Hello, all of you beautiful Scroll readers! If you are like me and are drowning in homework and schoolwork, then a movie is the best way to forget about it and ruin your grades even more. So, of course, I will tell you the movies I watched this month instead of doing my Algebra II homework and procrastinating my Chamber Orchestra audition essay. After you read this, I suggest you go and read Ella’s amazing book column (which this is definitely not a carbon copy of).

(If any of my teachers are reading this I am sorry and I will go do my homework, practice my viola, and write my essay after I finish the homework)

Disclaimer: This article talks about Nazis and goes into detail about it. I do NOT support or even shed any bit of positive emotion towards the actions Hitler or the Nazis made.

When they are burning the books in the next montage, there is this cool shot of Klenzendorf with a face of disgust, showing that even the higher military ranks found the acts Germany carried out in World War II disgusting and atrocious.

The reason the Gestapo scene was impactful is because it was extremely over the top and suspenseful the entire time. At this time, Germany knew that they were going to lose the war, so they decided that they were going to throw a Hail Mary and try to do whatever they could to accomplish their goals, even if that meant killing random civilians for no reason at all, almost like a toddler throwing a fit over not getting a happy meal or getting its binky taken away.

However, some people might not have the same views as me. When this movie was originally released, it was blocked from being shown in theaters across the world. In the United States, there was backlash. Some theatres refused to show this film because of its dark nature, and others just did not want to because it was risky (which makes complete sense). The producer of the movie, Fox, who is owned by Disney, thought that the movie might ruin Disney's image as a family-friendly company, even though it was run through Fox.

Overall, Jojo Rabbit is a film that shows that even the most flawed of individuals can change their mindset, traits, and even their personality if they are given the right materials to change; in Jojo’s case, it was Elsa who helped him change his identity. When I watch Jojo Rabbit, I like to think of it as a caterpillar going through metamorphosis, because the character development from Jojo is done amazingly and almost seamlessly. The movie's score of 80% on Rotten Tomatoes is a reasonable score just because it is not perfect, but it is done pretty well.
