They discuss the complications with melding comedic undertones and drama while trying to present the events of World War II in a new light. The film is meant to remind people of the horrible events that occurred during this time and to make sure we never forget.

    I think the reason this movie works wonders is that if Hitler had to see all of these holocaust movies, this one would probably hurt the most, because it shows people aren't scared of him anymore, he became the butt of the joke

    Germans actually greet every single person in a group separately, regardless how many. In eastern Germany one will actually go around to 10 people and shake all of their hands.

It's one of the most POWERFUL tools that we have to fight against OPPRESSION, BIGOTRY, and INTOLERANCE. "To poke holes on" these people who promote HATE."

    I think it’s important to remember that this film is all through Jojo’s perspective. Of course he would look at his world and try to make sense of it through his imagination. All the silly quirks of the characters is because we are seeing through Jojo’s eyes. The first time he sees Elsa, she comes out of the trap door like a monster. The captain acts like a gunslinging cowboy. The gestapo have sickly sweet smiles. Even Jojo himself acts like the rabbit he thinks he is in many subtle ways. Critics can say what they want, but this film is beautiful. 🐇❤️

    This was one of my favorite scenes in any movie. The tension, the comedy, it was perfect. Making people repeating "Heil Hitler" over and over funny seems, on paper, to be nearly impossible but the way they did it was amazing.
