  • Jojo Rabbit (Dir: Taika Waititi, 2019)
    The past is never dead. It's not even past NOT EVEN PAST Search the site ... Film Review – Jojo Rabbit (Dir: Taika Waititi, 2019) Like 0 Tweet by Jon Buchleiter “Jojo Rabbit” is deeply imbued with irony. The lm joins a long lineage of lms using humor to satirize Nazi Germany. Although Taika Waititi treads a worn path in this respect, “Jojo” tells a story with a much younger and more innocent protagonist than Mel Brooks’ “The Producers” or Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Basterds.” Waititi adapted “Jojo” from Christine Leunens’ Caging Skies, which is itself a stirring story of World War II and the power of disinformation. However, Waititi, in signature style, employs a mixture of sarcasm and sadness to tell the story of a boy learning about love and the harms of blind hatred. Rather than try to tackle all of the Third Reich’s atrocities, Waititi instead hones in on the dangers of demagogy through the eyes of bright-eyed, ten-year- old Johannes “Jojo” Betzler (Roman Grin Davis). Roman Grin Davis in Jojo Rabbit, © 2019 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation All Rights Reserved (via IMDB) The opening scene shows Jojo, eagerly preparing to attend a Hitler Youth training camp in 1944. Talking to his reection in the mirror, Jojo speaks of how he will “become a man” today. Yet, for all his bluster, he is riddled with nerves as he heads off. At camp, his reluctance to to demonstrate his bravery by killing a bunny earns him the mocking moniker Jojo Rabbit. During times of doubt, Jojo turns to his imaginary friend, a cartoonish Adolf Hitler (played by Taika Waititi himself) for encouragement.

  • The Script Had to Break out of All This and Be Able to fly with Its Own Wings
    FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY Screenplay by TAIKA WAITITI Based on the Book “CAGING SKIES” by Christine Leunens -HATE SATIRE AN ANTI BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY Screenplay by TAIKA WAITITI Based on the Book “CAGING SKIES” by Christine Leunens FOREWORD After receiving an email from Taika Waititi in 2010 about the possibility of a film option on my novel Caging Skies, the first thing I did was watch his short films, “Tama Tū” and “Two Cars, One Night.” Afterwards, I went to the cinemas to watch Boy. His fine balancing act between drama and humour convinced me that we were coming from the same place artistically. I can still see him putting his arms behind his head and his feet up on the desk as he observed the sea view from the oce we were meeting in for the first time. Funny, down-to-earth, refreshingly spontaneous, it was just Taika being Taika. That day, he explained to me how he saw the film and what parts of the book he would focus on. My main concern was that I’d seen film adaptations so faithful to the book that they somehow ended up unfaithful in essence, despite the well-meaning intentions. The challenge is that a book doesn’t go directly from the book to the screen; it goes page to page. Taika’s script had much to take from the book, yet it also had to escape it in order to come fully to life in its own medium. A reader spends a comparatively long time in there on his or her own, days or even weeks, in the dense chrysalis of prose, experiencing the emotions of the story while oblivious to the world.

Sin ir más lejos, son hilarantes las escenas en las que el protagonista, Jojo, conversa con un Hitler (encarnado por el propio director), en diferentes insertos a lo largo de la historia, que hace las veces de amigo imaginario. Estos rasgos nos sumergen en una de las mejores y audaces propuestas críticas del totalitarismo nazi tan necesarias en los tiempos que corren. En la primera parte del filme, nos presenta a Jojo (un excelente Román Griffin David) quien a sus 10 años va a un campo de entrenamiento para convertirse “en un hombre”; orgulloso y feliz con su uniforme de las Juventudes Hitlerianas. En casa queda su madre, Rosie (Scarlett Johansson), cuyo marido no se sabe muy bien si se encuentra en el frente o huido.
