When the widow's youngest son meets Hitler, will he blurt out the secret of the Jewish girl hidden in the house?
Film · Watch
A badly brainwashed teenager, Jojo, fantasizes about idolizing Hitler and becomes a companion without saying a word. And this imaginary Hitler changed the insidious, cunning, arrogant, and crazy of the past, and replaced it with a cute, intimate, generous, and cute image like Chaplin's "The Great Dictator", which is obviously a kind of irony, a joke.
The director uses irony to present the most cruel memory in human history, which can be seen as a combination of "A Beautiful Life" and "Anne Frank's Diary", which seems to be joyful and humorous on the surface, but in fact hides ulterior motives and cruelty.
Jojo's mother hides the identity of the resistance group, his son Jojo also hides the secret of becoming a partner with Hitler, and when the mother is executed, the boy Jojo discovers that there is a Jewish girl hidden in the house, the original woven fantasy world is instantly broken, the boy Jojo sees this crazy world little by little, sees all kinds of people around him, realizes the nature of the Nazi, and the boy Jojo also goes from trepidation to acquaintance with Jewish girls, to acquaintance, and then to a little love, It can be said that the Jewish girl has made Jojo step by step return from a person living in a fantasy world to real life. Pulling a person who is about to become a devil back to a person of goodness and integrity may not be able to do as a mother, the mother just hides the truth and does not let the son be polluted by evil, but blindly concealing and hiding is far from being able to face the anti-evil forces, the former Soviet war movie "See for Yourself" is a good example, the boy will eventually become a man, and it is inevitable to experience pain.
Boy Jojo's little fat partner, it can be said that Jojo was not saved by kindness, living in the lies and nightmares woven by the Nazis, facing death without showing a trace of fear and remorse, reflection, we see the sadness of this character, both pitiful and hateful of his obsession and unrepentant, the most terrible thing is not that there is evil in the heart, but always blinded to become an accomplice of the evil.

It may be that the director wants to create an ironic effect too much, resulting in the entertainment of the film is a little too much, in fact, in the second half can reduce some humorous treatment, as the boy Jojo recognizes the real world little by little, the sense of cruelty and suffocation should also be approached step by step.
The fantasy of cute Hitler should also become more and more arrogant and arrogant as the plot develops, not being controlled by people, and changing from Jojo's partner to the devil in his heart.
This may be the sequelae left by the director in the filming of "Thor 3", "Thor 3" has been criticized for originally borrowing from the tragic design of ancient Greece, but it has been made into a funny work full of paragraphs.

Since Jojo can fantasize about the cute Hitler, is it possible that Jewish girls are also jojo's fantasies? It is even more bold to imagine that Jojo's mother was reported by Jojo, who was brainwashed by the Nazis, but since seeing his mother after being executed, Jojo has undergone a great change in his heart, and Jewish girls are naturally fantasized to help Jojo recognize the cruel world, see through Hitler's conspiracy with the Nazis, and be an angel who imagines himself to help himself return to the normal world little by little and restore normal human emotions.
It can be seen that the Jewish girl and Jojo's mother are very close to each other, and the age is older than Jojo, when Jojo learns that the Jewish girl has a boyfriend, he is also jealous, it is not difficult to see that the growth of the boy is always unable to escape the influence of his mother and sister, from becoming a partner with the fantasy of dumb Hitler, to falling in love with the fantasy of the Jewish girl, from being used by others, to a normal person with his own feelings, it is also the journey of the boy Jojo's growth.
