7.12.2015

Germany, 2008. Directed by Dennis Gansel. Starring: Juergen Vogel, Frederick Lau, Max Riemelt and others.
The film is based on Tod Strasser's book The Wave (1981). The film is based on real events that took place in the 1970s at a California school.

Our days.An ordinary German school.A school history teacher invites his students to conduct an experiment: high school students will live according to the laws of a totalitarian state for exactly a week. Strict discipline, pervasive control, denunciations, punishments—the Nazi scheme is being recreated with frightening accuracy. Students, unaware that they are being experimented with, see by example how easy it is to manipulate people, turning them into a faceless, obedient mass. At some point, the game gets out of control, and now its participants have to get to the end and discover the darkest side of the dictatorship. The Germans took another look at their history. Their truth about themselves is merciless. But this film even more mercilessly demonstrates our ability to follow the majority without reasoning and doubt. I recommend that teachers and parents watch this film together with children and discuss it. It will also be useful to review this film in history lessons.
