by the Gestapo's comments and also parroted back about Jojo's own misguided self-perceptions about being ugly when Hitler calls him that). One thing that I love about the film is that this physical barrier immediately weakens Jojo's affiliation with the party on a visual level. Whereas before he could kind of pretend to be all on-board (even with the book burning and the violence) as long as he wasn't called out, after the injury--he cannot hide his difference from who he is to what the party prioritizes and represents. As the story continues, as Jojo learns through exposure to Elsa, seeing his mother's actions, and being around Captain K--he actually becomes more comfortable with himself because he sees how twisted and wrong the nazi regime is. In the end, he looks in the mirror at his scarred face and it's the first time he looks at himself as a whole--right in the eyes--and doesn't comment on being ugly or deformed but fully accepts himself and fully accepts Elsa's right to freedom as he's about to open the door and let her go. Amazing storytelling. Your thoughts about the tracing of horrible actions/cruelty being traced to fear and misunderstanding and pain was so insightful and I completely agree. Those scenes are very tough to watch but I think they needed to happen. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and journey with this film. I'm so happy that you connected with it and through your reaction are sharing its nuance and importance. The movie did well but received a lot of bad press from people who deliberately didn't understand satire and its incredible importance of not glorifying nazism and antisemitism so a lot of people mistakenly think it is pro-nazi or doesn't take what happened seriously. :( *edits for final paragraph and punctuation* :)

the Kid was Roman Griffin Davis and it was his first acting role

What I think is amazing about this film is how it explores the dogmatism of the Germans that chose become nazis out of blind loyalty. And JoJo ,being a young kid is easily influenced, goes through the journey of realizing the flaw in that dogmatism and how his mother was raising him not only to do what was right, but to learn to do it when she’s no longer with him. I also love how you watch the connection between him and Elsa and how they grow from being two estranged children with different cultural backgrounds to not only friends but to a brother-sister relationship. 🐇

I always felt JoJo answering Elsa's question of who won the war with "We did." didn't mean Germany and the Nazis. It just meant Germany and thus they being free of the Nazis now.

34:32 Now he says "get a new photo, you look like a ghost in this one". So he knew it was for the dead sister.

yorkie's gotta be my fav.. he's only got a couple of lines in the movie but damn he did so good delivering it

When I saw this movie about a year ago it became one of my favorites. So unique and your reaction was quite thoughtful. Like you said these hard topics colored through a child's lens so well. Greetings from Iceland.

It was a brilliant move on Waititi's part to compose all those shots throught the first part of the movie with Jojo's mother's shoes at the same height as Jojo's eyeline. It makes that one moment when Jojo discover's her hanging in the square so much more impactful.

Unfortunately, honesty was not the best policy. Hitler youth would sometimes inform on their parents because they were told to. They were that ingrained and trained in fanaticism.

I lost it when they panned on the mom's shoes. I still do.

There was review about this movie compared to the book, I forget who did it and what it was called, but I remember the substance. The book Jojo was a full grown teenager or in his early 20s in the book and he was not a good person. And the Jewish girl and their “romance”, through that out the window. Jojo psychologically abused her into believing the Nazis won the war. She was basically his sex slave. Taika Watiti said he vaguely remembered the synopsis of the book and based the screenplay of his recollections. This is movie is basically the “Disney Treatment” for a pretty depressing book. Stick with the movie. The author even gave Watiti his blessing.

I’m just starting your reaction and I am THRILLED. I anticipate you will LOVE IT as much as everybody does. I’ve been watching your reactions quite a bit recently, and you are making really great choices. Seattle sending you all the love! Keep up the good work. I would love to see some early Robin Williams reactions. The Fisher King is INCREDIBLE and nobody ever does it. Thanks for your hard work!

Rockwell knew Rosie was hanged and brings her bike back when the Gestapo was there. You can see him discretely lay it to the side. He came to tell JoJo but had to play his part which is also why he didn’t acknowledge the wrong birthdate. He cared a lot.

Captain K and his lover Freddie went out loud and proud looking fabulous.

"How does no one know that his sister died?" I read that it was common for families that had experienced a death in Nazi Germany to fail to report the death so they can keep getting rations for the deceased individual. Squirrelling away extra food is also a great way to feed people hiding in your attic.

The main reason The mother didn't tell joo was to protect him. He wouldn't rat out his mother, but he might say something that goes against the grain, saying anything that might lead people to think he doesn't support the regime. He isn't a very good liar and he wears his heart on his sleave. His mother is scared that he may make himself a target

The caption is such an awesome character. I love his snide remarks that let you know he sees through the BS propaganda and is basically just going through the motions. From the first line you hear out of his mouth you can see he's just OVER IT He just wants to run off in his fancy uniform and be happy with Theon lol

There was a documentary on the Hitler Youth on Amazon Prime directed by Guido Knopp. It went into great detail about what went on in the Hitler Youth, basically trying to turn the entire youth of Germany into child soldiers. An accurate depiction of the results of this can be seen in the film "Downfall", which is about as historically accurate as filmmaking ever gets.

you could actually see right from the get go that Sam Rockwell's character was very much done with this whole nazi Germany and war bullshit based on his behavior, the way he was talking, so in the end it wasnt that shocking that he sided with JoJo and Elsa, that he liked his mom too :)

"No feeling is final" is such a difficult and painful truth that I struggle with every moment of my life as someone with mental illness.

Captain K was Gay If you look closely his flamboyant outfit had a pink triangle.

It's pretty accurate, and the kids were so brainwashed they would tell on their parents if they hid people or even just spoke badly about the regime. Sam Rockwell's and Alfie Allen's characters were actually gay and not nazis at all, which is why they sported these pink triangles in the final battle scene.

In a word this film is brilliant, and I don't often use that word when talking about a movie - 2001 would be another, if in an entirely different vein. Also you are right that a part of the brilliance is the easy way it glides between Python-esque humor and Diary of Anne Frank dread.

Idk if anyone else has mentioned it but if you haven’t seen The Boy in the Striped Pajamas - you should react to it (or watch it on your own). It is the first major role Asa Butterfield got. It’s based on the book of the same name. The author wrote it as an entry point to be able to talk about the holocaust with kids. So I personally found the story amazing. So yeah.. anyways… I loved Jojo Rabbit, glad to see you enjoyed it.

For the kid being left alone after they killed his mother, they didn't care. Many children lost their parents and had to fend for themselves. Some had relatives or neighbors who took them in, but some were alone, too. Jewish children like Elsa were also hidden by German people. And yes, some children who were in the Hitler Youth (it was mandatory at some point) would turn in their own parents, sometimes even just for criticizing the regime.

I think the fact that you keep defending Jojo and telling the girl (who is in constant fear for her life) to chill says a lot about our own brainwashing...

Such a great film. I was pressured to not see this film when it came out because people had notions from the trailer that it was making light of a very dark historical event. So glad I didn’t listen to them and showing this movie to all my family and friends has been such a worthy experience. Taika’s story telling is so unique. He said in an interview that he always intended to use humor to dismantle the regimes built on tolerance and hate. He also said it was his only project that he wrote beginning to end, no stops, no adjustments, no second guessing. And he set it aside for 6 years while he worked on other projects. Then came back to it and was like: yep, still doing it. Truly a living legend.

Did you really give the imaginary Hitler a compliment? Wtf

I'm under the weather. But I'm so glad you did this video. I'll come back and comment when I feel better

Captain K never wears his Nazi uniform properly - it always looks like he is openly disrespecting it. He is also very sarcastic when he talks about Germany's prospects for winning the war. He never spreads propaganda about the Jews - while Rebel Wilson is teaching hatred he just stands back getting drunk. He openly contradicts Wilson's propaganda several times throughout the movie. And he gets demoted twice under Nazi rule but never tries to climb back to his previous station. And obviously he is a closet gay and lies to protect a hidden jew. Much like Jojo's mother, he seems to love his country but hates the Nazi party. This character is incredibly well written IMO.

I don't know if this was his passion project, but it feels like it would be because it's his greatest work by far. To make this movie required a lot of guts and talent, and to make sure it didn't go wrong... I don't love to talk like a critic, but this is a staggering work of art.

37:53 "Aren't they gonna send someone...?" That's why the Gestapo came to investigate, and Klenzendorf arrived and helped Jojo and Elsa deceive the Gestapo regarding Elsa's identity. Rosie had already been executive at the gallows in the public square.

At some point, during the last years of the war, it was mandatory for all kids to join, and they were taught the nazi ideology about "inferior races" at school, right from the start. The movie is set in 1944, Jojo would have been born in 1934. Many kids told on their parents, even for only disagreeing with the regime. The Gestapo would come to get them and they were never seen again. It's also possible nobody knew Inge had died, it was complete chaos and many civilians died every day during the bombings. When both parents died, kids were left on their own, it happened often. Some stories of people who had hidden Jewish children only come out now. After the war, people wouldn't talk about things that happened during the war for decades, and some things were only discovered after their deaths in the 1990s, especially after the Reunification because the former eastern Germany had lots of files about many people. And like Captain K., many people had to pretend to play along for fear of getting killed. Hitler had lots of his own officers executed because they didn't agree with him anymore, especially after the Operation Valkyrie.

9:26 he's also one of the only ones! That's part of why Taika Waititi has him in here like this! In most films, all we ever see of him is in old footage, at the height of his power. By turning him into a figment of a boys imagination, it makes him look like the pathetic man he actually was.

There’s a theory where Captain K was actually in the same rebel group as Jojo’s mom. He said earlier in the film that he got demoted because of an accident, now that accident could’ve been an accident OR that he was gay & someone found out so he got demoted. That could’ve been 1 of the reasons why he joined the rebel group. In 18:56 he also insists Jojo to tell him straight away if he ever saw a Jew. 32:25: Captain K starts barging in as if to tell Jojo to hide the Jew/take the Jew to another safe place. Jojo’s mom probably told him about the Jew. Well anyway, that’s a theory.

Did I hear you refer to the guy from Game Of Thrones as Ramsey? That's a bit wrong ... It was Alfie Allen who plays Theon Greyjoy / Reek. Ramsey was his torturer.

THOR, did you NOTICE that they are playing THE BEATLES GERMAN VERSION of "I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND" ("KOM GIB MIR DEINE HAND") at the beginning over the scenes of German's going crazy over Hitler? The BEATLES also recorded "SHE LOVES YOU" ("SIE LEIBT DICH") in GERMAN in 1964. They NOW can BOTH be found on The BEATLES "PAST MASTERS VOL. 1" CD. which contains singles that were never on any of their albums. There is also a "PAST MASTERS VOL. 2" that has MORE Beatles's singles that were never included on any of their albums. I was STUNNED when I first watched JO JO RABBIT on TV, when they started playing it! SEEMS I am THE ONLY one of all the reactors I have seen that even NOTICED it was a BEATLES song, I thought they would at LEAST recognize the TUNE. LOL

You talked over the whole movie and missed many key points like the isolation shots on the mothers shoes through out the movie. I like most of your commentry, if you would just pause, make your comment, then continue it would make a world of difference.

Such a great emotional yet comedic take and was done very well. Great work from all actors and the director. This 1 hit me with the ups n downs so much respect from an artist perspective. I lost my mother at a young age through trauma and they definitely depicted the shock of sudden loss and explained how you carry on not only that but as a mother I am a lot like scarlet Johansson's character so it highlighted how important I am to my son and how strong the bonding connection is he can use for his future. I never had the chance to have that with my mum very Powerful movie . Lol I looked up behind the scenes stuff too very interesting 😁

I think they really accomplished something by being able to make a film featuring Hitler that instead of making him into this typical almost untouchably bad persona, making him into something to laugh at took all the power out of him. Showing him as the clown he was.

If I remember correctly, this was the JoJo actor's first role.

Adolf offering cigarettes is funnier than it should be. He was so anti smoking IRL

@Thor Reacts, you’d probably like these other WWII movies: Valkyrie, The Boy In the Striped Pajamas, and The Pianist.

Now you need to see a movie with a really, really bad kid . The Bad Seed from 1958.

If no one said it, I think Elsa slaps JoJo at the end b/c he lied to her that the Nazi's won.

How perfect is comparing Beatlemania to the throngs adoring Hitler. That was most likely real footage to 'I Want to Hold Your Hand". And that closing 'Heros' was just amazing -- Bowie singing in German. You could have left a bit more in of that, but we don't want to see you literally shedding tears too much, I suppose.

Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊

Slant Magazine, Robbie Collie, and Mark Kermode have expressed distaste for the film, calling it nothing more that Antisemitic propaganda.

Are we going to get a "POTC on stranger tides" reaction

I'm not sure if this has been said but this was Roman Griffin-Davis' (Jojo) first acting role outside of a tree for a school play. He was outstanding and it was great sharing your joy for this movie.

I would also recommed you to watch the 1997 Italian Movie "Life is Beautiful"

sobbed like a baby when I saw this movie the first time ; ).

A lot of people are not aware that Taika Waititi is Jewish and Maori. He regards this performance as a way to really stick it to Moustache Man.

Watch Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator. It’s pretty amazing especially given when it was made.

24:50 she wasn't hurt. She immediately knew it was made up but went along with it possibly because it was cute. I had a sitter who would go along with my embellishments like this as a kid. That's basically the their relationship at this point from her perspective, sitter/kid and big sister/little brother.

1:25 Critics rave! "Funnier than Schindler's List!"

really enjoyed these movie choices lately!! great reactions!

If this is your favorite screen presentation of Hitler, then you simply MUST watch Mel Brooks's "The Producers".

Sir reaction on rrr please

There's an old Italian movie called Life is Beautiful that is like Jojo Rabbit, in that it's something of a "feel good" holocaust movie, though it has very depressing bits just like this one. I do highly recommend it

Fahrenheit 451

Nominated for 6 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Best Adapted Screenplay.

I want to recommend you two movies, both in German. One, inspired by this one, is called Napola (OG title) or Before The Fall (English title). Because it is about Hitler Jugend and an amazing movie, which tore my heart out. And then Die Welle in German or The Wave in English. Still thematically related to these movies but with a twist, and the same actor as in Napola. They are both dear to my heart ❤️

Steven Merchant's character gives hints about Rosie's capture and how she was caught. "She's very busy" "Is she?" god awful gloating grin. Then when he leaves "That reminds me. We much be on our way. We left that guy hanging." Another awful inside joke grin. They caught his dad. That lead to them discovering that both him and Rosie were in the resistance. Jojo... Is an orphan. His dad isn't coming home. Also they didn't care about caring for jojo as an orphan, because they were there to dispatch jojo, as well. Captain K and Freddy messed up those plans. Which is why merchant's character gave him that hovering glare. He wasn't suspicious. Captain K was pretty much like Jojo's troupe leader and had a valid excuse to be there. He was trying to intimidate him and get his to leave.

My favorite film of that 2019. Funny and heartbreaking. Loved the actor who played JoJo so much and his friend too. Agree it was such a good performance.T hought it was one of Scarlett's better performances. She got nominated for an Oscar and well deserved. My favorite parts were the winking scene,the dinner scene with JoJo and his mom.The emotion of when he finds his mom hanging was so well done,that kid had me crying. And so shocking,didn't see that coming. Also loved when Sam Rockwell comforts JoJo at the end. Perfect film to me. Also the actress who plays Elsa was also great and underrated(Thomasin McKenzie) If you want to watch another good film with her in it, please check out Leave No Trace.

This is a Masterpiece. Great reaction as always!

Be a Hero! Jojo and Elsa are dancing to 'Heroes sung by David Bowie in German. The song was from an album recorded in Berlin. The lyrics hadn't been written until the record producer and his new German girlfriend, a German jazz singer, showed Bowie a photograph they'd taken of a couple kissing at the Berlin Wall. Bowie imagined a story of a couple separated by the Wall. The song is a fitting and ironic compliment to The Beatles song at the beginning of the film. '

Training grenades are very lightly charged compared to battle grenades.

Some other great child performances I recommend - Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense and A.I. Artificial Intelligence, and Anna Paquin in The Piano.

You nailed it in the intro. This movie is definitely funnier than Schindler's List

Bit of a delay in this input but, some history... the concentration camps were full of parents turned in by their nazi indoctrinated children; this is the end of the war, Germany is running out of everything including soldiers, hence the children and civilians fighting at the end; the gibbet in the town square would have had new people hanging almost daily, to increase the terror in the population; you were more worried about Elsa's mean treatment of Jojo, but most everyone in the country is trying to kill her, she might be a bit touchy; and no one comes to take care of Jojo because the orphanages are overstuffed and everyone (but the Gestapo, who have to keep the local terror going) are off fighting or dead; lastly, people don't KNOW Jojo's real sister is dead because at the end of the war people disappeared all the time. It was total chaos and people tried to live as normally as they could but didn't ask too many questions because questions, like so much else, could have you hanging in the the town square. Really enjoyed your reaction! Hope some of this was helpful.

the clones gag will make more sense if you watch The Boys from Brazil or read the novel

Not only did the actor who played Jojo, Roman Griffin Davis, give a wonderful performance, especially for a child actor, and especially in a role in which he had to portray such a range of emotions - this was his first film performance.

JoJo said "We did' but he wasn't lying. Germany won; Germany survived Hitler.

Check out Tiaka's earlier work. Eagle vs Shark - "tell him its Justice calling" " Ok Justin" and stars Jemaine Clemett (flight of the Conchords) and Boy - Captures the feeling of the 80's in New Zealand
