I had eighteen babies for the Fuhrer.

We see an incredibly stylish Johansson taking bike rides with her son through verdant fields. Are you still going on about those people? There's a very fine line between successfully mining Hitler and Nazi Germany for laughs and telling distasteful "jokes" that land with an ignominious splat. Why ‘Jojo Rabbit’ Is Social Justice Filmmaking Done Right. They’re just two kids trying to regain normalcy in a world gone mad—because, as Jojo’s mom explains to him, “Dancing is what free people do.”. Ah, Jews, Jews, Jews. :

Jojo Meets Elsa (You Can't Be Here). She revels at first in scaring the young boy with tall tales about the Jews to feed his fevered imagination. When Hitler and Jojo are hanging out in the boy’s bedroom, they talk like kids out of “Superbad” (“Heil me, man!”). It’s theater of the absurd at its best. Let's just call it an absurdist dramedy. Waititi chose a telling epigraph for his film—a quotation from Rainier Maria Rilke's poem "Go to the Limits of Your Longing": Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.
