I think it’s important to remember that this film is all through Jojo’s perspective. Of course he would look at his world and try to make sense of it through his imagination. All the silly quirks of the characters is because we are seeing through Jojo’s eyes. The first time he sees Elsa, she comes out of the trap door like a monster. The captain acts like a gunslinging cowboy. The gestapo have sickly sweet smiles. Even Jojo himself acts like the rabbit he thinks he is in many subtle ways. Critics can say what they want, but this film is beautiful. 🐇❤️

Upon reaching the end, Taika does have a point though about comedy.. "People think that comedy is NOT an effective tool or is not to be taken SERIOUSLY in an ART form. It's one of the most POWERFUL tools that we have to fight against OPPRESSION, BIGOTRY, and INTOLERANCE. "To poke holes on" these people who promote HATE." That is probably the BIGGEST takeaway of this "Break Down a Scene" and probably the BEST. Thanks Taika, Stephen, and Vanity Fair. ❤️

One string of nonsense that gets repeated every so often is the line "You can't make a Mel Brooks movie these days." Meaning "You can't satirize serious subjects anymore." and "You can't be funny because if you offend anyone the "PC police" will come for you in the night." I for one am thankful Taika Waititi has proven these sentiments to be false.

“You can’t make a Mel brooks movie these days” is that the fact people misinterpret what even mr brooks meant, and say the jokes that offensive are punching down, when really they’re punching up. What they mean is, “I want to be racist and bigoted and have people laugh instead of remind me that’s not polite”

the cinematography is so amazing especially in the foreshadowing for what happens to the mother absolutely amazing for that especially- the establishing shots, if you noticed those shots you'd then see them established with the mother and it hits you like a ton of bricks. but maybe it's just a fakeout- there's still a good helping of hope in the writing, and then it happens.
