39. "Jojo Rabbit" (2019)

We've had some odd movies on World War II Movie Night, but
tonight's "Jojo Rabbit" is odd for its unexpectedness. The modern
genre of comedy that mixes humor and pathos produced a World War
II movie, and there's more to it than one might think.
Hitler-Youth devotee Jojo, 10, navigates life in late-war Germany
after a terrible accident. Challenges include his
Resistance-happy mother, his relationship with the big man
himself, and a surprise houseguest who causes him to question his
core beliefs. Come for the quirkiness, stay for the interesting
perspectives on the War... Asides include a long-winded rant on
comedy movies of the last 40 years, that 'The Beatles' is a pun,
and how exactly do we describe someone who's overweight in
today's climate, like, what words?
