Jojo Rabbit: Political satire through a child’s eyes.

Many social and political satires have come and gone over the years, but Jojo Rabbit really stands out. Jojo Rabbit stars a boy in Nazi Germany in the Hitler youth with the ultimate goal of becoming best friends with Adolf Hitler played by Taika Watiti.

The film uses Adolf Hitler as Jojo’s inner voice and thought process. He acts just like a child when trying to reason and problem solve, as well as reassuring Jojo about what he is doing is right. Hitler never knows more or less than Jojo unless they start to have different ideas.

Political satire is also used by how the Germans have preconceived notions about the Jews. They think the can read each other’s minds or sleep upside down like bats. Jojo is making a book about Jews to give to Hitler. It all feels innocent enough because Jojo is only about 9 or 10 years old. This is a must see. 🍔🍔🍔🍔
