NEW CHANNEL - VARY CHERRY: ruclips.net/channel/UC-C70aZ6Tx2MKQQx4RtgdMA
Girl this is not a documentary you keep talking in the video as if everything shown to you is true.... IT'S MADE UP HOLLYWOOD FANTASY.
Please consider watching Taika Waititi’s other movies (besides Thor Ragnorak which you’ve seen):
- What We Do In the Shadows
-Hunt for the Wilderpeople
He little fat kid is the new Kevin in the home alone remake
Mary you would really love *Life Is Beautiful* (1997). It's a comedy, drama and romance set in World War II. Trust me, it will be one of your favorite movies set in WWII
@@michaelogilvie6378 yeah the movie that fell flat.
The reveal of what happened to his mom is so heartbreaking because you realize why they showed her shoes constantly.
I've descrbed this movie as very funny until it isn't. One of the best most heartbreaking reveals I've ever seen.
Yeah when I watch it with my history class, that’s all I saw and when that happened I was shocked
I realized it the very first time they showed her shoes after they showed the shoes of the people hanging...but I kept it to myself and waited for my wife's response. Absolutely heartbreaking to watch in real time.
This movie is so genius
I cannot express the claymore my heart took when I saw that shot :(
To add some context that might be missed: Captain K was out of breath because he knew what happened to the mother and ran to JoJo's home - he also brought her bike along.
Edit: Evidently its not her bike - I stand corrected.
Taiko has stated that it wasn't her bike.
Isn't captain k jojos father?
@@user-tx5bx3wq4g no
@@Impulsiveartist mmm I think so
@@Saxayone Oh! I never saw that! I figured he saw the mom at the gallows and went over but I never thought about the bike! 😮
Elsa had it right: "You're not a Nazi, Jojo. You're a 10-year-old kid who likes dressing up in a funny uniform and wants to be part of a club"
To a great extent that's how the Nazis snagged kids into the Hitler Youth. The Youth were marketed as the German version of the Boy Scouts; camping, the uniforms, etc.
This is what most young nazis were...💀
@@saltyfish7626 Nah, they were more than that. They were brainwashed and literally used as soldiers to fight to the bitter end. Your stomach will turn when you read actual real accounts of groups of young boys down to the age of 10 years fighting to the last man,... or better, boy.
@@andresvalverde5182 Yeah, but I mean that they didn't actually believe this stuff but they just want to belong.
Yes. But sadly most Nazi teenagers don't learn that until too late.
The moment JoJo is following the butterfly and stands up next to his mother's feet BREAKS me every time I watch this film.
It's a gut punch every single time
@@axlm.808 The first time we watched it, we were so surprised that my wife actually screamed.
And when he ties his mother's shoe, it's the deathblow.
I've never been so emotionally devastated by a simple camera tilt
@@BigMike246 When I saw it in theater, you could hear everyone the the room gasp
That's a really powerful shot, but what's make it even more effective, it's the recurring pattern "mom's red shoes on the left, Jojo's head on the right" you see multiple time before that crucial moment
I heard my mother audibly gasp next to me in the theater.
Captain K was an awesome character, it wasn’t a coincidence he showed up at Jojo’s when the SS was there, he saw what happened to his mom and headed straight over there to save Jojo.
Small correction: not the SS but the Gestapo
He saved him twice, once in the house and the other was at then end when the americans were gonna execute the nazi’s
@@purgeblue Russians*
he was never a nazi, he just realy loved germany, he is my favorite character of the movie
@@joaosoares-rr5mj i don't think he loved germany tho, he was just doing what he was told and trying not to get caught
Seeing a former Nazi dancing with a Jewish girl, in the streets of Germany, to David Bowie? That is amazing, iconic, and really beautiful in more ways than one 💙
Yep, I'm crying lol
JoJo was never really a Nazi though that's the whole point of the film; he represents the many germans who either simply didn't want to be punished for "siding with the enemy" by going against the regime or were just brainwashed effectively into believing propaganda
There's a big difference between people who fully believed in the cause and people who believed it because they were manipulated into believing it never mind the people who just did so out of fear of very real and brutal repercussions
jojo wasnt a nazi he was a child.
About Captain K and Finkle being in a relationship, if you look closely near the end when they are in their more flamboyant uniforms you can see pink triangles. I’m not sure if they’re actually there or just a trick of how the features of the uniforms fall, but the symbolism is clear. Even more reason why Captain K would have wanted to help Jojo and his mother.
Those triangles are actually there. Captain K has a few and i'm pretty sure Freddy's whole cape is covered in them
Also the last time you see Captain K he is clutching Finkle's cape.
It's Finkel.
Those patches are the same ones that gays were forced to were in the Camps to identify them
It was pretty obvious from the start tbh.
One minor heartbreaking detail I didn't notice on first viewing: In the scene where Captain K. saves JoJo from the firing squad, he's holding Finkel's cape. It's subtly implied in most of their scenes that they are more than friends, and the implication that Finkel has died, and Captain K. knows he'll be joining him imminently, adds another dimension of sadness and nobility to his end.
Kids should be shown this in schools.
Teach kids to be open minded and to think for themselves.
Aaand that's why schools will never do this; the simple thought of kids being open minded and thinking for themselves triggers a whole generation that seeks to control and destroy others psychologically.
I took my kids to see this they were 13 and 10 at the time. Our whole family loved the film, and my kids got the message of the film better than some adults.
I was shown "Schindler's List" in 6th grade or 7th.
The first time I saw this was actually last year in school lol (I live in england and my history teacher is great)
@@instantromy
I think I saw it in 8th I’m not entirely sure though
One story I heard was an SS Officer gathering up a bunch of kids, basically boy scouts to fight the Russians at the end of the war. A regular German officer showed up and asked the SS officer what is he doing. After listening to the SS officer's intentions to use the kids to fight the Russians, the German officer politely asked him to step outside. One gunshot later, the German officer came back and told the kids to go home.
I also saw that Reddit post
My German teacher told us a story of his father. He was maybe 16 years old, or you could better say he was in the same age as we in our German Highschool. He was recruited from Lübeck to go to the Eastern Front in 1945. The Red Army was not in Berlin (probably January). He marched with some other young men to Berlin. In his way were refugees and wounded soldier, which were fleeing from the Red Army. An older soldier with bandages asked them, where they want to go. They proudly said, to fight for Germany. He laughed and said the war is over run back home.
The dad survived the war but his older brother who left earlier did not.
i also heard of the story if a dragon that had gold in his belly. it was on reddit so it must be true
During WW2 German children as young 12-13 were trained to be firefighters, after that they might be transferred to be AA gunners and search light operators and finally soldiers at 14-15. Those pulled from the AA guns around Berlin and sent to the front in 45 were replaced by BDM girls trained for a day or two by the former crews. During the battle of Berlin 5000 HJ children were told by HJ leader Axmann to hold a sector and some bridges. 3 days later there were 500 left still standing. Axmann survived the war. Died in 1996. Some as young as Jojo fought and died.
the fact that Hitler was a vegetarian and anti-smoking. in this film illustrates that the child does not really understand Hitler himself
Your point stands, but Hitler was not a vegetarian, just had diets from time to time. The popular myth that he was came from a desire to portray him as a "weakling". Which, I mean, he was, but vegetarianism was not the reason.
@@MartinGrozny Yeah, it is one of his most misunderstood characteristics. His vegetarian phases were not even his own decisions, it was because his doctor recommend him to avoid meat for health reasons.
@@MartinGrozny No the desire to portray him as a vegetarian, were out of the desire to appear strong and committed, and I quote Goebbels here "He abstains from these (Meat, Alcohol and Tobacco) because he is following the example of the great German, Richard Wagner, or because he has discovered that it increases his energy and endurance to such a degree that he can give much more of himself to the creation of the new German Reich." But there are mixed accounts on his diet. Some accounts and Doctors notes claim he were either fully or at least partly vegetarian (Excluding his favorite dish liver dumplings).
@@madselmvig1457 Riiight. I guess it's a fair interpretation, but you are literally quoting his personal minister of propaganda for why he did it. Another inter-german source claims it was because he loved animals too much. Most historians agree it was because he had digestive issues, though.
@@MartinGrozny Why the bitchy tone? You agreed with me, so what is the issue. YOU stated that the myth were to make him weak, but that is not true. But that he were partly vegetarian is something we agree on. Oh you thought it were the allies that has started the myth. Ahh got it, no sorry it originated in Germany. And no most historians don't agree on anything, historians are not fiction writers, if it is not fully documented, they will suggest possibilities, however never claim something they have no merit to claim. I think you mean some analysts SPECULATE that it might have been due to health reasons, however again that is a speculation. And it were not done by historians.
“What did they do?”
“What they could.”
“Take care of my Rosie, she’s doing what she can.”
Yeah! I only just picked up on that when watching this!
This movie immediately cracked my top 10 movies list. I laughed, cried, and was as emotionally invested as anything I've seen. It has so many layers too that I didn't know were there, but peel back with more viewings and learning more about that time. A rare film for me where it's kept its emotional and comedic impact no matter how often I watch it.
i suggest taking meds if you think this movie is any good.
@@tanelviil9149 you can take them yourself
@@timrosswood4259 nah bro you can take them.
@@tanelviil9149 great reply
Notice the "Ja ja." before she kneed him? common answer in German that basically means you're so full of it
Captain K and Finkel were definitely together. When they burst onto the scene in their costumes, you can see pink triangles on the cloth. Just before Captain K saves Jojo, you can see that he's holding Finkel's cape in his arms, signifying that Finkel had died too. I don't think Captain K had much left when he saved Jojo. :(
I think everyone who watched this movie breathed a sigh of relief when Yorki came out alive.
They walked a very fine line so brilliantly. Incredible movie. Incredible delivery.
Yes! It's not easy to make fun of one of the darkest periods of modern history while still making a powerful comment on human decency and insanity.
Incredible film, showing the war through an innocent child's eyes, needed to be told to the next generation to ensure WE NEVER FORGET - would have been only nominated for an oscar if it was a serious drama, but the brave writers made it a satire, to make it more relatable and mainstream, and it won 14 awards, 5 oscar nominations and even brought one home. Unfortunately it was in theaters at the start of COVID which crippled box office sales. FYI, it was the studio's final demand for the movie, that Taika himself play Hitler, to ensure the audience understood it was a satire IMMEDIATELY - sometimes the execs are right. that decision paid off in spades.
ABSOLUTELY watch "What We Do in the Shadows." That was my introduction to Taika, and it did not disappoint.
So glad you liked this one. I thought it was the best picture of 2019. Two other movies by Taika Waititi you should see are "What We Do in the Shadows" (which is now a hilarious TV series) and "The Hunt for the Wilderpeople" both AMAZING!
I second all of these things
absolutely!
Boy too!
I love Jojo Rabbit but that batch for Best Picture was a powerhouse group though. Hard to pick from so many good choices.
The hunt for the wilderpeople, I'll find it now, Watch BOY if you haven't 😀
Another Taika Waititi film that should be on the top of your list: Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Don’t look it up, just watch it. An absolute gem that no one saw.
I actually got to see it in theaters. I hadn't heard of Taika Waititi before then, but he had just been announced as the director of Thor Ragnarok and I wanted to check out what he could do. It's a fantastic movie.
@@brewdaly1873 I watched it in theater as well! I think I was one of four people in there. I force all of my friends to watch it and everyone comes away with a full heart and sides hurting from laughter. Taika is a treasure.
It's one of my absolute favorite movies!
@@onecoolghoul Right there with you!!
“Hunt for the Wilderpeople” is Tailka’s best movie I think.
That li'l kid carried that whole movie, amazing acting.
Taika's an Oscar winner for this. He's a genius. All his movies are worth watching, he's a director that I will check out all of their future films. Can't wait for Love and Thunder!
Unfortunately was a bit darker than just " upkeeping bodies"...for girls training..yeah...its for practicing...positions
Something of lighter note! A lot of the main actors in this film are of Jewish or Polish heritage. Giving the real middle finger to the Nazis
for the last fact about the middle finger that is awesome classic Taika Waititi lol.
Waititi himself and Johansson have both a jewish mother
Actually, Taika Waititi use his father surname as stage name but his legal name is Taika Cohen (he made his first shorts under this name)
@@axlm.808 I mean, they're both Jewish. They describe themselves as Jewish. There's no generational separation there.
@@Oddricm Of course
Waititi describes himself as a Jewish Maori (the best choice for playing Hitler)
@@jonathancunningham8739 I just can't avoid loving Taika, he's just so hilarious but incredibly talented
Fun fact. Hitler was against animal cruelty and was one of the first nations to implement charges on animal cruelty.
Also was against smoking and started anti smoking campaigns aswell as testing the effects of smoking. Jojo doesn't know much about hitler just in propaganda and emagins hitler offering him cigarettes
Also I read a book on the last US amabassador to Germany in the late 30s. You can feel the fear creeping in even to the diplomat status in Nazi Germany. One commentary was that animals were treated better at the time than Jews. It really puts the cruelty of the movement in perspective.
The only thing that saved him was that 'potato masher' grenades had very little shrapnel, depending mostly on concussion to be effective.
Quite lethal indoors, but with nothing to contain the blast outside, they weren't very effective.
I also imagined that those were some kinda training grenades that had smaller amounts of explosives and other stuff in general.
Why would they waste good grenades just for throwing practices?
I want to see a movie where Simon Pegg and Nick Frost play adult versions of the two friend kids in this movie. Directed by either Edgar Wright or Taika Waititi of course
They go on a road trip and meet an alien
The first time I saw the film in the theatre I wanted Roman and Archie to play young versions of Simon and Nick in ANYTHING!
What we do in the shadows! Is a must!
The smile captain k has being dragged away from Jojo is so emotional
I was originally concerned this movie would be insensitive. However the humor was used to show the absurdity of Hitlers and nazi beliefs. Jojo comes to realizes this as he gets to know the Jewish girl hiding in his walls. I couldn't help crying at the end.
Everyone is a victim in war, except those who declare them.
War is the most grotesque action in which humanity engages. ESPECIALLY considering the unfathomable potential of our minds.
YES. So glad you reacted to this movie!! It's heartbreaking, but very satire. The whole cast in this movie was great. JoJo Rabbit is one of my favorite movies :) It's made me cry and laugh many times. Hope you enjoyed it!
The fact that Captain K knew the story and what happened to Jojo's mother is that in the "Heil Hitler" scene, he and Finkel bring Rosie's bike home
He knows what happened to her, but that is not her bike. She had a woman's bike. Waititi confirmed in an interview that the bike Captain K rides is not hers.
There is one old school movie about the childrens perspective of ww2 in germany I know. I watched it in school and its pretty tough. Its called "Die Brücke (1959)" and shows a little group of boys who are put into defense of a small village bridge against the advancing allied forces.
and then there is the 80's movie from a Belarussian child's perspective called "Come and See" which might be the most disturbing war movie ever...
This was a great movie. I live in the US and watched it shortly after Jan6; it really helped me understand the situation.
I just love Taika Waititi and his films.
Maybe some of my favorite directors.
My ranking of his films:
1. Jojo Rabbit
2. Boy
3. Hunt for the Wilderpeople
4. What We Do in the Shadows
5. Eagle vs Shark
6. Thor: Ragnarok
Also Thomasin McKenzie (girl who played Elsa) has really become some of my favorite actresses after Jojo Rabbit.
She was also amazing in Leave No Trace and Last Night in Soho.
Also many other great smaller roles.
So underrated young actress.
This movie is a wrecking ball. My mother was born and raised in Nazi Germany. Indeed she was the same age as Jo Jo and went through similar circumstances during the war. Boys were in the Hitler Youth and girls were in the female equivalent.
She was regularly bombed from her home and her father, who was conscripted, never came home. It's actually amazing, but I never even saw a picture of my grandfather before last year. We have only one picture.
As a Catholic family they were also not welcome, but not as persecuted as badly as Jewish people or gays etc.
To this day she says the happiest day of her life was when the American tanks rolled into town. Just as happens at the end of this movie.
As some say "the first country the Nazis invaded was Germany."
“Aw, imaginary hitler’s getting pissed off”. With that sentiment I’d say this movie’s pulled off the satire part of its job lol.
This is my favorite movie. The theater experience was amazing, everybody laughing, and weeping together. Excellent.
1:52 - This whole moment is both really funny, and also a great directorial exercise on Taika's part for working with his young actor. It's the type of thing you'll see from directors or in acting classes to get actors to a certain energy level.
"Vat are you burning?"
"She can't hear you"
"VAT ARE YOU BURNING!?"
I saw the film when it came out, then again, and again. It became one of my favorite movies of all time. It is funny, deep, sad, beautiful, and so smart...
I highly recommend you see the movie "Downfall." It is one of the rare times Hitler is portrayed on film in a serious way, beyond just a portrait on the wall or someone's desk. The fact that it is made by the Germans themselves is all the more powerful, an admission it seems. You forget you're even watching a movie at times and not a documentary. "Spellbinding. On par with Saving Private Ryan in every regard."
Yeah. This movie is good but Downfall is still better.
Das Boot is also very good
Downfall is excellent and accurate. Saving Private Ryan is a great movie, but piled high with inaccuracy.
@@rastarn Imho Battle of the Bulge, Kelly's heroes > Saving pv Ryan.
Taika doesn’t live in our world, we live in his!
this is such a brilliant movie, I think everyone should see it. The camera tilt gets me every time, as does Captain K's sacrifice. Also, Yorkie is the best bro.
This is a phenomenal movie with so many different emotions Sam Rockwell has always been one of my favorite actors and his character is fantastic in this film
Amazingly it was the kid's first acting role. Amazing acting.
I'll never get over the fact that actual journalists criticised this movie because it "Tried to make you feel sympathy for Nazis and Trump supporters" completely missing the point that it's about deprogramming a child brainwashed by a harmful ideology by opposing their ingrained beliefs.
What a bunch of donuts!
During WW2 German children as young 12-13 were trained to be firefighters, after that they might be transferred to be AA gunners and search light operators and finally soldiers at 14-15. Those pulled from the AA guns around Berlin and sent to the front in 45 were replaced by BDM girls trained for a day or two by the former crews. During the battle of Berlin 5000 HJ children were told to hold a sector and some bridges. 3 days later there were 500 left still standing.
Taika Waititi directed Thor: Ragnarok and is directing Thor: Love and Thunder. He also plays Korg
Well done. As a WWII history enthusiast, the out of the box thinking for this movie was excellent. Through the eyes of young Hitler Youth. The beginning sequence: of course his childhood imaginary friend would be Hitler. Keep up the great work.
This movie is absolutely hilarious, right up until it suddenly very much isn't. Taika Waititi is a brilliant artist, pretty much everything he's involved with is excellent.
I love this film. Sam Rockwell is so good in a supporting role. Taika Waititi is a superb filmmaker, Another film of his that's really heartwarming is HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE. He does such a great job of mixing humor with emotional depth.
i can understand crying from this movie. it’s one of my favorites such a perfect story and message
Watch ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’. It’s another Taika Waititi film. It’s funny and beautiful. One of my all time favorites.
And BOY/Eagle bs Shark. I’ve heard some people outside NZ done understand the humour in BOY but I personally think it’s just as funny and heartfelt as JoJo. BOY is a stunning piece of film.
What’s interesting is that Hitler was a vegetarian and non-smoker, really shows how little they understand about the leader they follow.
I think the real reason is that Taika said he just didn’t bother to do any research about Hitler lol, but in the context of the film itself yeah your idea works well.
@@gavinallerton3414 the movie is about the impressions and thoughts of a 10 year old German boy during the war. In that context research would be a waste of time.
@@Fmanzo10 Ok? Not sure what your point is, my comment still stands lmao.
He was not a vegetarian 🤦🏻♂️
@@ElKamaleon777 Tell more lies.
The moment I heard the Beatles’ German version of I Want To Hold Your Hand, I knew this would be good!
One of my ALL TIME Favorites! So glad you watched and enjoyed it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This film encapsulates the horror of war while managing to be hilarous. 10/10
Fact: Taika Waititi' mother's maiden name is Cohen. That gives a whole new sense on what he is trying to accomplish in his film.
I've had an ongoing, gradually increasing on average interest in WW2 history since I was 12- I'm *_*38_** now. I've gotten 20 CHAPTERS into my own novel I'm writing that covers more than 100 years of plausible European history- my favorite chapters.
I've already done more than 1/3 or so of go through the eras of: WW2, the Korean War, Vietnam, the second half of the 70s and the 80s!
...Highly recommend a film called "The Book Thief" while on the subject of kids capturing your heart while at war...
"Man, this kid is clumsy"
Jojo who has a limp due to an explosion:
👁️👄👁️
Scarlett Johansson was great in this movie, but Roman Griffin Davis and Thomasin McKenzie are just SO GOOD.
Thomasin McKenzie has really become some of my favorite actresses after Jojo Rabbit.
So good and underrated young actress.
She was also amazing in Leave No Trace and Last Night in Soho.
Many other smaller roles too.
I also just watched film called Silent Night.
Roman Griffin Davis was really great in that.
I really liked that movie.
It also has Davida McKenzie in it.
She is little sister of Thomasin McKenzie.
your videos brighten up my day Mary. thank you for doing them and for putting positivity into the world. watching from california. happy new years to you, and god bless.
The movie goes from funny to heartbreaking very fast. One of the best movies of the last decade for me (I'm a german)
I have watched this film so many times it is just amazing.
‘The hunt for the Wilder People’ is Taika’s best film
Sam Rockwell (Captain Klenzendorf) is one of the best character actors out there period.... Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
Dixon..
Seven Psychopaths
Billy
Galaxy Quest
Guy Fleegman
The Green Mile
'Wild Bill' Wharton.....He can play ANY role!!!
Moon, one of Rockwell's best roles and performances.
He's great in absolutely everything he does
Zaphod Beeblebrox from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
To add to other films suggested here, another movie about kids in Germany at the end of the war is Die Brücke (1959). It was also remade in 2008, but the original is always much more highly rated.
I have no words to appreciate your consistency in uploading videos, and doing it alone in a room is not quite an easy job. Respect and more power to you. Keep doing what you do best, and we, the subscribers, will support u in this journey.
the Yorkie/Jojo in a robot outfit is the cutest thing!
If you had to pick one scene to describe this movie... I'd say its the scene where the SS show up at his house... First they turn "Heil Hitler" into a Joke... Then it becomes deadly serious. The dialog really encapsulates a lot of the themes of the movie. Just amazing scene.
This movie is absolute masterpiece.
You should watch "DOWNFALL" from 2004!
That's a classic, plus one of the greatest meme templates ever
Sam Rockwell is always a win.
This was the last film I saw in a cinema before the lockdowns began - nearly three years ago to the day, on my birthday.
Such a lovely fun film, until that moment when suddenly it wasnt. In the cinema everyone went suddenly very silent.
Yes!!! I've been waiting for you to review this one.
It makes the Gestapo scene so much darker the second time through. Those guys are tossing his house becuase they just hanged that kid's mom and they are just smiling at him like they aren't murderers that just wrecked his life.
One of my all time favorites!! A movie I can watch again and again
Love all you’re reactions Mary. I think you should watch what we do in the shadows. It’s great humour, and the series is just as funny. Thanks for all that you do.
You never saw Chaplin's "The great dictator"? Its a satire and dark comedy, and it was filmed during WW2.
This is one of my all time favorite movies! Best combination of comedy and drama I’ve seen in a long time. Glad that you liked it!
"What we do in the Shadows"
"The Hunt for the wilder people"
"Thor Ragnorok"
She watched all the marvel movies already
Boy - Eagle vs Shark - awesome films
There is a series of books on two kids that grew up in the HY like this movie. One became KGB, the other a baker in Switzerland. They stayed in contact which the books are based on. Super interesting perspective on the war. The kids were enamored of the Nazi movement and then become jaded and hate it all at the end of the war.
Such a brilliant idea for a movie. The way it merged atrocity with humor was extremely well done, despite it seeming impossible.
Excellent reaction, dear. Thanks for sharing.
JoJo mom was keeping Captain K secret being gay and liking his male friend and Captain K was keeping her secret. They was friends and that's why she asked him to look after JoJo for her
love the review Mary 🤠
This was Roman Griffin Davis' (Jojo) first ever acting job! Or at least professional
He and Archie Yates (Yorki) are almost a younger version of the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost duo
You might be interested in "Hope and Glory", a film about a boy growing up in London during the war. When this film came out, I was probably 9 years old, and around the same age as the main character. I was really fascinated by this movie, and then forgot about it for a lot of years. It's not a comedy, but I have fond memories of it.
This was an amazing movie...well cast and amazing acting with a great concept that showed the WWII experience in a truly unique light. Great comedy + great drama. I watched this before I saw it with my wife. Then when we watched it together, I got very worried when she made a comment about how much she liked Scarlet's shoes. I knew the reveal towards the end would hit her hard. It did, but she loved it too.
Here's an easter egg. 'Never look a tiger in the eye', painting of tiger on the wall and Taika is of Māori descent and his name means 'Tiger' in Māori.
I didn't know that one, but Taikas mother was Maori and Jewish heritage. His mother actually recommended he read the book ' Caging Skies'. My favourite Easter egg was in Thor: Ragnarok: The Spacecraft that Banner and Thor make their escape in, is based on the Aboriginal flag.
I agree with you, it is intriguing that there exists so much comedy about USSR/Lenin/Stalin, but scarcely any besides the play "The Producers", and this movie.
23:29 “He’s going to be home alone!”
Well no, but his best friend on the other hand…
The song at the end, when they leave the house and dance, is from David Bowie and it's called Heroes
In the movie Hitler keeps offering JoJo cigaretes. This is done since real life Hitler was an anti smoker :)
Captain K is a prime example in this movie that not all German Soldiers were Nazis
Adore this movie and how it all came together. My favourite fact about it was that when asked what research he'd done on Hitler before assuming the role of him, Taika said none at all. The best and right answer, which explains why the movie is so good too. I think the brilliant perspective it offers is that of Germany, and stresses that German and Nazi are not mutually exclusive in the slightest. That sort of sensitivity striking a balance with the cutting satire, is just perfection.
