I enjoyed the film and am pretty good at separating my politically rotted brain with entertainment but every now and then it bothered me so much how much humility they gave hitler. It was very entertaining film though, for sure worth watching, but that was one of those movies where it's hard to suspend my beliefs throughout the whole thing seeing how playful they made his character. Usually I can't stand child actors but that kid did a really good job, he carried that film so hard
I mean the Hitler he sees is just a manifestation of intense propaganda and the kid's daddy issues. I dont think Taika Waititi ever intended to portray him with humility
yes yes, i do get that, it's hard to describe exactly, but a lot of it has to due with my pure hatred of him and everything he has done. So just suspending my beliefs constantly for that one was a bit tougher but I still enjoyed it as just a movie.
Yeah if we compare it to say The Death of Stalin, I'd much rather recommend that over this. It was a lot easier to set aside some of the dogshit ass revisionism because they made it constantly funny because of all the actors doing such a great job. Steve Buscemi is just a really funny dude to me, I've always loved him and is mainly why I even gave it a shot. It was like watching an alternative history movie but it doesn't take it self serious. Jojo rabbit is also completely fictional but they took it more serious as an actual movie, even though it's comedy. None of the actors pretended to have russian accents so you got various british, american and other accents all happening at one time so it's not like they are really trying to be serious/historical.

yeah i doubt he did either, this is all just a personal critique watching it
Well, you gotta remember that the Hitler in the movie is entirely the imaginary friend of a kid in the Hitler Youth
yes yes, i do get that, it's hard to describe exactly, but a lot of it has to due with my pure hatred of him and everything he has done. So just suspending my beliefs constantly for that one was a bit tougher but I still enjoyed it as just a movie.
Taika is a Jew whose family fled the holocaust so I think he hates Hitler plenty too
i realize that

Unfortunately, the literal plot of the movie is that liberalism is good.
