>Disney is moving ahead on the Fox film projects it acquired after the $71.3 billion deal. The merger means Disney now owns and releases films from indie powerhouse Fox Searchlight Pictures. First out of the gate this fall from the 25-year-old indie studio is Taika Waititi’s “Jojo Rabbit.” The Nazi Germany-set comedy-drama is billed as an “anti-hate satire” and features Waititi playing an imaginary version of Adolf Hitler, hardly the content associated with Disney’s family-friendly brand.
>According to Variety, the Nazi subject matter at the heart of “Jojo Rabbit” is worrying some Disney executives. Variety’s report reads: “The scathing takedown of Nazism may, however, prove a little too edgy for Disney brass accustomed to producing movies suitable for parents and kids. Searchlight has started to screen the film for its new parent company. Halfway through one recent viewing one executive grew audibly uncomfortable, worrying aloud that the material would alienate Disney fans.”
>isney and Waititi have a great relationship after the New Zealand filmmaker worked on the Marvel Cinematic Universe entry “Thor: Ragnarok,” which grossed $854 million worldwide. Waititi was clearly a beloved figure by Disney as Marvel announced at Comic-Con the director would return to helm the November 2021 sequel “Thor: Love and Thunder.”
>One reason Waititi’s Nazi satire might ease Disney executives’ fears is that it’s a major awards hopeful. “Jojo Rabbit” will world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, a launching pad for Oscar films, and is one of Fox Searchlight’s potential fall awards contenders. Should “Jojo Rabbit” deliver with Oscar voters, the subject matter might be easier for the Mouse House to swallow. More importantly, a “Jojo Rabbit” success will prove to Disney that edgy, left-of-center concepts are still profitable on the indie level.
I hear it's a great satirical satire that satirizes satirically
Benjamin Diaz
Not many people legitimately care about nazi's anymore, but they were so bumbling and clownish and cartoonish that they're funny to make fun of. Which is what this film is doing.

Satire is the lowest form of comedy you fucking trash. And Disney only cares about your friends in China anyway
Camden Clark
The leader closest to the ideals of Hitler today is probably Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel (strong ethnostate, militarism, similar economic system, etc)

>they managed to conquer most of europe only because they had based their entire state on war and had been preparing for it for years while other countries hadn't. Once the other nations had mobilised they got their shit pushed in i.e. Operation Barbarossa and the Soviet counter-offensive
Landon Ward
Name non obvious satire. Also the obsession with America is pretty pathetic, seek mental help on that one my dude

>Largest film-making company in history with near total monopoly >Scared to take even the slightest risk on a regime and figure already ridiculed to the point of self-parody
>Germans attack the French through Belgium in WW1 >The French prepare for WW2 by ignoring their border with Belgium Why? Was the government and military run by German sympathizers?
It was riddled with "pacifist" commies but their main problem with the war was they thought everything should be devoted to the offense, so when Germany attacked faster than expected in WWII the French had no plan to stop them. It's also not unlikely they intended to get invaded again to motivate the intervention of the US, for "globalist" reasons.
