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 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."

Goofs
The 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 credits
There 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."

Moving, hilarious...tragic

The trailer for the movie had me scratching my head but as a HUGE fan of Waititi I felt I ought to give it a shot.

My best spoiler free review is that this is an original, outrageous film. The emotional gamut we are subjected to is whiplash inducing, but without the neck brace and ambulance chasing lawyers.

Every actor is perfection. Young JoJo and Yorkie are devastatingly earnest and so talented. Sam Rockwell is always a master. Every subtle satire is underwritten with a grim level of truth. The soundtrack n unexpected choice.

Go see it. Prepare yourself for quite a ride.
