This year's Oscars have too many excellent films, I believe that even if you have not seen it, you must have heard it, such as "Parasite", "1917", "Joker", "The Irishman" and so on.
In this wave of films, there is a special film that stands out, this "children's comedy" "Jojo's Whimsical World" won the best picture, best supporting actress, best adapted screenplay, best costume design, best art direction, best film editing and other 6 awards nominations.
However, the content of this "children's comedy" is not "comedy" at all, and it is a film about World War II.
There are many excellent war movies, such as Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, The Pianist, Dunkirk, but the one I'm going to talk about today is a completely different, child's point of view of war.
I believe that after watching this movie, everyone's heart will be filled with warmth, blue eyes and blonde hair soft cute little boy, firm and kind mother and young and beautiful Jewish girl, as if dancing in front of their eyes.
The protagonist of the story is a 10-year-old German boy Jojo, who is timid and thin, unpopular among children, and is dependent on his mother, a stupid little boy who can't even tie his shoelaces, but he has another "great" dream in his heart - to become Hitler's bodyguard when he grows up.
For Jojo, whose ideological system was not yet mature, the collective fanaticism at the end of World War II really burned his "ideals", so he joined the Nazi youth training camp.
At the boot camp he learns marching, bayonet training, grenade throwing, trench digging, map reading, poison prevention, war simulation, and more.
Then the collective uttered inflammatory language, and the whole people threw themselves into blind blood.
But in the horrible-sounding training, Jojo's performance is funny and cute, because he is a kind and cute little boy himself.
Because his parents joined the army and were never heard from, in the confusion of growing up, he began to create an illusory father figure in the whimsical world to accompany himself.
This "father figure" character also won a large part of the audience's laughter - a funny version of Hitler with a big belly, an IQ of only ten years old, and a unicorn lover!
This Hitler took over all the happy, sad, confused, and hesitant moments of Jojo, always by Jojo's side, and for him, Hitler in this whimsical world was his warmest family and friend.
Life went on like this, until one day he found an "evil" Jewish girl hiding in the house by her mother...
Later, Jojo and the girl launched a series of stories of "fighting wits and courage", which made the people who watched it laugh.
At that time, many German boys like Jojo, they cheered long live Hitler, they were forced to experience cruel wars, genocide, anti-human events, they were brainwashed by the Nazis from childhood, but step by step on the road of loss of love.
But Jojo didn't.
Because he had a great mother.
Jojo's mother is played by the famous actress Scarlett Johansson, and she is sexy and beautiful, and she also shows the image of the great mother in this war.
Mom Rosie is humorous, beautiful and kind, strong and brave, full of wisdom, and in the dark times, she still loves to dance.
In the relationship with her 10-year-old son Jojo, she has always given her son rare moments of respect and warmth in the war, which have allowed Jojo to maintain a kind nature, even if it is only a mother and son life, but still has a good reputation.
When Jojo feels inferior to the scars on his face, Rosie will humorously say, "This is also a very rare experience, unlike me, I can only experience natural beauty." "
When Jojo pulled a grenade in order to prove that he was not timid in the juvenile Nazi concentration camp, and ended up hurting himself, Rosie did not say a word, angrily rushed to Captain K's office and gave him a sharp kick.
When she saw Jojo hanging her head and feeling that "only people who don't work and covet pleasure dance", Rosie, who loves to dance, said to him that "free people dance", she not only said so, but also danced to her son in public.
Rosie hated the German Nazis for killing Jews, she hated the German Nazis, and she had been doing the work of protecting the Jews underground.
But when she saw that Jojo was a fanatical little Nazi who dreamed of becoming Hitler's little bodyguard, she did not forbid and harshly rebuke him, but always optimistically guided him, escorting the child with love and justice.
She also knew what would happen to the Nazis at this time.
But she still protects Jojo's good nature when she knows everything, guiding her children in firm language: "I love my country, but I hate the wars, which are both meaningless and stupid to the extreme." "
As she took Jojo for a ride on her bike, she told her child, "Love is the most powerful thing in the world." "
In this age when there seemed to be only war, when no one seemed willing to talk to her children about love, she also told her children: "The feeling of falling in love with someone is like filling the stomach with butterflies." "
How romantic! And Jojo really experienced the wonder of "filling his stomach with butterflies".
This can be said to be a companion piece to "Beautiful Life", just like the father in "Beautiful Life" who strives to protect the child's soul, in "Jojo's Whimsical World", Rosie also hopes that children can grow up innocently even in the environment of war.
It's a warm and romantic movie.
When everyone pursues victory and fame, when everyone is insensitive and depraved and cruel, there are people who always dance on the road of pursuing romance...
That's what really moves people about the movie.
In fact, in the era of peace, we have basically no connection with war, but our way of getting along with our children is always on the road of "war".
But we still call this "love," "I'm all for your own good," without really considering the child's feelings.
In the movie, there is a "highlight moment" of parent-child relationship.
Once, Jojo couldn't stand it and yelled at his mother, "Daddy is not here, I can only be trapped with you!" "
At this time, Rosie could not bear the hurt mood, she smeared the ash on her face to pretend to be Jojo's father, and slapped the table hard to reprimand her son: "Don't talk to your mother in this tone!" "
When she saw her son's frozen expression, she realized that his son was frightened.
She quickly apologized to her son with her "father" identity: "I'm sorry Jojo, I know you miss me a lot, but I'm struggling outside, I'm trying to change the world." "
"In my absence, please help me take care of my beloved Rosie, can you do it?" I'm sure she's done her best. "
This conversation made me tear up in an instant, gentle mother, kind son, and daily understanding of each other, this is the really good parent-child relationship.
The real way for parents to get along with their children is not to try to suppress their emotions in the family at home, but to be able to let go of the "majesty" of their parents, not always on top, sincerely say the truest feelings in their hearts, and apologize for their mistakes.
Similarly, "respect" is also an important link in the maintenance of parent-child relationship.
While respecting her son's choice, Rosie also does her best to convey to her children what is really good in life, what those who do the right thing, what they are.
Compared with the daily nagging preaching, Rosie gives the child as much as possible to give the child a sense of the beauty of daily life and accompany the child through dark moments.
This is something that even in peacetime parents find difficult to realize and do.
Without war, we might as well dance with our children.
I am Nemo mother nursery, but also the mother of the 5-year-old baby, in the process of raising and educating children, encounter any problems can come to me, I hope that my little advice can help you solve the confusion and troubles in the process of taking the baby, so that our children can grow better!
