Personally, Jojo Rabbit was a great watch. Initally, i was a bit skeptical as I didn't think it was possible for someone to write a comedy set in Germany in WW2. But I was wrong. The story goes that a 10 year old boy, Johannes Betzler (Roman Griffin Davis) a young boy who strives to be the best soldier he can be, but Johannes also has a imaginary friend, none other than the Fuhrer himself (Taika Watiti), and his best friend Yorkie (Archie Yates). Jojo (Johannes) goes on many adventures and sees WW2 through, well, a child's eyes! Jojo's mother Rosie (Scarlett Johansson) doesn't exactly approve of his dreams to be a soldier fighting on the fronts for the Fatherland, but despite this, she still loves him dearly, and encourages him to appreciate life a little more. Jojo's father isn't currently with him as he's fighting in Italy, Jojo tries his best to be like his father, and do what he's doing. When Jojo blows himself up with a hand grenade, he is moved out of training until he recovers, Jojo watches the other boys training and starts to feel a bit useless, so he starts to get day jobs so he can feel better. This is a great film with drama, comedy and heartfelt moments. Overall a 10/10!
