"Irregular" war films are because the focus is not on the war itself

From the perspective of the 21st century, many episodes that seem to be unthinkable to laughter, for example, the ideology of the country is demonizing a part of the group, which was real at that time. The comic effect of this film is intended to criticize the absurdity of the Nazi slaughter of Jews rather than to weaken the cruelty of World War II.

Realistic war films are indeed macroscopic and shocking enough to inspire patriotic enthusiasm, but the focus of this film is not on these, but it has become a reason for some negative reviews, which is narrow. In the era of peace, such films are more expressing the injustice of launching war, the absurdity of reasons, the easy incitement of foolish people, the brainwashing of political parties and the existence of the spirit of resistance, etc. The enlightenment is so strong, and I personally think it is sufficiently praised. For example, things that we feel ridiculous when we have the advantage of time are sad for people in that era. There are many things worth reflecting on this point, such as cultural castration, sensitive words, the ban on certain movies and websites, the divorce cooling-off period, and the "crime of prostitution with underage girls" that was abolished only a few years ago... many, many not all Absurd and bizarre, but it is taken for granted under the premise of marking the time? (Only provide the perspective of divergent thinking)

    Only those who learn to love specific individuals can reject the abduction of the macro-abstract collective consciousness.

    Does a ten-year-old child know what love is? He loves his country, loves Nazi, loves Adolf Hitler, his little head is full of them, and these powers seem to make him stronger. His mother didn't argue with him, but told him with a smile: The most powerful thing in the world is not metal, explosives and muscles, but love. You can't feel it now, but when the day love comes, you will understand.

Jojo Rabbit quotes

  • Adolf Hitler: Sure, you're a little bit scrawny and a bit unpopular and you can't tie your shoelaces even though you're ten years old. But you're still the bestest, most loyal little Nazi I've ever met. Not to mention the fact you're really good-looking.

    [pause]

    Jojo Betzler: I swear to devote all my energies and my strength to the savior of our country, and of his now. I am willing and ready to give up my life for him. So help me, God.

Not to mention the fact you're really good looking. So you're gonna get out there and you're gonna have a great time, okay?
