FILM 2110: JOJO RABBIT (2019)

TRIVIA: Taika Waititi discovered in his research that WWII Germany was very vibrant and fashionable, and was interested in shying away from traditional war films showing it as dreary and dark, instead presenting the town as a seemingly celebratory place and dressing 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."

The closing song is David Bowie's "Heroes," which is about two lovers separated by the Berlin Wall.

Even though the spoken dialogue is all in English, all written or printed text in the movie is in German.
