"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)

  • Yorki: There are bigger things to worry about than Jews, Jojo. There's Russians somewhere out there. They're worse than anyone. I heard they eat babies and have sex with dogs. I mean like that's bad, right?

    Jojo: Sex with dogs?

    Yorki: Yeah. The Englishmen do it too. We have to stop them before they eat us and screw all our dogs.

  • Captain Klenzendorf: Well, if it isn't Herr Handgrenade himself.
