Where is the line between comedy and offense? Does dark humour serve a deeper purpose? Can laughter be a form of healing, or does it sometimes cross into dangerous territory? Join us for a Watch & Talk hosted by Leon, a psychologist and passionate movie fan, as we explore these questions through the lens of Jojo Rabbit. We'll watch and discuss handpicked scenes from this bold, controversial, and surprisingly heartwarming film that challenged audiences around the world.

 

Set during World War II, Jojo Rabbit tells the story of a lonely German boy whose imaginary friend is none other than a comically absurd version of Adolf Hitler. Balancing satire, heartbreak, and humour, the film sparked intense debate about whether it was brilliant or inappropriate — yet many praised its ability to find humanity and absurdity even in the darkest chapters of history. Together, we’ll dive into what defines dark comedy, where (if anywhere) the line should be drawn, and how filmmakers like Taika Waititi use humour as both shield and sword.

 

Let’s sit back with good friends in comfy chairs as we sip on stiff cocktails, eat tasty popcorn, and watch scenes from a daring film that redefined boundaries in modern cinema. And, of course, let's have a deep, fun, and intelligent discussion about our mutual cinematic journey!

 

喜剧和冒犯之间，界限到底在哪里？黑色幽默是不是在表达更深的东西？笑声能成为一种疗愈，还是有时候也可能变得危险？这次的Watch & Talk，由心理学家兼资深爱好电影的Leon带队，我们会围绕电影《乔乔的异想世界》，一起讨论这些问题。活动现场会放映并细聊这部大胆、充满争议、却又意外温暖的电影中挑选的精彩片段，感受它如何挑战了全球观众的认知。

 

影片背景设定在二战时期，讲述了一个孤独的德国小男孩，与他脑海中那个荒诞搞笑版“希特勒”的故事。它用讽刺、心碎与幽默交织出独特的叙事风格，引发了关于“天才”还是“越界”的激烈讨论。但也有很多人称赞它在黑暗历史中，依然挖掘出人性的温度和荒谬感。我们将一起深入探讨什么是黑色喜剧，界限应不应该存在，以及像Taika Waititi这样的导演是如何用幽默做盾牌，也是武器。

 

准备好和好朋友们一起窝在舒适的座椅里，喝点小酒、吃爆米花，边看片边聊聊吧！这是一场轻松又深刻的观影之旅，等你来一起开启。
