    In Captain K and Finkel costumes at the end you can see a pink triangle. Nazis used that symbol to identify prisoners arrested for homosexuality.
    They had a secret of their own which is why they helped Jojo, and in that gestapo scene K knows Jojo's mother has been killed, thats why he goes running at his house with the mother's bike (I think) to protect Jojo.

      Also gay people were still imprisoned after the war ended, and left off of early holocaust memorials. So even if he had survived the war, the fact that he covered himself in pink triangles meant that he would have just gone straight to prison, which makes me think they never intended to survive that battle, and the fact that he could save Jojo was a nice extra.

    What they did with Captain K was so well done but so subtle. The moments between him and Finkel imply their relationship and it's confirmed by the pink triangle he's wearing at the end. it's also kind of implied that he's actively trying to sabotage the Hitler youth unit. Plus when he goes to their house it's on Rosie's bike so he was going specifically to make sure Jojo was okay and then he covered for them too, and as a gay Nazi soldier it's pretty obvious why he would help them out. Then on top of all that, at the end he saves Jojo. I get the impression he wasn't as actively involved in the resistance or helping Jews as Rosie was and was more concerned about keeping himself and Finkel safe and I think he really admired Rosie's determination to help people and that's part of what inspired him to save Jojo the way he did. I also get the impression that him and Rosie were pretty close and wouldn't be surprised if Rosie knew about his "proclivities", because while he is demoted he's still technically in a position of authority but that doesn't stop her from scolding him, as if they know each other pretty well and she trusted him to keep Jojo safe, like leaving your son with a close friend or relative. But some of this I didn't even catch on my first watch, really impressive way of giving a character a lot of depth without actually saying that much.

    • @caitlinhogan5258
      @caitlinhogan5258 3 роки тому +69

      Yeah I think that like Rosie, he was ‘doing what he could’ it was just within tighter limitations, and maybe in a bit more pessimistic way. I also like that his and Finkel’s final uniforms are modified enough to imply that they are not really Nazis ideologically. In the same way that Jojo starts to wear more casual clothes as he becomes de-indoctrinated, and then Rebel Wilson’s fanatical character puts a uniform on him, then Captain K rips it off, and he never wears it again.

    Waititi deliberately did no research on Hitler before writing the film, saying he didn't deserve it. But funnily enough, the scene where he's inexplicably wearing a Native American headdress could actually be seen to play into how Hitler was obsessed with pulp western stories as a kid.

"Colonization," "conquest" and "subjugation" has been tantamount to the HUMAN experience and not just Europeans moving to the New World. Native America tribes were conquering other Native American tribes long before Columbus (or even Leif Erikson) ever stepped foot in North America or the Carribbean. In fact, the Huns had a long history of this -- both as conquerors and would-be conquered.

      @@Spongebrain97 - How do you know this? In MEIN KAMPF, Hitler mentions European continental history -- especially the Greeks, Romans and Huns. He even mentions Islamic encroachment into Europe (before the Crusades).
      I've never seen any indication that the Monster of Berlin even cited European colonization into the New World as a motivation for conquering the rest of Europe.
      There was a law professor who wrote a book about a theory that the Nazis (and not Hitler in particularly) potentially studied discrimination in America as something either as a primer or perogative in their dealing with Jews, Gypsies, etc.
      However, that book itself was loudly criticized for lacking any historical proof (and, indeed, the author only mentions Native Americans in 11 pages -- but none within any sort of concrete historical citations). It was largely relying upon the "it's common knowledge" fallacy.
      More importantly, Nazis looked at racial laws around the world. Since (especially at that time) the U.S. was the most racially diverse nation on the planet, it effectively would have been the most notable primer to consider.
      The Nazi solution was to actually ship off non-Germans to other parts of the world. There are radical conspiracy theories all over Europe and the Soviet Union about Jews at the time (i.e., controlling and colluding as bankers/moneylenders, media moguls, jewelers, etc.), Gypsies (i.e., inherently crooked and untrustworthy on a genetic level), Slavs and Polish (i.e., unintelligent). The Nazi solution initially was expelling Jews and Gypsies and subjugating Slavs and Polish. Eventually, they turned to a genocidal "solution."
      If the Nazis indeed studied European colonization into the New World and cohabitation of native tribes with European colonizers, then they came to view the American way as wrong. Nazis chose genocide and official "eugenics" and "conspiracy" propaganda.

    The film is so brilliant at its subtle storytelling/foreshadowing. You're absolutely right about Rosie's shoes being focussed on so much so we'd recognise them in that moment. The film also signposts her death when the Gestapo are at the house because Captain K rushes in with her bike. She's already dead at that point, the Gestapo are there trying to find more information on her Resistance work, and Captain K either saw her body or knew she'd been caught and was trying to get back the house before they did to protect Jojo.

    The outfit Captain K dons for the last fight, in the scene where he saves Jojo, you can see a small pink triangle on his right breast pocket. His own addition, no doubt, but the pink triangle was used by Nazis to represent homosexuals. Relationship between him and Finkel unconfirmed, but extremely likely given the hints and this costume addition. Overall, it seems like he was a good man, trapped in a terrible situation, forced to become something other than himself in order to survive. By the end of it, he was in too deep to escape, but at least went out as himself.

    Something i really love about that movie, his imaginary friend Hitler is evolving with the state of the war, where he is less friendly and more of a dick over time. It's like his mind clear more and more of the propaganda over time, until he get rid of him ! It's like the death of childhood too...When you think about it, it's genius ! Also i love that they show how goffy and ridiculous with their image the Nazi were really with Sam Rockwell and his crazy outfit at the end...There is a reason why the Nazi were not taken seriously for a while by the rest of the world !

    What had me fighting tears and failing was JoJo finally tiring a shoelace' his mother's whilst she hung on the gallows. Absolutely heartbreaking. The most uplifting heartwarming piece is when they danced at the end. Echoing what his mother said about 'freedom' then Bowie's track commenced in German. Bloody perfect! Best film for many a year. Deserves more recognition.

    It is adapted from a book called Caging Skies. Waititi converted the story and won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. It's become one of my top movies because it is SO disarming and it is SO layered.
    My mother was born and raised in Nazi Germany. She was about JoJos age at the end of the war. And she had Jewish friends and a Jewish name mother, which means she basically has a Jewish name herself. She too, was part of the female equivalent of Hitler Youth, you didn't have options otherwise. My grandfather was conscripted and never came home - indeed we found the first picture we have ever seen of him two weeks ago. Her family members were no fans of the Nazi regime.
    Anyway, because her life mirrored JoJos so closely I must say that this movie hits like a wrecking ball. The final scene when the Americans arrive, in particular. My mother has always said that "the day the American tanks rolled into town was the happiest day of my life."
    I've heard it said before "the first country the Nazis invaded was Germany." Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
