Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTaika Waititi discovered in his research that WWII Germany was very vibrant and fashionable and was interested in shying away from traditional war films that presented it as dark and dreary. He opted, instead, to present the city as a celebratory place on the surface and dressed the characters as stylishly as possible. He liked the idea that everything seems happy, but just underneath the surface "the third Reich is crumbling, and, you know, the dream is over."
- GoofsThe first time an American soldier is seen waving a flag from a balcony, it is one with 50 stars instead of 48. (A common mistake in WW2 films.) The error is later rectified by showing an American in a Jeep waving a correct 48-star flag.
- Quotes
[Rosie and Jojo come upon six people hanging from a gallows in the town square]
Jojo Betzler: What did they do?
Rosie: What they could.
- Crazy creditsThere is a quote from a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke right before the closing credits: "Let everything happen to you / Beauty and terror / Just keep going / No feeling is final."

Featured review
I thought this was bags of fun, who said that satire was a thing of the past, Jojo Rabbit prices that it is alive and well..
It's one of those films that will have you laughing one minute, crying the next, then awkwardly chuckling in the scene after that.
It's very well acted, very well made, the production values are actually very, very strong.
I saw this on its release with a few friends, it was my choice, faces were pulled at the thought of it, but everyone enjoyed, one quibbled before the film that she thought it was going to be offensive, it isn't, it's all tongue in cheek.
I look forward to seeing it again, I recommend. 8/10.
