It might be pedantic to criticize the lack of consistency when talking about this film. Do not say something like: "Everything relies on the General’s speech (like Ken Watanabe in Japanese films) and Burt's narration," "How could the three live in Amsterdam where they didn't seem to work at all?" or "Why Amsterdam in the first place?"
I guess this film is intended to be enjoyed for its visuals and a strange sense of happiness (or euphoria?) it conveys. Everyone, even the villains, looked happy being part of the production. I particularly loved the end credits with the art pieces by Valerie (Thanks Wowow for not cutting the end bits!) and how Burt's false eye moved. Oh, the film was all about eyes or eyeballs, perhaps? Is that why Rami Malek (Freddie! Long time no see since Bohemian Rhapsody!) and Anya Taylor-Joy (a beauty with the distinctive and lovely eyes- I hope she will play Judy Garland one day.) appeared?
Last but not least, I appreciate that no bombing or fires were used to wrap up the story (though there were shooting, poisoning and running down)!
