Surprised At how much I enjoyed it

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2020)

*I don't know why but my review was severely edited by imdb. They removed all my experience with recent antisemitism and how hearing the antisemitism was difficult to hear* It is all necessary to make the story complete. Jojo being indoctrinated at a young age into Hitler youth and not realizing how ridiculous those ideas really are until he learns for himself that, yes, Jewish people ARE PEOPLE TOO! It was heartbreaking and funny all at the same time.
Hitler as his imaginary friend was absurd to me at first, but this is through the eyes of a young boy. Things are all fun and games until the horrors of war really hits home. Having Jojo realize hating people for no reason is wrong and that the one person he has left in his life is the one person he was brought up to hate and kill was very beautiful.
It felt influenced by Wes Anderson, who I like a lot.
It left me in tears at the end.
