Alice fell into the rabbit hole and met the Queen of Hearts, Jojo Rabbit opened the closet and found his Jewish friend; Dorothy knocked her heel and flew to the ends of the earth, Mother Rabbit dangled her heel on the rope; The lion has a heart, and the rabbit has the guts , bats can make butterflies flutter in the blink of an eye.

The creator needs an absurd worldview to isolate the truth, so that the history can be deconstructed and ironic in a safe area. Nazis can be exaggerated and one-sided and can be a tool, but they cannot have depth and layers. The more truthful, the more it will threaten the story. 's architecture.

But what is more dangerous is that his safe area has not been established. Many jokes are offensive rather than ironic, such as "girls practice giving birth to children", "stabbed by a rebounding knife", and "blown up by a bomb" (this kind of place I No one laughed), in high-morality areas, the audience generally responded with sympathy and condemnation, and the safety zone he established was not enough for the audience to let go of their moral constraints. This is why the biggest disagreement in the comments is all about the handling of the comedy of the Nazis. Those who like it feel that it is light and new, while those who don't like it feel that it goes against history, is too frivolous, and has no principles.

But on the other hand, in order to be funny you have to feel "sarcasm", and "sarcasm" requires you to presume "Nazis are evil & their behavior is neurotic", if someone thinks "Nazis are okay, kids have knives" It's normal to cut each other," and his joke would be useless.

So to appreciate this film, first, you can't be anti-social and completely ignore morality; second, your moral restraint can't be too strong, otherwise only criticism will be left, and you must be in the half-naked zone between the two. Just do it.

(ps. English is really not good. pps. Please Rockwell to play a real gay movie, don't always play side balls, thank you)

    Cute, innocent, and funny, intertwined with cruelty, darkness, and reality. What is love? It is a butterfly fluttering in the stomach, a jumping dance step, and the most powerful force.
