Very funny movie, not PC by today's standards
9 February 2019
I thought this movie is very funny and clever. It's not a single story and more like a collection of sketches. As I was watching it, I thought some people would find it offensive today due to the sensitive topic of WW2 and Hitler's crimes. Although it mostly makes fun of the Nazis, some people could say it trivializes the horrors of the war and genocide.

Still, I was disappointed with the low rating of this film. I'm in my 20s and I understand that back in the 70s movies were made differently than today and I am able to appreciate it. Don't expect this movie to be like what you see in theaters 30 years later. Yes, the gags sometimes take too long to get to the punchline, and yes the jokes sometimes seem flat, but that's because we are used to a different style of comedy today. This movie is a product of it's time, and it must be evaluated as such. I've seen a lot of movies with Celentano and they are great, but if they ran in theaters today they would look weird.

If you don't have an appreciation of good old movies, don't even bother with this one. But if you have an open mind and are capable of appreciating a different style of movie, give it a try. Don't take it too seriously and don't be offended. The entire movie is trolling the bad guys.
