The Love-It-or-Hate-It Trick of ‘Jojo Rabbit’ (Column) - [I didnt care for it]

[Damn Near]

No: Its just no one hates a jew like another jew

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you on that one, my friend

Well your wrong

and a Jew hates other jews because he hates himself most of all [for being jewish]

Guess Taika Waititi will have to be reminded that Mel Brooks exists - just like I kinda wanted to remind him that Valkyrie being a girl who gets drunk and still kicks ass is nothing new in films because... Marion Ravenwood in Raiders of the Lost Ark, anyone?

Look they need to pretend like Progressive history is real. Otherwise they would have to ask and answer hard questions

I haven't seen the movie, but I thought the trailer was interesting.

A goofy Nazi movie with Hitler as an imaginary friend to a kid? That sounds like it has potential for satire and insanity, so I was kind of interested in checking it out.

I dunno, to me it came off like it was trying to pander to that hysteric MSNBC-addled crowd who has nightly wet dreams about muh nazis. Apparently it was based on a book from 2004 but the book was serious instead of taking this cutesy, tongue in cheek approach to the premise. In the context of the broader contemporary media push to fearmonger over largely imaginary nazis, it seems like a lame propaganda piece/cash-grab that cynically appeals to emotion using children and snark.

If JoJo Rabbit is truly a movie for hipsters, shouldn't there be Funko Pops of all the main characters including the character that Taika Waititi plays?
