Jojo is a boy that's very dedicated to the Nazi doctrine who finds out that his mother is hiding a Jewish girl in the walls of the house.
A drama-comedy-tragedy masked by many seemingly superficial appearances that makes good use of ridiculing the ugly truth. In a very visually pleasing way, wholly new to this subject, some would say very easily digestible, Jojo Rabbit presents several facets of the same very familiar problem, countlessly presented to the public in many forms before. The history of a widely studied intolerance is thus used to preach tolerance. The Nazis are pleasantly explored and presented in their very colorful variety: the young adepts who get indoctrinated when very young through school, using false ideals and lies dressed as scary fantasy stories, patriots who became Nazis involuntarily, through an unnatural evolution of the concept, pseudo Nazis who have to pretend and act every day as if they have lost their humanity, airheads who truly just don't know better and the genuine Nazis. Pleasant and sad to watch in perfect balance.
