Jojo, who has fallen in love with her, lies and says Germany to keep her from leaving.
When the President of the United States is tweeting an imaginary “legal notice” of intent to bomb other countries, and when he announces and repeats his intention to target cultural sites, which is a war crime, and when he sincerely believes that this is the best way to be President, we would prefer to think that, in global history and politics, the absurd cannot be tragic and the tragic cannot be absurd. Jojo Rabbit is truly heartwrenching at times, and the final scene, while also slightly silly, shows the town reeling and trying to come back from a horrific war. She knees him in the balls and tells him to make Jojo feel included like all the other boys – but technically, Jojo can’t serve with the Hitler youth militia due to his injuries. Warning: You may lose the entire afternoon reading old spoilers!


Jojo believes the false anti-Jewish propaganda and thinks Elsa has demonic traits and evil intentions. In the city, Jojo runs into Yorki, now a full soldier, who tells him that the Americans are closing in and that Hitler killed himself. The Gestapo demands her papers, which she produces – Klezendorf asks her to confirm her birthday, which she does, and they leave.

He agrees not to tell anyone about her but insists on interviewing her for details on the Jews that he is going to write into a book to help the Nazis. The only actual feat of heroism in the movie—the only act that involves sacrifice and has consequences—is committed by Captain Klenzendorf (Sam Rockwell), a gay Nazi who, decked out in his end-of-days uniform adorned with red fringe, spits at Jojo and calls him a “dirty Jew” in order to save him from being executed by Russian soldiers, who, in short order, open fire on Klenzendorf and others. Jojo can’t do it, and so the boys start chanting “Jojo Rabbit”, and Jojo runs away.

*SPOILER REQUEST*

Jojo panics, knowing Elsa is upstairs.

The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia.

Devastated, he returns home and stabs Elsa in the shoulder, then breaks down again.

“You hate your country that much?” Rosie explains, “I love my country.

Let’s eat.” Imaginary Hitler is at the table with them, but only Jojo can see him. The soldiers remove Jojo, who screams as Klezendorf is executed. There is the scene in which Jojo and his mother, Rosie (Scarlett Johansson), play out a version of many Americans’ holiday-dinner experiences. In Jojo Rabbit, the version the pair dance to is in German, as is the version of The Beatles's "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" in the opening credits. The protagonist, Jojo (Roman Griffin Davis), has an imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler. Jojo is relieved, and Elsa tells him that she got the date wrong on the papers – Klezendorf let them go.

Your guide to the latest plot twists and surprise endings, now playing at a theater near you! Jojo Betzler (Roman Griffin Davis) is a ten-year-old boy in Nazi Germany during the second world war. In the two square, Jojo and his mother see the hanging bodies of victims of the Gestapo. Unable to report her for fear of endangering his mother, Jojo begins interviewing Elsa to learn more about the Jews to please Hitler. His mother, Rosie (Scarlett Johansson), takes him home to recuperate. Jojo pretends to get a letter from the boyfriend and reads it to her, breaking up with her. When he goes home, he searches around his house and finds a secret compartment and discovers Elsa Korr (Thomasin McKenzie), a teenage Jewish girl hiding inside. Jojo is shocked, and sees Rahm arming more children as the battle wages – she gives him a Nazi coat. Up to about the middle of the movie, the jokes are palatable and the parallels to the present day are clear. Spoiler alert: resistance proves to be not only deathly dangerous but also ineffectual. The use of anachronistic pop music l ends the film a level of out-of-time modernity that fits its aesthetic and Waititi's humor, but the dancing itself is the climax to a hard-won battle for Jojo and Elsa.
