JoJo Rabbit Movie Review
https://www.20thcenturystudios.com/movies/jojo-rabbit

Written and Directed by Taika Waititi this World War ll satire about a young German boy who has an imaginary friend who happens to be Adolf Hitler. Taika Waititi's humor and pathos within JoJo Rabbit creates an awareness of blind nationalism.

I will be talking about three points of this film; the overall theme of the film, my personal thoughts of the movie, and how the director made it a satire.

Since the film is staged during World War ll the audience can be very aware of the terrors that were brought about by Nazi Germans. With the main character of the film being a young ten year old boy it makes the audience question if we should judge certain people just based on their uniform or even their blind nationalism. Watching a young boy learn and realize that people hurt people and judging others just off false information or not personal experience can create a false reality. JoJo, the young German boy, seems to trust completely what his country says and believes blindly with the Nazi's though his is so young. It is very easy to see how Nazi Germany trained and brainwashed their youth in hopes to control them.

Personally, I already knew a background of the war and all the terrible things that took place at that time. As you may know the saying "time repeats itself" which I believe completely because certain things I see today match methods Adolf Hitler did in order to take over the world. Mainly on the aspects of false news or information in hopes to trick people into believing certain ideas.

I really enjoyed this film because of its use of humor to poke fun to Adolf Hitler and how the government trained the kids. I think the main message of the film it to not always believe what you are told and to learn to not hate just to hate. One part of the film which I thought was very humorous was when the kids were at Hitler Youth camp and the officers were explaining what the boys and girls will learn. The ridiculous teachings and when having young Jojo being made fun of creates a very satirical film over all.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
