Abstract

The film, Jojo Rabbit portrays Roman Griffin Davis as Johannes Betzler (Jojo Rabbit), who is a member of Hitler Youth Camp. He found that Scarlett Johnsson (his mother) is hiding Thomasin McKenzie (a Jewish Girl) in their house.

So, the story portrays around a ten year Johannes Betzler, who was the son of the Germans and his father was fighting in Italy. He was under the care of his mother Rosie and with Inge, his elder sister who got passed away due to illness.

He decided to attend the nazi youth Camp run by the Captain Klenzendorf. Captain Klenzendorf has a very trustworthy assistant, Fraulein Rahm, and Freddy Finkel took the policies of Nazi’s in a slightly different direction.

Jojo found himself different despite being considered as the outsider, from the others in the camp as he was guided by the spirit of Adolf Hitler – Der Fuhrer. He was supported by him in general day to day life as well as in the camp also.

Jojo hates Jewish people very much even though he doesn’t know anything about them and even not met anyone of them. He has a goal to kill all of them. When Jojo met a Jewish person, he was thinking of what to do now.

He believes that he is a Nazi and doesn’t even know what it really means. He has to choose whether to kill Jewish people following the hatred he was taught knowing that killing is not a true nature or not. This may have many huge consequences on the relations of the family.

Later on, he got to know the person labeled behind Jewish. Now, what will Jojo do? Will he kill the Jewish ones or his hatred gets converted?
