  1. How Jojo Rabbit Turned Satire Into Something Real

    Daily writing promptWhat’s a movie you expected to hate but ended up loving?View all responses /LOGS/BLOG_POST Posted by Eric Every once in a while a movie shows up that you fully expect to be absolute cinematic roadkill. You see the trailer. You hear the premise. You prepare yourself emotionally for two hours of regret and overpriced popcorn while humanity continues its long, majestic stumble into creative bankruptcy. That was Jojo Rabbit for me. A comedy about Nazi Germany featuring […]

  2. Jojo Rabbit would not be possible without Inglourious Basterds

    Quentin Tarantino told numerous times that the two places which gave the strongest reactions to his 2009 film Inglourious Basterds were Berlin and Tel Aviv. Why? Why reactions? Well... prior to Inglourious Basterds films about the subject of conflict between Jews and Nazis in World War II were largely serious pieces of cinema. Think Schindler's List. But as I pointed out in my review of Schindler's List, there was a considerable amount of effort on the part of Steven Spielberg to make the movie actually watchable. Tarantino with Inglourious Basterds made a movie that is not merely watchable, but outright enjoyable. He made a movie about this conflict where the audience are allowed to laugh. Taika Waititi's 2019 film Jojo Rabbit takes this premise and dials it to 11.

    How Roman Griffin Davis didn't win anything for his portrayal of JoJo Rabbit is beyond me. Just rewatched it and it was just so good.

  5. I just watched a trailer for the movie, Jo Jo Rabbit, on Hulu and I said out loud to myself, "That looks fucking stupid."

    When I read about it before it was released, it sounded ridiculous. This was after I had seen Inglorious Basterds, which I hate, despite Christoph Waltz's brilliant performance.

    Trying to make a comedy about the Nazis just ain't it for me.

    And Taika Waititi's comedy has proven to be mostly too broad for my taste.

  6. This reminds me of why I didn't like Jojo Rabbit.

    Not because it makes light of the horror of historical Nazis. As I keep saying, mockery is infinitely more effective at defeating fascists than punching them. A self-defeating tactic that feeds the cult of victimhood at the core of fascist group psychology, and corrodes public support for anti-fascists.

    No, I wasn't impressed by Jojo Rabbit because it was lazy caricature, not effective satire.

    (2/?)

  7. This dialog from #JojoRabbit is all of #IngloriousBasterds in 13 lines.

    Jojo Betzler: How dare you, Jew? You are weak, like an eyelash. I am born of Aryan ancestry. My blood is the color of a pure red rose. And my eyes are blue.
    Elsa Korr: [grabs Jojo] Break free. Break free, great Aryan. There are no weak Jews. I am descended from those who wrestle angels and kill giants. We were chosen by God. You were chosen by a pathetic little man who can't even grow a full moustache. A stronger race, huh?

  8. @undivaga Ahora me ha venido a la cabeza la escena de #JojoRabbit en la que los nazis se ponen en ridículo. Recordad, en la realidad, en el fondo, también son así (cambiad 'heil hitler' por 'arriba España' o 'que te vote __'):

    A song that’s a classic favorite: “#Heroes” - #DavidBowie (all David Bowie songs are #classics, right?)

    Loved this song from the very first time I saw Bowie perform it live during the #SeriousMoonlight tour in 1981. & then came the ending of #JojoRabbit & loved it even more.

    “Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
    Then we could be heroes, just for one day”

  11. A friend clicked a few times and got the same prompt, but for #JojoRabbit. So I added a dinosaur to it.

    Marked sensitive because you should probably opt into seeing Taika Waititi as Adolf Hitler.

  12. Saturdays foods almost done. Going for this one tonight.
