on second thought after today's convo about JoJo Rabbit,I'm pretty sure the camp counselor was with the resistance.Which I guess makes the movie's major flaw that there's very few characterized Nazis who are fully devoted (basically just the woman who had 19 babies for the Reich)

Having one of the only hardcore Nazis be this misogynistic joke is an eeenh choice

I mean she's a joke about stuff the Nazis really believed in but no one in real life actually pumped out babies for the Reich despite the programs they set up to encourage it

Yeah, that's suboptimal. I'm trying to think of any other named fully committed Nazis. I guess the Gestapo leader but he's only in the one scene

I feel like if I was trying to full throatedly defend/Stan JJR, which I don't feel it really needs, but if I was, I'd say the lack of full true believers is kind of the point, because it's trying to show us a society like ours where everyone is slowly becoming complicit

Where even the Resistance thinks anti-Semitic jokes are hilarious

Rebel Wilson's character is more or less straight-evil - she has the kids doing suicide runs at the end (or is she the one who had the 19 kids? I forgot...)

The one who says the one line I thought was a bit too on the nose, too ("we have to kill everything that looks different!") I had to rationalize that with "this must be a slightly older Jojo with a somewhat unreliable memory looking back"

Well yeah the whole movie is because he's an unreliable narrator, hence Hitler appearing in it

Isn't there an implication the damage to his face is way worse than how we see it

I thought it definitely was more damaged, yes, but more figured that was just a theater-indulgence for the PG-13 or to (hypocritically) make him a more marketable protagonist

("theater-indulgence" being my term for whatever it's called in stage theater when Macbeth is a Latina woman or whatever but we're not meant to actually think the character is a Latina woman, etc)
