Every minute of the film satirically mocks fanaticism. And the film couldn't get any better.

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2020)

Trying to show it in a serious manner, what this film has shown in a satirical way, would have become too depressing and hard hitting. Waititi's satire manages to create a total mockery of the Nazi regime. A ten-year-old, shown to be a Nazi fanatic is actually interesting. It helps us to understand that prejudice is built at a young age. Through various little nuances, Waititi beautifully shows how fanaticism is born and thrives on propaganda, disinformation and character assassination.
There is one really awesome symbolism in the film. In the beginning Jojo doesn't even know how to tie his shoe lace, and in the end he ties Elsa's shoe lace. Which tries shows how fanatics don't have even basic knowledge and yet they seem as if to have an understanding of the world. When Jojo learns to tie the shoe lace in the end, it shows how he has learned much about the world and he gives up on Nazism.
