Or ‘Kung Fury’ or ‘’Allo ‘Allo’ or thousands of ‘Downfall’ memes or ‘Der Fuerhers Face’ or played Wolfenstein 3D.

The Hitler (or the Nazis generally) as a buffoon angle is a pretty firmly embedded one. But I don’t think that people’s concerns about JoJo Rabbit are really about Hitler or the Holocaust. They’re about now…

“Waititi, on the other hand, wants to portray Adolf Hitler as a goofy imaginary friend . . .”

I would also add that the article points out the incongruity of Jojo dancing, but he does so specifically because his mother says that’s what she would do because dancing is for people who are free.

Hitler isn’t actually in the movie

I do think too many people make Jojo Rabbit the “wacky Hitler” movie forgetting that Hitler isn’t actually in the movie, and we’re spending far more time dealing with how people - especially children - can be indoctrinated into popular ways of thinking. I don’t think that it reinvented the wheel or even that it set…

Hi, I live in Tel Aviv and this movie played here and wasn’t contriversial. I didn’t see it yet, but planning to. Taika Waititi sometimes goes by his mother’s maiden name Cohen which is the most jewish name you can have.

You got me there; you’re definitely the one to police his Jewishness. My bad.

Your point of view based on ignorance.  Sure.

“i see your point about how i’m being wrong and ridiculous right now but i’m gonna keep it that way, kthx"

Be sure to let the Jewish director and actor portraying Hitler know how offended you are on his behalf.

This take is too hot. There is absolutely no way that you actually paid attention to the film. Right out the gates with “It is a movie that asks its audience to sympathize with a poor little Nazi boy who really wants to participate in the Holocaust” you show that you might not have even watched the movie. 

Oh boy. The movie isn’t a satire of the holocaust, nor does it make like of the events. It’s a poignant reflection of a boy who wants so much to belong to something because all the other kids are doing it(Hitler Youth), but eventually realizes that what he had pined for is something abhorrent and not for him. It…

My grandmother survived the Holocaust by being smuggled around German attics. Jojo Rabbit was my favorite movie of 2019. This is an appalling take on a movie that tells today’s kids what being a Nazi looks like and how to stop being a Nazi, by putting it in a frame they will actually pay attention to.

his mistake was trying to use it on a species that LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE THE DEVIL. For all we know, in the NuCanon Devaron is a literaly hell-world.

No. People never stopped being born with a sensitivity to the Force, just like (as Luke points out) the Force will still exist even if people aren’t sensitive to it.

Force sensitive kids are still out there through every movie, book, etc. Its just harder to know who is or isn’t because a lot of that knowledge has been lost when the empire took over. As long as people keep being born in their galaxy there will always be people who can use the Force.

Nah. The galaxy is full of Force sensitive people.

I dunno,I was perfectly fine with Burr in the role, he did a great job signaling that he wasn’t someone to be trusted.

I don’t really see why Baby Yoda’s existence interferes with anything going on in the sequels
