Finally got to see Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit and it was just as awesome as I thought it would be. Adapted from a novel by Christine Leuens, only Watiti could balance humor with WWII and Nazis. When I saw him speak in 2018 at TIFF, I remember him mentioning his new film where he would be playing Hitler, implying what a bigger fuck you to that guy than to be played by a mixed Jewish New Zealander. The cast is incredible #scarlettjohansson #samrockwell #rebelwilson #alfieallen to just name a few, and some incredible new, young faces, like #romangriffindavis who has already won several young actor awards. It has also already won a bunch of awards for Best Adapted Screenplay, AFI Movie of the Year, and is nominated for several Academy Awards. You will find yourself laughing at moments you don’t expect and then gripping your seat with emotion. This is a brilliant film that portrays humor and humanity set in a time where both were hard to find. It’s back in theaters, so go check it out!⁠⠀
