The same snowflakes whining about Jo Jo Rabbit never heard of The Great Dictator either, I'm guessing. Of course, that was 1940, not after, but still... folks knew what was happening, because they knew what had taken place before. That's why it's so unfathomably absurd that anyone would compare the past of 75-80 years ago to today. Zero semblance or connections, what so ever. None.

It's infinitely enjoyable watching those who exhibit Naziesque behavior on a daily basis call everyone else Nazis.

Are you claiming that WWII was all Hitler's fault? Or him and Himmler take all the blame? In reality it is the human brain that is at fault. Millions of human brains got talked into the need for more German Living Space, Lebensraum as the Germans called it, and those brains started to clear the land around Germany to make more Lebensraum. The brains of the 21st Century are still based on the same old design used in WWII. That is why the same problems persist for year after year for the people who don't truly understand what happened in WWII or in the movie Jojo Rabbit. You can find an explanation of the movie by asking the writer/director Taika Waititi. Or you can make believe that you understand what you obviously don't.

If you read dozens of reviews, there is much confusion about what Jojo Rabbit means.

Let Second tell you what a movie is about. He knows everything because he reads Vox and MotherJones all day. /sarcasm

I guess I need to repeat this for those who didn't read it the first time.

Unless second is attempting to claim that Waititi himself is grossly unaware of what the 1940's were like or the causes of WW2, which is itself entirely possible.

So I finally rented Jo Jo Rabbit. About what I expected. Quirky, funny as hell at times, but heartbreaking too. Because you can't escape at least some level of tragedy when dealing with WW2 era Berlin.

Wow, what a cast! Sam Rockwell, Scarlet Johannsson, Rebel Wilson,

And after watching this, I have to wonder at the sanity of anyone who believes this showed any favoritism towards Hitler in any way. Seriously, you either didn't SEE the movie or have some substantial mental development issues. I hope for the sake of those w/ the latter, you're getting professional care of some sort. Just wow.

In reality it is the human brain that is at fault.

WTAF??? Seems your brain can convince itself of almost anything it needs to so it can escape dealing with reality

The brains of the 21st Century are still based on the same old design used in WWII

So? That’s not any where close to having a serious argument or valid position. Brains don’t change in 5, 50, or 5,000 years. ( You know, like the ones that designed & built the great pyramids? )

And did you know that Albert Einstein‘s brain was studied after his death. They found nothing remarkable about it to separate it from anyone else’s. So whatever point you were trying to drive at, has no merit.

I thought there was a thread about this movie somewhere back in time... Glad I found it.

So... Having pretty much forgotten everything I'd ever heard about this flick besides a young boy with Hitler as his imaginary friend, I went into it tonight, around 4 and a half years after this thread died, completely blind.

A lot of things have changed in 4.5 years. It turns out that Taika Waititi is kind of a dirtbag. I had completely forgotten that he was involved at all, but then in the opening credits I read that he not only directed the movie, but he wrote the screenplay as well. I was 90% confident that was him playing Hitler in the movie the whole time, but didn't know for sure until the credits rolled.

I have to admit, before those beginning credits finished I almost turned off the movie right then and there. But I didn't.

I'm glad I didn't. It was actually a pretty darn good movie.

It's one of the funnier things I've seen in a while, actually. And Taika Waititi as a 10 year old boy's imaginary friend version of Hitler was quite amusing to watch. I didn't realize that people on the Left could even be funny until tonight. I guess when your subject matter is the one thing that the Left allows you to joke about in Hollywood, they can actually pull it off. Not that it was a pure comedy movie in the slightest. It actually didn't have too many jokes in it, but pretty much every one they put in there landed. I'm not really the Laugh Out Loud type, but I got 2 or 3 pretty good laughs out of it.

Sam Rockwell, as always, stole the show even though he was just a side character with maybe the 5th most amount of screen time. I don't know much about Rebel Wilson... It would be wrong of me to assume that what I'd heard about her "takes" were poison in real life, but the fact that I've never seen her in anything before but I know her name makes me think she had some pretty dumb lefty takes over the years. That being said, even she was really funny in this.

The kids were amazing though. Looks like JSF complimented Tom McKenzie earlier in the thread, and he wasn't wrong. It's a shame that he appeared to be wrong about her possibly having a big career ahead of her after this movie though. I look at her IMDB page and the few movies she's been in since don't even ring any bells for me, and other than that it was a short film or two and some roles in TV shows I've never heard of before. She's only in her mid 20's though, so maybe she'll get a 2nd chance at a 2nd breakout role and get the career she deserves.

The fact that Roman Griffin Davis has only been a voice actor in a cartoon and a role in a single horror movie called Silent Night in 2021 is a travesty. That kid should have been the next Haley Joel Osment; in every movie made the next 10 years that needed a white kid in it.

I shut off my political brain for this one and just took everything at face value, and it ended up being a touching story. I was pleasantly surprised.

I hope those kids get better agents and get the careers they deserve.

You posted this on Thomasin McKenzie's 24th birthday.

This makes me conjure that some network was celebrating by showing her films.
After 2019, Hollywood was petrified by something called COVID.

Have you seen Old?

Taika also played the evil antagonist in Free Guy.
I was under the impression his wife was supposed to neutralize his bad nature, or rep.

No kidding?

Well happy belated birthday, Tom.

I hope you wished for a better agent, because you should be a household name in 2024.

Did you see the thread on the Pantheon show that she's voice acting? Looks like she's a minor part though because out of the 16 eps they've made so far she's only been in 6 of them.

This was William Hurt's last project before he died. Right at the end of the 2nd episode they left an "in memoriam" to him.

ETA: Whoops... noticed you added more to your post while I was replying...

I have not seen Old? Do you recommend it?

I'm going to eventually get around to watching The Outfit for the Diorama movie thread too. I did watch a movie called 127 Days that I recommend highly that fits the Diorama mold to a T too.

Yeah. I remembered Taika from Free Guy. He looked so different as Hitler that I wasn't absolutely sure it was him until the end credits rolled, but I was pretty sure it was the whole time.

Maybe his wife did reign him in. All I really remember about him was that he had a blast destroying Thor in Love and Thunder and basically told all the OG fans to get fucked.

I'm still really glad I decided to watch JoJo though. I really liked it.

I think that's the difference between Democrats and sane people. We can overlook things like this. I bet not a single person that voted for Biden* has been able to watch Home Alone 2 for the better part of the last decade.
