Jojo Rabbit

"life is a gift, we must celebrate it. we have to dance, to show god we are grateful to be alive." I cannot believe I was ever subjected to watching this movie in class, I mean I love this movie so much it's genuinely such a beautiful movie and oh how I love taika waititi films and taika waititi himself. "dancing is for people who are free, it's an escape from all this." dancing being a representation of freedom is such a beautiful thing, dancing has always seemed like such a freeing action, and that is how dancing is represented, they dance to show that they are free. *"what's the first thing you're gonna do when you're free?" "dance."* rosie is such a deep and meaningful character, she is a beautiful person and a nice, kind and caring one. the way the colour drastically changed right before we see her death, setting an eerie tone before we even know what has happened, and then the focus being the butterfly as to throw us off guard. "what do we do now?" the end scene is so cinematic, the way the music slowly fades in, the fact that the song was heroes by david bowie, the way they start dancing before you can actually hear the music, they are free.
