Great movie, cast, soundtrack and anti-hate message

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2019)

First of all, I haven't read the book by Christine Laurens this movie is based on, but the teaser and trailer for the movie got me immediately hooked.
By the trailer, you can assume it is comedy, but it is far more than that, believe me. Today I had the opportunity to see the movie, and what a movie this is.
It starts as a comedy as seen in trailer, but after a few minutes into it, you realize that it is a serious war drama with comedy in the right places. In my opinion, there wasn't a movie which can balance comedy and tragedy this good, at least not in recent time I remember. For a movie with a dark theme, this one looks so colorful, but it seems that is the point since it is seen from the young boy perspective, and Taika Waititi's movies are full of bright colors.
The cast is perfect; Thomasin, Scarlett, Taika, Alfie, Rebel, Archie as Yorki, and my favorite Sam Rockwell as eccentric Captain Klenzendorfbut, hats off to young Roman Griffin Davis as Jojo - he really caries the movie. Usually, I really disliked Rebel Wilson's appearance in movies, not because of her alone and her acting (she's really good actually) but the type of the movies she was in are not my "cup of tea". But here, she fits absolutely perfect as crazed nazi woman, and she nailed it. From now on, you have my sympathies, young lady.
Taika is genius at his own at filmmaking, his movies are always full of great soundtrack and that style is what gets me more into the movie.
I must thank all of the crew behind this for beautiful movie experience, it is one of the years best, no doubt about it. So, obviously, this is a must watch!
And all of you who cheers for war and more hate, take a look at this one here among the others, and ask yourself - is the war what you really want? Because sooner or later, it will come at your front door and that is a bitter truth.
