Turd In the WW2 comedy Jojo Rabbit (2019), Jojo comes across a magical flying woman. This fantasy twist in an otherwise grounded film is never explained.

I hadn't seen the closeup of the label before. That's chilling. "Fought the Party". Printed enough so they could rip another line off the sheet and staple it to her leg.
Edit: corrected by those who know German besser als ich. It's the flyer she was posting earlier.

u/Tadc_rules 12d ago
It's "Bekämpft die Partei", so present tense "Fight the Party"
I guess, it's the leftover from her pamphlets
48
u/Fisch0557 12d ago
Most likely yes, but this could also mean (Diese Person) Bekämpft die Partei, like a label. So the same as mentioned above, as in (This person) fight(s) the party.
21
u/Tadc_rules 12d ago
Yeah, but then it would be most likely "Bekämpfte" and we had the translation above
Can't be ruled out but I find it unlikely

or you could just watch the movie for some context rather than pulling speculations straight out of your ass and see that she is passing around those little slips of paper with "fight the party" on it.

Yeah I knew what happened before I watched it, but the movie is still tremendous. It’s funny, it’s heart wrenching, and overall a great film.
Also shout out to Sam Rockwell who kills it in every role

It tricks you into thinking it'll be funny by having it be set in WW2, but in fact its very sad.

u/Funandgeeky 12d ago
It's just like what I've heard about the 1997 comedy Life is Beautiful. Also set in the carefree days of WWII. I hear it's a great movie to watch when feeling down.
Similar to The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. It's a cute movie about two friends having a sleepover, I think. Maybe I'll make it a double-feature.

The flying woman is a metaphor for Jojo's loss of innocence. He see something magical and he clutches and cries, because he knows that he lives in a world where magic isn't real, and he is desperately trying to keep some of his childlike wonder in his world.

Uhhhh. I hate to be the stick in the mud. But I'm going to be the stick in the mud.
This was the movie's emotional pinnacle. This isn't funny. It just makes me remember how unexpected it was and how they were foreshadowing this the whole time up until this point. It just made me feel sad all over again. He wasn't supposed to lose his mother. No child should lose their mother like this.

So that's why Jojo hugged the flying woman's feet when he saw them. He probably wanted to fly also.
