While I was looking forward to it I am thoroughly disappointed and even kind of disgusted. A few cheeky and o. k. jokes, a clear Wes Anderson influence gone wrong, an attempt to use classic rock to elevate it and a metaphor of indoctrination that would attempt to justify it as some kind of heartfelt effort but in the end everything that is wrong about liberals this day and age... The actual history of child use in Nazi Germany is a horror, inhuman, beyond what people think anyone could be capeble of, a real insight into the terror humans can achieve and it really happened... Hitler Youth was not some sort of American Eagle Scout camp where it's members lived in happy 21st century, middle-class, political correct kinds of homes. In its attempt Jojo Rabbit actually sanitizes the worse of truth and while I came in wanting to like it because I'm a sucker for satire and comedies, I ended up wondering what the hell is wrong with Hollywood's liberal culture? patronizing, boiled down, censored, cowardly, self-confused, sluggish, uninformed... I know that not all movies should be Tarkovsky but watch Ivan's Childhood, Rossellini's Germany Year Zero, Elem Kilmov's Come and See ... if you have a thesis don't take it half way, go the entire distance and don't pretend the film is something it's not... this is not even close to Strangelove, To Be or Not to Be, The Great Dictator, Stalag 17.
