Jojo Rabbit's pacing goes down to a slow burn, which means you see the manifestation of Hitler show his more vicious tendencies as the film goes on. While his hate-filled ideology is present right from the start, he’s presented in a more friendly light upon first appearance. And yes, that needed to happen; otherwise the whole “imaginary friend” ang...
It becomes clear that Jojo is projecting his brainwashed ideology into what he thinks Hitler is like. However, once the initially friendly Hitler angle sets in, he’s portrayed as a total idiot for the rest of his time onscreen.

In all honesty, comedy shouldn’t really have any boundaries and should be perceived for the sake of hilarity. However, that doesn’t change the fact that this backdrop is more personal for some than for others. After all, those who didn’t have families go through those harrowing times won’t have any clue how awful it was. It’s only through the recol...
One should always give the benefit of the doubt to Taika Waititi, who can easily be counted on to deliver a hilarious film and interesting characters.

A majority of the criticism, even from those who enjoyed the film, was that it didn’t fully showcase Germany's grisly past. It was likely you knew what was going on, and the film relied on your knowledge of history to shape out the backdrop.

Look, you can be angry all you want over whatever you see onscreen, but you also need to remember that we’re watching things from the point of view of a child. Isn’t it a universal truth that our ideas about how life was supposed to be when we were kids seem hilarious in hindsight? It is because of this that Jojo Rabbit’s protagonist comes across a...
Along with the criticism that Jojo Rabbitdidn’t portray the awful side of the times completely, there’s also the complaint that Nazis were very one-dimensional, in that they were portrayed as being comedic at all times. This makes them seem like much less of a threat than they were. From the perception of some people, it might seem as if Jojo and h...
Other films, like The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, have shown a bleak outlook on the events of the war and its effect on children, but Jojo Rabbitwould’ve lost its identity had it played out in similar fashion. Waititi’s style of using comedy is hidden genius in the sense thatthis method actually piques interest over the subject matter. RELATED: Tho...
The fact of the matter is that there are many people today who look for things to be offensive by rather than trying to understand their meaning. Had Jojo Rabbitbeen released about a decade ago, then there simply wouldn’t have been much controversy to begin with. However, one must consider the audience these days before releasing a movie, and for t...
Finally, the entire point of the film can be communicated by informing viewers that it’s supposed to be seen as a comedy and not a faithful representation of history. Sure, it is a sensitive topic, but at no point did Jojo Rabbitever promote Hitler as a good guy, nor did the film ever attempt to picture the suffering of the people as funny. Instead...
