    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Taika Waititi discovered in his research that WWII Germany was very vibrant and fashionable, and was interested in shying away from traditional war films showing it as dreary and dark, instead presenting the town as a seemingly celebratory place and dressing characters as stylishly as possible. He liked the idea that everything seems happy, but just underneath the surface "the third Reich is crumbling, and, you know, the dream is over."
    • Goofs
      The first time an American soldier is seen waving a flag from a balcony, it is one with 50 stars instead of 48. (A common mistake in WW2 films.) The error is later rectified by showing an American in a Jeep waving a correct 48-star flag.
    • Quotes

      [Rosie and Jojo come upon six people hanging from a gallows in the town square]

      Jojo Betzler: What did they do?

      Rosie: What they could.

    • Crazy credits
      There is a quote from a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke right before the closing credits: "Let everything happen to you / Beauty and terror / Just keep going / No feeling is final."

    If you think this is offensive you need to look up Satire in the dictionary
    This is fantastic Political Satire; we need to be able use Satire in the correct way and Waititi did just that. If you think this movie is offensive here is Satires definition:

    Satire 1 a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn 2 trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly
