(Before continuing on to the movie review this week of “Annie Hall”, I feel I need to state this. Yes, this is a Woody Allen film. Yes, he is, without a doubt, a scumbag of a human being. However, I throughly enjoyed the movie. This is because separating the art from the artist is a very real thing people can do, no matter how influenced by the artist’s life the art was. I and everyone else in my class did the same thing.

As my professor said before the screening: “This is a film class, not an ethics class; take your scorn elsewhere”. So please do not come to me with anon hate about the fact that I enjoyed this movie. It will be immediately deleted as if you never sent it. (I know most of the regulars around here know not to do that, and know what kind of person I really am, but you never know who might see this 😬)

Anyway! With that disclaimer out of the way, the review is under the cut for those interested! Thank you all for being respectful and chill 😊)

Another week, another movie in film class! Last week’s “Godfather” didn’t give me much to talk about, but good golly did this one! This week we watched “Annie Hall” by Woody Allen, and it was a romantic comedy. Romantic comedies are something I usually don’t watch very often, with the sole exception of “Pretty Woman” and a couple of others. But this one had a lot of tricks up its sleeve to keep me interested!

The movie is about the relationship between Alvy Singer-Allen-and the titular Annie Hall-Diane Keaton-as it rises, falls, rises again, and eventually breaks up amicably. Alvy’s other relationships are also explored briefly to hammer in the point that he seems to be unlucky in love no matter what. We see this relationship out of order, with their awkward first meeting only coming about a third a ways in. We also break the fourth wall pretty frequently, with fantasy sequences woven in here and there by all characters and frequent asides to the camera by Alvy. In the end, they meet each other one last time for dinner, and the whole thing ends surprisingly poignantly with a metaphor involving love and eggs. Trust me, it was way better than it sounded 😂

The screenplay definitely deserved to win an Oscar, as it’s very tightly written and very funny, if odd and cringe worthy occasionally. What didn’t win an Oscar but was amazing, though, was the cinematography, done by the same dude that did “Godfather” funnily enough. It really captured what it must be like to fall in and out of love against the backdrop of a big city. The fantasy sequences and asides, very unusual for a romcom, also make it stand out from a crowd and keep you guessing what strange-but-realism-driven thing would happen next. The movie line scene with a cameo by Marshall McLuan (you can look it up if you want) was a highlight!

I’d say it’s a combination of what “Scenes from a Marriage” and “Ferris Buller’s Day Off” must be like…but I’ve never seen either lol

Keaton deserved the Oscar for playing Annie, bringing just enough of her real self into the role to make her realistic but enhancing everything when needed to make her the prototype “manic pixie dream girl” she is. Some of my classmates thought Alvy was annoying, what with his constant griping and distinctive voice, and I can definitely see why, but…I saw parts of myself in both of them. My positive qualities in Annie’s free-spiritness and definitely my negative ones in Alvy’s anxieties and overthinking. So I can’t bring myself to hate either, or their performances. They truly captured the “nervous romance” of the tagline!

So, yeah! Overall I really liked this movie! It did a lot of things I didn’t expect a romantic comedy too, and in a good way, too. The burden of how horribly its writer/director/lead actor forked up over the years weights heavy on it, make no mistake, but I think despite that it’s aged decently. If you can find it for free somewhere I recommend watching it! Just, y’know, do what I did. As for me, I will be watching it again as soon as I can find that aforementioned free source lol

Next week is “Network”, the origin of the famous “mad as hell” rant! Definitely a very big change from a romcom, but as someone going to school for media and a news reporter myself I can’t wait to see how it is! I’ll be sure to let you all know. In the meantime, hopefully I’ll be on in a few hours to get to threads.

La dee da la dee da…seriously I loved Annie. See you all soon!

My mission if there’s ever a 70s day at college is to dress like her in this gif 😁

#(sorry for the giant disclaimer but I know I needed to put it) #(otherwise I would be aching for the punishment of someone reading this out of context) #(and think I’m praising a movie and I have no idea what its maker has done 🤷‍♀️) #(but!!! I did enjoy it! and have no shame that I did) #STRING PULLER-out of character

Hi, the anon who referred to Thanos as Goofy Grape here!

I just wanted to share this little food for thought, but I was rereading the Crimson Peak novelization a few days ago (the novel points out a lot of things that were left out of the movie ‐ maybe for time restraints idk) and noticed how Del Toro had depicted codependency as a toxic thing as well as depicting incest as something nasty and vile (as it is) and I can't help but compare it to Loki, which did the opposite to both topics. I am curious to if you had seen the movie and if I am not the only one who notices those themes and the presentation of said themes.

haha goofy grape! Damn, it fits him so well 😂 Hi! 👋

I love Crimson Peak. It's so good, Guillermo del Toro is a star and Jessica Chastain has my heart, that woman is absolute perfection. I will forever be mad that the film didn't get nominated at the Oscars.

You're absolutely right and it comes to show that you can have dark themes in your movies and series but they can only work if you frame them correctly. That scene of Tom and Jessica making out is so uncomfortable and we're supposed to feel that way but we can also be sympathetic to them because not only Tom gets to talk about it but more specifically we hear it from her.

We see how she controls him, how he never really breaks free from it even after he meets Edith, we understand why she needs him and it's clear she's a villain but even after everything she does I feel uncomfortable calling her that because she's so complex and tragic... is is too obvious that I love her character? 😂 The great thing about it is that we understand them but we hate what they're doing and the control she has on him is never justified and Del Toro doesn't shy away from it: this is incest, it's wrong, it's toxic, there's nothing romantic or cute about it.

They could have had the same in the series and portrayed that co-dependency between Loki and Sylvie as something wrong, something to avoid and they both could have grown out of it as better people, but Waldron just had to go and romanticize it.... way to ruin it, Mikey. You think he has seen Crimson Peak? I doubt it.

#Guillermo my beloved #Jessica my love

[itsmeatballworld]

this is gonna be my condensed thoughts/feelings as I finally catch up to the most current chapter in bs:a!

@darke15 you’re a genius and I luv youuuu

...

I had to make a new ao3 account after my computer denounced the website 😂😂

…

Okay so from chpts 65-69 I’m high key sweating every two minutes lol

The lying Ghost had to do was insane!! Girl was doing cartwheels dodging Bucky’s questions to the point I was so stressed! I feel so bad for them—I can’t imagine the pain of wanting to share something but knowing the repercussions and fear of the outcome.

But so much good/yummy fluff and smut was weaved through so I’m happy haha

“Did you fuck Captain America?”

“Did you fuck the Winter Soldier?”

^ honestly has to be one of my favorites 😂 I was squealing lmaoo

…

*this next part is dedicated to chpt. 70. And only chpt. 70.*

Exc-UUUSE MEEEE?! Did you wake up and decide on violence, Darke?! I’m IN TEARS. AGONY. DANNY OH MY GOD. I CANT DO THIS. I REFUSE. NO. NOO. NOOOO.

Wow goddamn if that hurt me I can’t imagine how much that hurt you when you wrote this scene. I mean Danny?!? Babes I’m withering in pain, full tears.

…

Chpt 71. What in the HELL IS GOING ON. So many people are getting hurt?! Dune, my loves. The whole team. I’m terrified for this chapter.

Oh my god Wraith is throwing Ghost under the bus as a HYDRA sleeper agent 🫣 what is HAPPENING RN

OKAY NOW WAIT HOLD ON WHAT THE FUKKK

DARKE

My GOD. WTFF.

Ollie?!? OLLIEEE

I was trying to be coordinated when doing this reaction post but NO WAY. NO WAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

He’s—! And I’m just—!

Oliver why—!

oh for the love of god 💀 I’m not strong enough for this

I have to say that Wraith being Ollie was a twisty twist I did NOT plan for. Now that he’s been revealed oh — I see it. Like I reread a quick scene from the early flashbacks and it does make so much sense. He and Ghost had some turbulence <literally lol> but I still am blown away. He’s got such a wild anger towards Ghost.

But now some serious concerns. What in the hell, Ollie?? Like he’s pretending to act like Danny?! BRO THAT IS MESSED UP.

Kinda glad it wasn’t Danny, tbh?? Maybe I’m crazy but I freaking love that man so much. His character and Ghost have been through so much that I’d hate that for them. Plus I picture Oscar Isaac for godsakes I can’t imagine him as my villain I’m sorry 😭😂

…………………. nOw HoLd Up Is DaNnY aCtUaLly DeAd

OH. OH NO. OH NO. NO NO. NOW THE FLASHBACK IS HURTING ME EVEN MORE.

*I took a week long break from reading after that 😭😭😂*

{but also realizing Origins is going into Danny and Ghost so… compromise? *crying continues*}

So, I’m back. Not refreshed — I’m thoroughly feeling bamboozled and stunned by Oliver. Man, he had me fooled 😔

Chpt. 72-73 wowowowow!!!

Bucky is so heartbroken ugh. Again. The lies and deceit have wounded him so deeply I hope he can recover when the truth comes out about Ghost and her working with Aftermath and Dune/Alpha Two…

These snippets into Oliver’s anger and planning is so terrifying. But that’s also a compliment haha. These scenes are so well done I want to punch him. Like real bad. This was supposed to be their friend and coworker Ollie! Not Ollie the Hydra lover 😭

Murder!Ghost is coming out to play 👀 !!

But on a serious note, Ghostie needs a break or she’s gonna snap. All that trauma and pain, without time to heal and process, would make any person crumble. I really hope not but she needs a break. Pronto!

…

Chpt 74, oh how I loved this!! So The Big 🍎 finally knows the truth. And he’s nice and possibly not surprised about Reader being Ghost. Love him. Love him and Boone. God I hope Bucky won’t hate Ghost too much after this!! [also screaming how cute Boone and Steve are *cries in single*].

…

Chpt 75: I love how you write these team dynamics. Like they’ve been through the worst things imaginable and they still got each other’s backs. Now that’s my found family!!!

The heartbreaking realization [again] of what damage had been done to Olympus and the surrounding area is wild. Having Ghost describe it through her eyes was agonizing. Everything being rubble and yet the memorial stone is standing tall... oof the image :( but at least Turner and the family are alive!!

“If Ollie wants to play the hero, I’ll give him a villain.”

-- ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY YESS. This gave me chills ahhhh 

[OO and Novak ditching Wraith?! WHAT IS GOING ON]

...

 Chpt. 76!

I know Bucky is going through it right now, but at least he realized Ghost loves him. And the slight doubt about Ghost being ‘hydra’ is giving me life. Slowly but surely the team is finding this odd, but I’m glad Clint is thinking it through. This web that Ollie created is so insane and I can’t wait for the truth to come out!

Even though the next scene showed a badass machine that Ghost can be (and nearly terrified Bucky again *le sigh*) I have hope this will turn around haha. *sweating intensifies*

Plus, even though the whole Stark Tower/Avengers group was in panic during Ghost’s takedown of Wraith’s base in Kabul, I was thoroughly enjoying that scene <3 Badass Ghostie is fun!

Also Bucky still calls New Eden his ‘home’ so that’s a win, bro!

Ollie calling Ghost an “impulsive psychopath”... boy, please. We need him to look in the mirror hahaha.

...

So... um... chpts 77-78: 

well holy hot damn. I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK. Ain’t nobody touching Amma. No. I’d throw hands, I’m sorry haha. Girly, you had me going nuts like Ollie hurt Amma oh my goodddddddd! Boone was so sweet to get Amma the hell out of dodge. I love her with my whole heart, ugh! Ghost’s reaction to Amma being missing then reuniting with her had me teary ngl

Ghost’s internal monologue in Medellín about the team and who’s bullet holes did those belong to was so heart wrenching. Her panic attack?! Holy crap, my heart hurts so badly for her. All Ghost’s trauma and pain is really coming to a head with all of this stress and it’s making me so sad to see Ghost hurting like this.

“If she’d fought so hard to get away from them, Bucky could get her back”

—> hell fucking yes!

The chaos! Bucky loves Ghost, wants to find Ghost, but is going to make it worse if he does because of Oliver’s ties to the Avengers….. ugh a month went by and I feel like he’s slowly loosing faith in her *cries*

AND YESSSSS THE WEDDING OF THE CENTURY IS GONNA HAPPEN!!!! Jack and Duke are getting married!!!!!!!!!!!! 🥹😭❤️💕

...

Ahhhhaha! Chpt 79:

I am sobbing. This was so perfect and lovely. I needed this. We all needed this. Darke, you needed this. I feel like I fell in love with these characters all over again. What Ghost said during the ceremony had me weeping. And when Danny is brought up, I’m also crying very sad tears lol. 🥹💕

...

*side note: the way you write peter and sam are exceptional! I can really hear their voices come alive <3

** side note 2: just a general declaration that Sam Wilson needs a love interest moving forward in the MCU... like they’re missing out on this man and I’ll fight Marvel haha 😂😂

…

Yikes! It seems my BA in Communications is not paying off 😂 what a messy reaction post lmao. I cannot communicate to save my lifeeeeee

@darke15​, I can’t properly explain how much this whole series has me in a chokehold. You are a phenomenal writer and storyteller!! Seriously I’m always in awe what that brain creates 🖤 thank you for all that you do, lovely!! 

~gigi💕

[twinkodium]

tried to make it a little shorter 🫣 idk if i succeeded 🫣

imagine choosing a job where you only work evenings and weekends, and you still barely even get paid for it 😝 honestly i love working weekends though, idk what i would do otherwise. watch racing probably, and tbh that’s a sad one to miss out on 😕 but i can always watch the replays!

i just found it funny how carlos felt like choosing the calmest guy on the grid to write about, he had so many ppl attack him instantly 😭 it’s like those old tweets of ppl saying oscar is cocky back in dts lmao

i would love to write something about childhood friends to lovers with liam, it’s one of my favorite tropes 🥺 but that daydream is just like so many random thoughts and scenes and just… 🫢 i gotta think of what else of it is share-able shekdhd

blonde oscar!!! bestie i would fall in love all over again… i actually think it’s unfair that his hair doesn’t just belong to me. i could be a very good scalp massager? please?

don’t get me started on the tank tops 😭 he knew what he was doing… he was baiting and he knew we would fall for it….. as if the hair isn’t enough?? it is for me 😶 i try to watch freca as much as i can but it doesn’t always fit into my schedule, but i managed to get all of my family gathered around for race 2 in paul ricard a few weeks ago and i still feel proud of it 😎 well either way, it’s going to be interesting to see how everything plays out, both on the grid and in my heart 🤭

oooo i see!! i feel you on the sleep schedule 🫣 the alpha tauri fight is def going to be interesting the rest of this season lmao. cant wait to see it 🥰

(well uh… idk how pics work in asks but…. 👀i may enjoy these pics too)

You won’t and it’s alright I love to read your long asks 😌 and appreciate the time you put into it to send me one 🥹

Sounds like a hellhole ngl 😭 oh I work a lot too, like very stressful kinda field and the salary 🥴 above average compared to the people around me but it’s below average in European standard.. 😅I need the weekends off to be able to relax finally (ofc racing doesn’t make it easy… ). Any hobbies tho? You could write a lot if you were off on the weekends 🤷🏻‍♀️ YES! Hopefully it’ll be the happy one to watch back 🥺

He really saw Oscar and thought imma going to make him angry and yet Oscar gave no fucks and it’s so damn funny 😂😂😂 tried his best at Zandvoort too 😅 cocky? When? Oscar was in dts?? I’ve never watch it 😂😂😂

I’m most like enemies to lovers but childhood friends to lovers could be so cute too 🥺🥺 those are the best tho, need a little brainstorming but from random thoughts born the best fanfics imo 🫠 you can always send me a message if you don’t want things on dash 👀

Here here I found it!!

Had to go through like 900+ Oscar pics but it was worth it 🥺look at him. Isn’t he damn handsome?? Good luck not falling for him again 😭😭so fluffy and soft just lemme touch it 😩😩

HE WAS SO READY TO MAKE US ALL GO CRAZY 😭😭😭 and he acted all innocent and shit… even put on a hoodie one in a while… such a tease🫣 he has such gorgeous hair too, it’s unfair 😩😩 Yeah, I’d not fit into mine either, that’s why I stopped watching it. There was a weekend last year when I watched three series at the same time 😂 hated when sessions overlapped each other 😅was it a chaotic weekend? Who are your fav Freca drivers? They must be literal babies 🫣 oh my!!! What if Liam beats Oscar in your heart? 😭 you better hand the man over to me in that case 👀😂😂

Gonna be just over 3 hours today it seems 😂 I still have WhatsApp messages to answer but deffo won’t do that now 😭 I can’t wait to see how comes up on top😌

Uffff Liam…. I did notice that he has nice hands back in f2.. 😭 he talks with his hands so it’s impossible not to see 😮‍💨 and since he wears a ring 😩😩😩 that turns up the sexiness volume a notch 🤤🤤🤤 AND THE BICEPS…… ufff he’s deffo more buff than Oscar tho🥵 thanks for sharing babe, always appreciated 😩😩😩

#asks #Jackie 🧡 #buttercup 🥰 #not so pg stuff #be aware sexy hand content at the bottom 😌😌 #Oscar #Liam

[otomelavenderhaze]

did you like the first approach with rayan in ul? or would you have liked them to get to know each other differently?

I loved it. The Oscar Wilde quote? 🥵🥵🥵 Candy recongzing it and Rayan feeling like they connected almost immediately? The tension? The spark of it?

I kinda understand WHY they went for "first sight love" for his route (despite being one of my least all time favorites types tropes, it only loses for dead girlfriend/wife, my all time hated trope) and it makes sense I guess, Rayan is a very romantic character, every aspect of his route have a very sweet, mellow, almost comedy-movie like type of romance.

But I don't hate how they made it, actually, because Rayan simply didn't created a preconceived image of Candy from the start, he actually took his time to let her know him and to know her better, that's why he kept asking permission and finding excuses to be around her - so much so that he was ready to drop his job at Anteros just to stop being her professor and not having to sneak around with her all the time.

I often read other's people head canon about alternative scenarios of them meeting, but I don't think, for Rayan's character and for the proposition of his route (like the type of route that he has) that the outcome or even the way he would behave would be any different in the end - like you can switch the place and he would still fell for her at first sight, because it's within his character, it makes sense, it's just the way he is.

Maybe since I have been invested in the canon so much I can't really see how I would change it?

I like how simply it is too, no elaborated scene, no twist, very out of their control, very destiny-like, that's also why his route work so well - because in the end of the day, it wasn't just sexual tension, it was he genuinely fell in love with her and despite all things against his feelings, in the end he chose her and it could only be her in his eyes (very "Pride and Prejudice" of him even 😂😂).

#maybe that's why I love it so much #it throws me back to Mr Darcy #DAMN #I HATE IT #IT'S BEEN YEARS #how i cannot get over Mr Darcy no matter what #Jane Austen broke me #personal #ask #I have pride and prejudice brain rot y'all

TWW REWATCH: Shibboleth (2.08)

• previously on the west wing: let’s all say our names, again! that usually means the episode they’re doing doesn’t draw on past episodes but if that’s the case they should just start with the title card? They’ve done that in the past so I don’t get it 🤷🏽‍♀️

• god my brain could not figure out if this was a thanksgiving episode and it is!

• oh my god yessss the turkeysss 😂

• “CJ handles all the...birds.”

• ok unrelated to this episode but Leo says he’s spending thanksgiving with the first family and I really wish we had more scenes with Bartlet’s family I get that’s not the main focus of this show but it would’ve been nice to see his daughters a little more particularly Ellie and Liz ok that’s all I’m saying on that

• “We’d prefer to watch football rather than listen to a history of the yam in Latin.”

God I hate football so much I’d rather take the history of the yam

• it’s funny cause the blinds in CJs office are open and Carol was already there so how did she not see the birds in the office? 😂

• oh just kidding she already knew

• I love Donna running up “wait wait wait wait wait wait I’m coming!”

• actually this whole scene with CJ and Donna is gold

• gOD THIS IS RHE KNIFE EPISODE ???? FUCK IVE LITERALLY FORGOTTEN THIS ENTIRE EPISODE EGOD SDAMMIT

• it’s so unrealistic that CJ doesn’t know about the turkey pardoning or any of the thanksgiving traditions she has to do but it’s still funny

• mary marsh!!! blecjhhshdhhs 🤢

• “Not now, right now I have you know actual serious work to do.”

*flashes camera at turkey’s*

• “Troy, I want you to know it was neck and neck, but I’m giving it to Eric.”

• ha I just realized CJs desk is covered with cloth and bird sees everywhere. Also where did she put Gail?

• Josh and Toby are worried Bartlet will invite them to thanksgiving dinner when he realizes they aren’t really doing anything, and Leo keeps telling them the President doesn’t care what you’re doing, but I feel like it would be in typical Bartlet fashion to invite people to thanksgiving dinner if he knew they were doing nothing. I think the only thing that would stop him is Abbey. Maybe not though.

• CJs reaction to Toby inviting her to thanksgiving

“It’s about damn time you asked me! I have been sitting here for two weeks turning down all kinds of very glamorous invitations from people I like a lot more than you! You can’t just ask a girl at the last minute to just...

“Well if you can’t come...”

“No I can come, I can come, I can come!”

So cute

• I love how attached CJ gets to the turkeys

“Yes and I chose Eric cause Troy doesn’t like to be touched which, surely, we’re not gonna execute him for!”

• “Maybe after the ceremony you can get one the fourth graders to come in and show you how to use the intercom.”

This is, hands down, my favorite Mrs. Landingham line. It’s cracks me up every time. It’s funny but also incredibly savage

• and then I CRY because the KNIFE and “I’m proud of you Charlie”

• “They sent me two turkeys. The more photo friendly of the two gets a presidential pardon and a full life at a children’s zoo. The runner up gets eaten.”

“If the Oscars were like that, I’d watch.”

• “You can’t pardon a turkey?” Oh Donna

• CJ has to play a lute?! That’s hilarious

• wait the thanksgiving speech Bartlet’s giving talks about how the pilgrims “sought out a place in the new world where they could worship according to their own beliefs.” and that’s exactly what the Chinese refugees did. Why did I never make that connection....

• ....bro I’m fucking dumb goodnight

JOJO RABBIT: 10 Thoughts Or Observations

You know it is that time of year when we, the #filmfolks, finally get to be excited about movies without looking like total freaks! Sure thing Bob, it is Christmas season BUT above all else, it is award season (basically your cinephile Xmas season! And things cannot be better as we will now have that big O happening earlier in February - Well ideally it should come in even closer to Christmas considering release date deadline for FYC films is often December 25th...But who are we to judge ;) ) So, anyway, this brings us to today's movie, that, like few others from the festival circuit, will make you “believe the hype” of early award buzz and praisin': Taika Waititi latest oddity or "mischievous comedy" JOJO RABIT.

It is the story of ten-year-old boy Johannes "Jojo" Betzler, portrayed by Roman Griffin Davis set during WII in Nazi Germany. He lives with his mother Rosie (Scarlett Johansson) who is taking care of him by herself while his father is either fighting the war, missing or simply deserted. The thing is Jojo is well, a fanatic his imaginary friend is no other than the führer himself...But a bonkers and silly version of him played with great irony by the Maori Jew director! Jojo and his best friend ( scene-stealer newcomer Archie Yates) go to a sort of nazi scout camp for kids where they will train to be a good soldier under the "supervision" of incompetent and goofy adults played by Sam Rockwell, Rebel Wilson, Alfie Allen. Of course, there is a twist 

#spoiler

He will discover a Jewish girl, Thomasin McKenzie's Elsa, hidden in his house, and his life will be turned upside down as the war his coming to a devastating ending.

Unfortunately for those of us tired of conventional WWII drama & co, or stories, JOJO RABBIT is, in part, and under the coat of fresh and fun paint, deja-vu. However, its other part is like nothing we've seen before, somewhere between action-adventure shenanigans lead by a funky kid like in HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE, and, a movie filled witty banters and deadpan humor like What WE DO IN THE SHADOW. So you can say it a Waititi alright alright alright! 

There are so many things to be said about what JOJO RABBIT represents and its theme. It is such an incredibly interesting movie deserving of all praises for its creativity and solid acting. Yet, “Oscar speaking” some of us are not really seeing how this can happen even though it is 100% deserving a spot in the spotlight... But a win is somewhat highly improbable (well, stranger things have happened😅!) We are not so sure how people believe in this possibility especially since it is the kind of movie the “green book crowd” might not approve of, just because 🙉🙈🙊). 

In addition, many were quick to call it an anti-hate movie, and maybe it was designed as such, but it is simply a brilliant satire closer to THE DEATH OF STALIN than a typical anti-hate movie which might be reductive to both JOJO RABBIT and projects that exist with the sole purpose of informing or education about hate and tolerance.

That being said the film surely is a crowd-pleaser and has so much to offer, and after watching it, one would be thinking about so many aspects and things that make it such a unique piece of modern Cinema, timeless yet so contemporary.

So here we go;10 thoughts, observations, or maybe reasons to watch JOJO RABBIT tonight or anytime soon!

1. Fun factor: JOJO RABBIT is a movie that will make you laugh for real 😂 So considering this happens rarely for some of us, that’s GOOD!

Sure, it gets a bit silly sometimes - as in maybe it is rightfully made to also appeal to people like Jojo, 10 years old kids mature enough to understand the concept at play and the bulk of their complexities - but the humor is at the same time very simple and clever too.

2-3. Related: Never thought how fun and funny listening to someone mispronounce “hiteler” and having the guy pointing that same fact could be! Or even the hilarity of witnessing obnoxious "hailing" round and hailing of hitler's name all kinds of cray-cray manner. And all this happening in a easy-going not “outrage culture “ kind of way! Just a “bon enfant” tone and mild “nazi jokes” type. Who would have thought! *But please, no matter how tempting it is for caricature purposes, let’s not dress up as such for a Halloween or under any circumstance, pretending to be Taikaka in JOJO RABBIT, because no matter how "non-racist" one might be, not so sure the effect will be the same IRL without context, or if people will get it without being rightfully alarmed or distressed. 

4. This brings us to much valid criticism of the film depiction of "nice nazi" being dangerous thing particularly in a troubling year like 2019... But if one were to be objective and no anal about everything they will know there is no malicious intent behind JOJO RABBIT.

5. Performance part 1: The kids were absolutely "everything" with Jojo being "the most" and Korgi (aka 'I am just a kid in a fat kid body' dude!) being the best friend ever! Their camaraderie / bromance will warm the coldest-hearted folks! ( and it will make you wanna be a kid again just like you felt after watching GOOD BOYS ;) )

6. Performance part 2: So Johansson attempt at being funny (more like "being fun") was not totally convincing but it works “charmingly”!

7. Performance part 3: Sam Rockwell back at it again! The lad is yet again playing another morally dubious character/notably racist pos ("but with a heart" they say...So we're supposed to feel empathy for his character, but c'mon, seriously, F that guy he is playing no!?): CHECK ✅

8. The visual: Some scenes were actually visually impressive and the musical choice was much appreciated but one can only wish they really went full-blown mode with the psychedelism of it all.

9. The story: Not only "the package" looks interesting and out of the ordinary but the content is also very unique. So, again the creativity of it all is *chef kiss 😚

10. Taika Waititi. 🙌 (might deserve a supporting actor nod, director nod, writer nod, producer nod, and a rad human medal!)

MORAL OF THE STORY: 7.5-8 ***** 

Highly recommend for all ages and movie taste 👍

That is all 😜
