No, but it is definitely different. It's not a documentary, not Schindler's list

or Sobibor. And it has some hilarious parts. I didn't need another film like those to show me how bad the Nazis or Hitler were, and I wouldn't say it glamorizes them at all.

What it did an excellent job of was illustrating how Hitler and Nazis had managed to create an entire society that was ridiculous and perverse in the extreme. This was especially well done through the relationship between Jojo and Hitler. And to me, as much as the Schindler's List type films are really important, films like Jojo Rabbit that highlight the societal absurdities that give rise to things like the Third Reich are just as important - if not more.
