I mean, ok, a parody about Nazi. At first glance. But then, adding the heavy drama into it was necessary?
I mean, yes of course, we are mentioning the Holocaust here, sure we should. However, sometimes I get the feeling that ' we are over it '.
We understand. Nazi Bad. Save the Jew. Save the World.
I thought that if Jojo Rabbit kept the light comedic aura rolling on the whole movie, it would have been much greater than it really was (just another WWII drama).
They even managed to place in Stephen Merchant in such a good role, as a Gestapo officer and he was simply amazing at it. Could have been explored further.
But no. Hey, let's drama this shit up and you know what? Kill the mother. Kill everyone and then let's end with a very hipsterish dance contest between the ex-nazi Jr. and the Jew he wanted to fuck.
