De Welle(The Wave) Hard coded in Eng avi torrent

The German film The Wave is a frightening tale of social conformity based on

actual events that took place in Palo Alto, California.

When Rainer Wegner, a popular high school teacher, finds himself relegated to

teaching autocracy as part of the schools project week, hes less than

enthusiastic. So are his students, who greet the prospect of studying fascism

yet again with apathetic grumbling: The Nazis sucked. We get it. Struck by

the teenagers complacency and unwitting arrogance, Rainer devises an

unorthodox experiment. But his hastily conceived lesson in social orders and

the power of unity soon grows a life of its own.

In probing the underpinnings of fascism, The Wave is far from a

social-studies lesson. As with his previous film, Before the Fall, director

Dennis Gansel fashions an energetic, gripping drama that cuts through

superficial ideological interrogatives and goes straight for the veins--the

human psychologies and individual behaviors that contribute to collective

movements. In unpeeling the emotional layers and contradictions of his

characters (the need to belong, to be empowered, to escape social

distinctions), Gansel offers a humanistic perspective on the terrifying irony

that these students may welcome the very things they denounce.

And lest we too easily dismiss this cautionary tale, its noteworthy that the

true story that prompted Todd Strassers novel The Wave (from which the film

was adapted) did not take place in Germany, but at a high school in Palo

Alto.
