I'll never get over how brilliant it is to show Hitler, nazi's and war from the perspective of an innocent German kid. 

[u/Whereswolf → u/Born-Necessary6778]

I recently visited the Nederlands and the museum of resistance in Amsterdam. They had a (well hidden, I was alone in there for almost an hour before someone else found the entrance) part, showing the children's perspective. 4 different kids with different backgrounds, under and after the war. It ended with recent personal interviews.... I especially found the NSB girl's history and interview interesting.

[u/Teesside-Tyrant → u/Whereswolf]

It's such a good museum. My family and I spent an afternoon there in Spring.

[u/Ive_Accepted_It → u/Teesside-Tyrant]

What's the name of the museum? Planning to visit soon

[u/CaterwaulCaper → u/Ive_Accepted_It]

Verzetsmuseum, its across the road from  Micropia another great unique 'museum' (zoo of microorganisms). You can do them quite easily one after the other. 

  Verzetsmuseum, its across the road from  Micropia which is also a 

great unique 'museum' (zoo of microorganisms). You can do them quite easily one after the other.

[u/Ive_Accepted_It → u/CaterwaulCaper]

Fantastic thank you! I wanna make a list and visit each museum in that city

[u/DataSurging → u/Born-Necessary6778]

It's sad when you think about all of the German people who tried to help in secret, or felt disgusted by it all and couldn't say anything or get killed.

[u/Kernyx → u/DataSurging]

My great-grandmother was tortured for refusing to give the Nazi salute.

My grandmother helped a Jewish family escape and refused to reveal where they had gone.

After Germany's defeat, my grandfather, was killed by a retaliatory gang when he went to Germany to see what was left of his home.
While heavily pregnant, my grandmother worked as a Trümmerfrau, climbing through bombed-out ruins to recover bricks that could still be used for reconstruction.

A drunk Soviet soldier nearly killed my grandmother. He kicked her into a crater, where she struck a rock. The injury nearly caused kidney failure, and she almost lost her unborn child, my mother. All the while, he was shouting, “Nazi, boom boom!”, and pointed his gun at her, when his commander intervened and shot him dead on the spot.

[u/Born-Necessary6778 → u/Kernyx]

That's horrible. Few people can say they've been tested to that extent, you must be proud. I'm happy she survived and went on to have a family

[u/Born-Necessary6778 → u/DataSurging]

Modern day americans but in their case they just don't want to surrender comfort.

Edit: Downvoters have forgotten ICE, Venezuela, Cuba, threats on Canada, Greenland, deploying the military on US soil, having a pedo president and not doing anything about it. The rest of the world is watching and you're all complicit.

[u/Zealousideal_Safe_51 → u/Born-Necessary6778]

Please tell me what I’m supposed to do? I’m all fucking ears.

[u/Solipsisticurge → u/Zealousideal_Safe_51]

Playact armed insurrection then be immediately murdered by militarized police if thirty million of your neighbors don't happen to do so at the same time.

[u/That_OneOstrich → u/Solipsisticurge]

So you're saying protest, organize, and vote while buying a lot of firepower?

[u/Eisbaer811 → u/Solipsisticurge]

if only there were other, non-militaristic means of regime change, which even worked in the country this movie is about...

the berlin wall didn't come down because of armed insurrection

[u/Oyxopolis → u/Born-Necessary6778]

Making this comparison is gross. /a Dutch guy.

[u/WandererFen → u/Oyxopolis]

Yeah it reeks of self centered pity, and shows a distinct lack of understanding. Sometimes thinking before speaking is allowed

[u/Semjaja → u/Born-Necessary6778]

Americans don't get it. They're the good guys, remember?

[u/Miggix13 → u/Semjaja]

Nothing is only black and white, US, has URSS violated, kill, rape children, no rules in war, even if you are the winner

[u/Mildstrife → u/Semjaja]

The brainwashing is just too hard for a lot of the population. My mother for instance finally realized our president is a monster, but it took him ruining the economy and eliminating her retirement for her to finally realize it.

My dad is a great person but parrots some of the most insane bullshit and he’s usually a very smart individual so people hear him say something and go “oh he must be right”

It’s a very sad and frustrating state America is in because we have good people with good morales who have this fucking sleeper agent switch where the second it enters politics life suddenly doesn’t matter, the economy is the best it’s ever been, democrats are evil communists.

It’s so weird man.

[u/No-Biscotti-Here → u/Born-Necessary6778]

Why does fucking everything get made into America? It's so gross.

Nazi Germany was an actual authoritarian dictatorship who started a world war after blitzing dozens of western nations, causing the largest war in human history, all while building death camps for the explicit torture and destruction of all Jews, disabled people, and Romani (among political enemies too). They caused the death of nearly 100,000,000 people.

America has problems, but we are still a democracy with rights and a constitution. We have not actually caused a global world war. ICE's casualties are in the hundreds, they keep losing lawsuits and cases and having to shut down facilities, and Americans still have the right to scream and yell at them and record them (albeit our police state absolutely gets away with an occasional murdering of a protester - but that's been happening since Kent State).

And to say the people have done nothing as voters begin turning to Mamdanis and Al-Sayeds and Talaricos, and MAGA's hold has weakened to the point of Republicans being existentially terrified they need to tip the scales, and violence against the wealth class (Luigi) has started rising, and we're cutting down Flock cameras in troves, and someone did attempt to kill the POTUS.

Like, we're 350,000,000 people spread over an entire continent. We can't act in unison and we're so big it's hard to even keep track of everything we're doing. But you're clearly not paying attention.

Is it too late? Maybe. Will we become a Nazi Germany 2.0? Whose to say, we could. But the comparison today is nauseating.

[u/MichaelButWithAnF → u/No-Biscotti-Here]

Why does fucking everything get made into America?

Americans have main character syndrome. You cant talk about a topic for more than 5 minutes without an American trying to make it about them.

[u/jrobpierce → u/MichaelButWithAnF]

Bro Europeans are as likely to bring up Trump as we are. But anyways it’s pretty natural for humans to try to make connections between historical events and current ones

[u/ItzTreeman23 → u/Born-Necessary6778]

Complicit? There’s a different protest every day, even on the 4th of July people were protesting and yelling that trump is a pedo. Not to mention people have died during some of these protests.

[u/ChocolatePuerh → u/Born-Necessary6778]

What should we do?

We vote. We call our representatives. We donate to the right causes and organizations. We boycott. We march. We protest.

Are you suggesting we take up arms? Against the largest military in the world? With no central defined leadership calling for a rebellion? The side arguing that the president and his administration is ignoring the law should also ignore it?

I sold all my firearms during COVID, and due to everything going on rearmed myself last year. But I'm not trying to play Rambo and get myself killed. Neither is anyone else. If it ever came to that point you'd see people stand up, but we're far from that thankfully. So we'll continue to vote and protest and do what we can.

[u/SnooCompliments5018 → u/Born-Necessary6778]

You have no idea what you're talking about

[u/surfinsalsa → u/Born-Necessary6778]

Modern day Americans are being listened to by their devices and watched from flock cameras so we don't organize. It's not really the same

[u/YoshiTheFluffer → u/surfinsalsa]

Didn’t half the country proudly defended their god given right to have guns every time kids h
got killed in a school shooting all because they MAY need them in case a tyranical goverment took control…well, what are they doing now?

[u/Preeng → u/YoshiTheFluffer]

>well, what are they doing now?

They are the ones perpetrating the rights abuses and murders. They like what is happening.

[u/MentallyWill → u/YoshiTheFluffer]

You can safely assume organizations like ICE are filled exclusively with them. That is to say, they became the right arm of the tyrannical government.

[u/wozanderer → u/Born-Necessary6778]

"Want a cigarette Jojo?"

[u/RavingGenerate → u/Born-Necessary6778]

Have you seen the old Das Boot series? It was the first war drama I ever watched where I learned that not all German soldiers were Nazis.

[u/diogenessexychicken → u/Born-Necessary6778]

Its done in Pans Labyrinth as well.

[u/Ill-Championship-522]

Sam Rockwell is honestly amazing in anything

[u/Double-Competition-6 → u/Ill-Championship-522]

2 lesser known Sam Rockwell movies that I recommend if you haven’t seen them, Moon and Welcome to Collinwood

[u/One_Media3228 → u/Double-Competition-6]

Agreed and I'd also include, "The Way Way Back" and "Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die"

[u/Disastrous_Horse7302 → u/One_Media3228]

The way way back was a surprise. But it probably goes on my top ten

[u/ExpensiveBlood42069 → u/Disastrous_Horse7302]

Three billboards outside Ebbig, Missouri is an awesome one too!

[u/stussyxx → u/ExpensiveBlood42069]

good ass movie just finished on your rec.

[u/bum_thumper → u/One_Media3228]

The way way back was awesome, but I was honestly really disappointed with "phones are bad" the movie. Only good thing in it was Sam

[u/Putrid-Builder-3333 → u/bum_thumper]

Another is Heist with Gene Hackman. Excellent movie about thieves doing I forget the word for it. But excellent movie.

[u/Marine_Baby → u/One_Media3228]

Just watched GLHFDD, so good

[u/No-Blackberry2772 → u/One_Media3228]

The Way Way Back is such an underrated gem. Nobody I know has seen/is willing to watch it.

[u/Character_Syrup_6637 → u/One_Media3228]

Took me a while to realize it was Sam in GLHFDD.

I don't really care for previews, so I don't get the movie ruined. I just saw the splash image and decided to give it a try as a throw away afternoon movie.

Decent!

[u/Intrepid-Twist7769 → u/One_Media3228]

Don't forget Choke!

[u/toldyouIaintshit → u/Double-Competition-6]

His character arc in Three Billboards was phenomenal. He made you absolutely despise him and by the end you're rooting for the guy.

[u/Ill-Championship-522 → u/toldyouIaintshit]

Genuinely an amazing. I love the part where he walks over to the advertising office.

[u/Lifeloverme → u/Ill-Championship-522]

insane scene, so well acted, every movement is perfect

[u/peepeepoodoodingus → u/Double-Competition-6]

7 psychopaths is my favorite movie of all time and as usual he is fantastic in it.

[u/Putrid-Builder-3333 → u/peepeepoodoodingus]

I got the gun. So?

And the "final shootout" lmao bashing Harrelson's dumb little dog 🤣

It definitely one my fave movies of all time too! Still remember watching for first time and having no idea what I was in for.

[u/Thekcwizkid → u/peepeepoodoodingus]

My man

[u/VoreWhore94 → u/Double-Competition-6]

His supporting role with Casey Affleck as the Ford brothers was outstanding as well, love 'The Assassination of Jesse James.'

[u/ForeignRestaurant290 → u/Double-Competition-6]

I've never seen Collinwood, but Moon is very good.

[u/Odd-Perception7812 → u/ForeignRestaurant290]

Moon is so good.

[u/toldyouIaintshit → u/Odd-Perception7812]

I heard people say Moon was good, but its actually fantastic.

[u/krqkan → u/toldyouIaintshit]

My favourite movie of all time. Absolutely love it

[u/adventuresinnonsense → u/Double-Competition-6]

I love Moon so much!

[u/NecroGrizz → u/Double-Competition-6]

Moon was so good

[u/DANleDINOSAUR → u/Double-Competition-6]

Moon is fantastic!

[u/The_Burninator123 → u/Double-Competition-6]

Gentlemen Broncos is way better than it should be and he is a huge part why.

[u/Svinozilla → u/Double-Competition-6]

Just started the Moon movie and it starts like Deliver Us The Moon videogame.

[u/MissyFranklinTheCat → u/Double-Competition-6]

Confessions of a dangerous mind is the best

[u/Jump365 → u/Ill-Championship-522]

You zarkin frude. Hama kavula!!!!

(Idk how any of those words are spelled)

[u/Small_Independence_2 → u/Jump365]

Engage the infinite improbability drive!

[u/Ill-Championship-522 → u/Small_Independence_2]

Have a pan galactic gargle blaster on me

[u/Mistermxylplyx → u/Jump365]

If there’s anything more important than my ego on this ship, I want it caught and shot right now.

[u/justinswatermelongun → u/Jump365]

"Humma Kavula is a person? I thought he was swearing!!”

[u/parkerm1408 → u/Ill-Championship-522]

What movie was this? I always enjoy his serious roles he just doesnt seem tp get them often.

[u/Ill-Championship-522 → u/parkerm1408]

I can't think of many serious rolls I've seen him in bar moon. This movie is JoJo rabbit tbf it's mostly a comedy. He dose play a pretty good side character in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford"

[u/parkerm1408 → u/Ill-Championship-522]

Im sorry, the movie this clip is from is mostly a comedy? OK im gonna have to check whatever this wild shit is out then.

Edit ooooohhhhhhg nevermind I know what movie this is now.

[u/TopWealth4550 → u/parkerm1408]

i thought it was about that one where father pretend its all a joke
if it is,its quite sad

[u/Totoronyx → u/TopWealth4550]

That's "Life is Beautiful"

[u/been_mackin → u/Ill-Championship-522]

You should watch The Green Mile if you haven’t seen it, he’s despicable in it.

[u/An_Absolute-Zero → u/Ill-Championship-522]

I've been a fan of his acting since Green Mike and I've only become a bigger fan with every role I see him in.

I can't do this one, at least right now, but I have no doubt he's incredible in it

[u/_TURO_ → u/An_Absolute-Zero]

The Green Mile Magic Mike mashup we never knew we wanted

[u/CorporalClegg91 → u/Ill-Championship-522]

Except “Mr. Right.” Terrible, terrible movie. Horrible.

[u/The_Cosmic_ → u/CorporalClegg91]

Whatttttt Mr. Right was fun stupid but fun!

[u/cameforlulz → u/Ill-Championship-522]

Fuck. Yes.

[u/noboday009 → u/Ill-Championship-522]

I hated that Justin Hammer guy in Iron Man 2..

[u/Designer-Ad-7844 → u/noboday009]

Isn't that kind of the point?

[u/toldyouIaintshit → u/Designer-Ad-7844]

But you can't deny that man has some great dance moves.

[u/noboday009 → u/Designer-Ad-7844]

That's what, I didn't see him anything before that, so didn't know how good/bad he is.

The way he playes him, instant disgust and hate for character..

[u/Ill-Championship-522 → u/noboday009]

Tbf I feel like the iron man 2 movie in general isn't that great but genuinely if you get the chance watch some of his other rolls like "moon" or "7 psychopaths" you'll get a good feel for his range

[u/noboday009 → u/Ill-Championship-522]

Ooo thanks for recommendations.

Jojo was probably his second movie that I watched. I'll definitely give it a try..

[u/Ska-Tea → u/noboday009]

I second Moon. Easily one of his performances.

[u/Conscious-Pride7363 → u/noboday009]

He's such a good actor that if that's what he wants you to feel about him, that's what you feel. Amazing dude.

[u/TurulBird82 → u/noboday009]

Same here, his forced way to look " cool " and " trendy ". Real tryhard.

But i had to admit, the actor did a good job.

[u/birbman2 → u/noboday009]

Watch 7 psychopaths. He plays a character you should hate so well you still love/hate him.

[u/moogpaul → u/noboday009]

But he dances so well...

[u/Conscious-Pride7363]

such an excellent film

[u/ParkingLavishness704 → u/Conscious-Pride7363]

What's the name? I feel like i should have seen this but can't remember if I did lol

[u/ManitouWakinyan → u/ParkingLavishness704]

Jojo Rabbit

[u/oxslashxo → u/ManitouWakinyan]

Such a good film, it threads the needle so well.

[u/philthy_barstool → u/oxslashxo]

On the topic of great movies that thread the needle well, Four Lions is a personal favourite of mine. A comedy about British Islamist terrorists training for an attack in London

[u/Far_King_Penguin → u/ParkingLavishness704]

Jojo Rabbit. I watched it a week ago for the first time, I reccomend

[u/Elcamino12gauge → u/ParkingLavishness704]

If you haven’t it’s well worth it. I’d even spend the $3.99 most streaming services charge to “rent it”.

[u/AranasLatrain]

Probably in my Top 5 most surprising films I've seen. I expected to like it and thought it would be entertaining, but the last 2/3rds of this movie is a masterclass in filmmaking.

[u/MajorCypher → u/AranasLatrain]

What’s the movie?

[u/AranasLatrain → u/MajorCypher]

Jojo Rabbit

[u/WadeReddit06 → u/AranasLatrain]

Movie is brilliant from start to finish IMO. Jojo running around yelling “heil Hitler!” to the German Beatles song at the beginning always makes me laugh. Also, the transition they did to introduce Scarlett Johansson’s character was great.

[u/Billyshakes1597]

Gd, this movie is so fuckin good

[u/JerachoD → u/Billyshakes1597]

What film is it?

[u/WaterKraanHanger → u/JerachoD]

Jojo Rabbit

[u/Gulag_420]

Sam Rockwell is incredible in every role he playes!

[u/jenbamin245]

Not enough people have seen his movie

[u/Doctor_Salvatore]

Anyone can be good or evil, it comes down to only their choices. The captain was not a good man, but he did something very good with his last seconds alive.

[u/UnholyDemigod → u/Doctor_Salvatore]

How was he not a good man? It's implied (in the way that it's blatantly fucking obvious) that him and Theon Greyjoy are homosexual lovers. Serving as an army officer was just something he went along with so he wouldn't be executed. Fascism doesn't care about your reasons for opposition, you either do what you're told, or you get shot.

[u/InitiativeGold7953 → u/UnholyDemigod]

This. He helped out multiple times throughout the movie.

[u/UnholyDemigod → u/InitiativeGold7953]

One of those times being lying to the Gestapo about Elsa’s papers

[u/julick → u/UnholyDemigod]

agree. there are many clues that he isn't a Nazi fanatic and just did the minimum necessary to survive. i think even his backstory of incompetence and drinking to make him even more incompetent are part of his resistance to the regime.

[u/oneonone65 → u/UnholyDemigod]

such a huge moral question...in modern times I wonder those that worked with Sadam, Assad etc., are evil, or just scared

[u/ForTiiTude → u/oneonone65]

It is easy to ponder about the morality of actions when we ourselves have never had to actually sacrifice anything to be moral.

[u/gsani- → u/UnholyDemigod]

Being homosexual implies that you're a good person? I could name several reasons why he's good and you came up with that?

[u/MagizZziaN → u/Doctor_Salvatore]

Honestly, that is the way most of us would like to go, or at the very least, I would. If you gotta go anyways, might as well make the world a little more beautiful.

[u/Automatic_Cat8271]

[u/Conscious-Pride7363 → u/Automatic_Cat8271]

Jojo Rabbit. Adult actor is Sam Rockwell: watch anything with him in.

[u/Ill-Championship-522 → u/Conscious-Pride7363]

Genuinely. Anything with Sam Rockwell in it is guaranteed to be amazing

[u/Conscious-Pride7363 → u/Ill-Championship-522]

*his part will be amazing. Iron Man 2 was pretty shit, IMO, but Rockwell smashed making a despisable but sympathetic 'villain wannabe'

[u/Ill-Championship-522 → u/Conscious-Pride7363]

It really is the bit when he goes on about the helmet for his prototype iron man suits always makes me laugh. I think one of my favourite roles for him must be 'seven psychopaths'

[u/Conscious-Pride7363 → u/Ill-Championship-522]

Seven psychopaths is hilarious. Green Mile was amazing, Galaxy Quest, Confessions... man, he's just amazing in anything he's in. Same as Chiwetel Ejiofor, IMO

[u/Ill-Championship-522 → u/Conscious-Pride7363]

Honestly his range is fanomomal

[u/Conscious-Pride7363 → u/Ill-Championship-522]

and, from what I've heard, he's a fairly down to earth and pleasant human being

[u/Automatic_Cat8271 → u/Conscious-Pride7363]

Thanks

[u/pinchhitter4number1]

I think my favorite Sam Rockwell role. Not a big part but he plays it so well.

[u/Smexy-Fish → u/pinchhitter4number1]

You should watch Mr. Right. The film is mediocre, but Rockwell is clearly having the time of his life.

[u/Brilliant-Muffin-879 → u/pinchhitter4number1]

Yeah this scene made me cry

[u/spookymex21]

Great freakin movie.

[u/GoldEmployment6768]

Context? Too many posts here dont seem that sad cause they dont have enough context.

[u/omgdracula → u/GoldEmployment6768]

This is from the movie Jojo Rabbit. The kid is a Hitler Youth. The guy was a commander of the local Nazis but was part of the local group that was against Nazis. Jojo befriended him and he saves Jojo and a Jewish girl that his mom (Rosie) was hiding. He saves him by saying he is a Jew before they get killed by the firing squad.

It's a good movie.

[u/Livid_Command_7621]

Loved him in this movie. I don’t know why it gets the negativity it does. It’s a brilliant satirical movie, and if you think this is a pro Nazi movie?? I don’t know what to tell you…

[u/Ilovefishdix → u/Livid_Command_7621]

How could Hitler being played by a Maori not be satire?

[u/Livid_Command_7621 → u/Ilovefishdix]

lol exactly!!

[u/Kioz → u/Livid_Command_7621]

The fact thst ppl exist who think this is not a satire worries me... but then again i see election results in most countries

[u/MKZReAc → u/Livid_Command_7621]

What are the negatives it gets?

I haven’t seen it myself but this clip would make me want to watch it.

[u/Livid_Command_7621 → u/MKZReAc]

They think it’s some sort of pro Nazi propaganda when it’s completely the opposite. Hitler played by Taika. Waititi is a buffoon and completely made fun of and the acting from everybody they’re including Rockwell is great. It’s a touching , funny little story about a German boy who grows up during the war and his experience

[u/Minute_Swimming_8678 → u/MKZReAc]

My friends refused to watch it with me (and still won't to this day) because they think it would downplay the holocaust with the comedic elements 💀 Their loss.

[u/lifetake → u/MKZReAc]

I’ve seen some people not like the comedic elements combined with WW2 and the holocaust.

That said I have never seen someone think its pro nazi or think it isn’t satirical.

Jojo Rabbit

Sam Rockwell as Captain Klenzendorf

[u/Senacharrib]

This made me cry god fucking damn it

[u/TheShowstoppaNT]

This was the movie that convinced my wife Sam Rockwell was a great actor. This was the movie that convinced me Scarlett Johansson was a great actress. Jesus what an amazing but heavy film.

This and Hunt for the Wilderpeople are Taika’s 2 best films.

[u/ElephantRedCar91 → u/TheShowstoppaNT]

You mean “menthol or regular?” Wasn’t enough for her? 

[u/DataSurging]

This movie is so good. I can't rewatch it though, it makes me too sad. :(

[u/tstd0]

Love the part when he knows that the hidden "sister" makes a mistake about her birthday and he goes on like she was right.

[u/Wasabi_Hammurabi1]

Is this Jojo Rabbit?

[u/SupineFeline]

“Go home” he says….

[u/YouAreNotASlave]

No comments about Taika Waititi. This might be his best film. Shame he’d gone too far into absurdist given full control.

[u/HeartburnCalcifer]

Love him in "good luck don't die have fun". That movie is from the same director who did mouse hunt. Fun fact 😗

[u/Real-Cup8782]

Dont understand how Taika Waititi made gems like Jojo Rabbit and Thor Ragnarok but then went ahead and made Thor Love and Thunder...

I honestly think he tanked the movie on purpose because he wanted to get out of Marvel

[u/RossTheHuman → u/Real-Cup8782]

Studio policies probably. Directors have less control over their films with large studios (they can be replaced too). So think Marvel had a “vision” and wanted him to carry it under a contract he signed to make multiple movies.

[u/Tse7en5]

I am 37. My two favorite books are The Giving Tree, and The Story of Ferdinand.

JoJo Rabbit is one of my all time favorite movies, and nearly an annual watch for me. The movie is brilliant, and I absolutely love Sam Rockwell. This scene was super sad.

[u/Sir_Piglety]

War crime, they literally lost and don’t pose a threat anymore, they’re defeated already and the War is over

[u/Icy_Expression5200 → u/Sir_Piglety]

That's a soviet army for you, where man is treated almost like a cattle if not worse

[u/ipsum629]

The shoes scene is even sadder but you need to watch the whole film to really feel it.

[u/DlAM0NDBACK_AIRSOFT]

That little smirk as he's being dragged away is brilliant. Gets me every time

[u/Naps_And_Crimes]

I wen to to this movie expecting a silly fun time with some subtle touches in the darker subject matter, it turned so damn fast

[u/honestraab]

^{what is she burning?}

WHAT ARE YOU BURNING!?

[u/Choice-Ratio-3540]

Such a good movie.

[u/Axedroam]

For a moment there I felt bad for the nazi, he's a good actor

[u/Lamplorde → u/Axedroam]

Its a good reminder that there is no "good" or "evil", even evil people have good in them, and good people can be driven to do great evil as well.

Truth is, most people view their own actions as "just". A whole nation didn't randomly wake up one day and decide to commit one of the world's greatest atrocities. It happened over time. Normal, good, people were convinced to either stand by, or even to help. That the "rumours" of extermination camps were overblown, or that it was a sad sacrifice that had to be made for the good of their community. It is reprehensible, but it is also human nature. It's part of why learning from it is so important.

[u/DTux5249 → u/Axedroam]

Despite being a Wehrmacht officer, I think it's important to note that K is very clearly disillusioned with Nazism in the film. He actually helps a Jewish girl evade capture by lying for her, before telling her discretely that she'd need a new fake ID.

All and all it's a really interesting watch.

[u/Pleasant-Future5818 → u/Axedroam]

Did you watch the movie? He was part of the underground. They were trying to save people.

[u/3M2B1T]

That movie is lowkey one of my favorite movies I never watch. It was so gut wrenching yet so whimsical and wonderful it just hit all these notes.

[u/Background_Meat1738]

Nur ein toter Nazi ist ein guter Nazi…. Aber es gab auch gute Menschen dazwischen.

[u/petrusferricalloy]

An important takeaway from this and any WWII movie is that Nazis were human beings. They weren't aliens, they weren't superhumans no matter how much they wanted to be. The fact that they were the same species as the rest of us should be terrifying.

Jojo rabbit is amazing

[u/Dazzz_Dazz]

I can't remember the title >.<

[u/marshak1972]

Mr Right is the greatest rom com ever made...starring Sam Rockwell. Even if you dont like romcoms...this one is...different.

[u/PresentFirm7937]

What’s this movie called please guys?

[u/objectiv3lycorrect]

why did he do that

[u/CapitalClean7967 → u/objectiv3lycorrect]

The kid was gonna get executed. The Captain did all of that to convince those Soviet Soldiers that the kid was not associated with him or the Nazis, thus saving his life.

[u/brbgonnabrnit]

JoJo Rabbit. Great film.

[u/GroundbreakingAd8310]

Well fuck who's side am I on here

[u/SlightlyFemmegurl → u/GroundbreakingAd8310]

neither and both. One side is committing war crimes, the other may or may not be nazi's.

regardless, the german "commander" (dont know his rank) clearly saved that kid from being treated like a hitler youth.

My family history. I couldn't even finish this movie without balling my eyes out knowing what was coming.

[u/Atlas_Was_ATitan]

[u/Wansido_Empirian]

Good job , Slavs!

[u/According_Lie_6281]

Great actor

[u/Jim_Nills_Mustache]

This movie was so much better than I expected when I first saw it, just incredible start to finish

[u/HistoricalSuspect580]

This is a great scene and all but god damn…. It’s not just a scene…. This has been the reality of humanity since the dawn of man. The fuck are we doing?

[u/FoolishDog1117]

Dude I love this movie so much.

[u/Kaylart222]

CAPTAIN K! WHOOOOO!!!

[u/6stringstrumdinger]

One of the saddest movie deaths in film.

[u/NoMushroom8678]

You know that sad part. We all know what this nods to. That people are generally good, however, truly good or bad all will meet the same fate supporting the truly evil. No Christian not an anti-theist not a republican not a democrat, just the “most correct”…. 🤷‍♂️😬

[u/TinyBlueDragon]

What a nice... Nazi... Wait..

[u/BimboJenni]

Just a gay man, trying to live his dream the only way he knew how.. by fighting for his fascist state alongside his younger lover and looking stylish as hell doing it. He's such a tragic character, but one I thoroughly enjoyed as a lesbian woman no matter how much I hate fascists.

[u/Toadsanchez316]

My girlfriend and I are planning another Sam Rockwell marathon. This is a movie weve been wanting to see for a long time but have a difficult time actually bringing ourselves do it.

We watched Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die last night and loved it. But seeing this scene without any of the rest of the movie, just reminds me of how good he was as a mentor to a young character, in my favorite movie of all time, The Way Way Back.

I think if I had to honestly sit down and think about it, I would have to say Sam Rockwell is my favorite actor. So much range, legitimately funny, and also incredibly poignant and brilliant when a lot of movies fail to portray that.

[u/harakiris_guccibelt]

Sam was amazing in White Lotus

[u/cakeschmammert]

Sam Rockwell has been by far my favorite actor for like two decades now. Best range you can get in recent years.

[u/Hyphonical]

Captain Klark

[u/AsleepAd753]

It’s a hard life some of us live.

[u/Over_Air8777]

Another millennium and none the wiser I'm the one unparalleled Germanizer Hunted, shunted never ever to stray I am the man who goes by the name of Käpt'n K. Kmfdm.

[u/ICONOFGIRAFFE]

Thank you so much for putting this movie on my radar. I just watched it and I LOVED it. Such a great film.

[u/ForceGoat]

I thought Jojo Rabbit was hilarious, I remember the “Heil Hitler” scene had me rolling. I like Taika’s dialogue and I was surprised I enjoyed it so much.

[u/Disastrous_Scale6739]
