The film's central thesis explicitly critiques the dehumanizing and destructive nature of fascist ideology and antisemitism, championing empathy, individual conscience, and love as the solution to overcome hatred and prejudice. This direct condemnation of an extreme right-wing system and promotion of anti-racist values aligns with a clearly left-leaning perspective.
Jojo Rabbit features a historically accurate, predominantly white cast without explicit race or gender swaps. However, its narrative delivers a powerful and explicit critique of the hateful ideology of Nazism, championing anti-discrimination and anti-hate through its central themes and character arcs.
Taika Waititi, who is Māori and Jewish, portrays Adolf Hitler, a historically white figure, as Jojo's imaginary friend. This portrayal of a historically established character by an actor of a different race constitutes a race swap.
Jojo Rabbit does not feature any explicitly identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers on other forms of prejudice and the impact of war, leaving LGBTQ+ representation outside its scope.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film adapts the novel "Caging Skies" and portrays its characters with the same genders as established in the source material. No significant character's gender was altered from prior canon or historical record.
