This movie is not only hysterical, but it also has high emotional impact. The perspective of a brainwashed child in nazi Germany is something we've never seen before and it is genius as a satirical perspective. I haven't laughed so hard at a movie in a long time, and I cried for a good 10 minutes when the credits rolled. This movie should not be interpreted as offensive and as if it is making light of nazism. Its purpose is to provoke thought about empathy and independent thinking and doing what's right. Everything Taika Waititi touches is my favorite thing, so enjoy.
Was shocked by New Yorker and NY Times negative reviews. It was effective at mocking the insanity and the stupidity of the Third Reich, while also touching your heart. Sam Rockwell is the greatest IMO.
