Jojo Rabbit 2019

It feels utterly irresponsible in the face of our current political climate that Taika decided the best course of action he could take is to make a film about how fascists and white nationalists are actually good people deep down, and that they’re really just foolish and suggestible. And maybe if they just talked to people that belong to…
