Welcome to 'Screen On The Green' Tewin
Next film night is Monday 17th November
We are showing - "JoJo Rabbit (2019), a black comedy lampooning the Nazi regime in the last few weeks of the Second World War. It stars Scarlett , Ronan Griffin Davis, Sam Rockwell and Rebel Wilson and was directed by Taika Waititi
There are several poignant scenes of the times but mostly it is a tale of ordinary German people trying to cope with the world around them. It is told through the eyes of JoJo, a ten year old boy eager to join the Hitler Youth, only to discover that his mother is sheltering a young Jewish girl in the loft of their house. The film derides the Nazi propaganda about Jews by taking it to ridiculous levels. Like many children, JoJo has an imaginary friend, who in this case, manifests himself as Hitler.
JoJo Rabbit won various accolades including Oscar and Golden Globe nominations and the score is an interesting mix of classical and popular musical themes.
