二战时期,男孩乔乔(戴维斯)和母亲(斯嘉丽)生活在纳粹德国统治下,他不知道母亲在家中藏着一个犹太女孩(麦肯齐),而母亲秘密为抵抗军工作。乔乔渴望加入希特勒青年团,他脑内出了一个颠覆版的希特勒,这个希特勒有魅力、傻傻的、天真可爱,是他的朋友,帮助他应付生活中的困境。

借用网友Rocrw的评论:

首映后全场起立鼓掌,两个多小时笑声就没停过。风格太塔导了,片子以一个小男孩的角度,用诙谐欢快的方式来讲述二战时期纳粹与犹太人的故事。从小朋友的视角来看世界上的偏见与歧视显得尤为讽刺,你可能觉得有些情节很可笑,笑过之后却意识到这就是现实。


我用一晚上看完了这部电影,孩子很可爱,斯嘉丽很美,战争在欢声笑语里好像也没那么恐怖,这不是奥斯维辛集中营,比《穿条纹衣服的男孩》轻松一些,“笑过之后“,更加坚信,不要战争。

来看《乔乔的异想世界》,像乔乔兔一样勇敢生活吧。
