Deserved Best Picture!

Ok, I thought this would be my style of offbeat humor and it definitely is. I didn't expect, however, the depth, emotion and tenderness along with the humor.
The beginning was the quirky silliness I expected (I love it but also realize not everyone does). Then, well let's avoid spoilers and just say things got complicated.And that's when JoJo went from absurdist comedy (Think Life of Brian only with Hitler) to something more like a Chaplin comedy, the kind that has who laughing one moment and crying the next.
I loved the look and feel of it. Sometimes it has a cartoon feel about it but the characters are three dimensional, full of emotion.
This could have been silly, could have been hideously offensive but some how Waititi and cast pulled it all together. I realize it won't work for everyone, the whole idea of anything funny with nazis is may be intolerable for some people, and that's reasonable.
But if your sense of humor is a little unconventional, this is a must see.
