Taika Waititi’s Oscar-winning film blends humor, heartbreak, and a powerful message.

Released in 2019, Jojo Rabbit is a dark comedy-drama directed by Taika Waititi that takes a unique and daring approach to storytelling. Set in Nazi Germany during the final days of World War II, the film follows Jojo Betzler, a 10-year-old boy who idolizes Adolf Hitler — until he discovers that his mother is hiding a Jewish girl named Elsa in their home. With his imaginary friend, a childlike version of Hitler (played by Waititi himself), Jojo embarks on a journey that challenges his beliefs and forces him to see the world in a new light.

A Unique Blend of Satire and Emotion

Jojo Rabbit employs satire to expose the absurdity of blind nationalism, using humor as a tool to critique the dangers of propaganda. The film is both hilarious and deeply moving, a balance that helped it earn critical acclaim and the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Beyond its humor, the film delivers heartbreaking moments — especially surrounding Jojo’s mother, Rosie (Scarlett Johansson). Her tragic fate, being executed for resisting the Nazi regime, serves as a pivotal moment in Jojo’s transformation. The shocking scene, where Jojo finds his mother in the town square is one of the most emotionally devastating moments in the film.
