    just another nazi movie

    In fact, Germany and other European countries have made a lot of Nazi films, many of which are classics, but the Nazi films made by the Germans themselves are lackluster. Nazism is the main tone, but many plots are too dramatic and lack realism, and the plots cannot stand scrutiny. The acting...

    human evil

    Albrecht is an aspiring young man, but he had to go to Napola to study the military because of his father's special identity and family education. After his death, Albrecht became a "coward" in the words of the Nazis; Friedrich came from a poor family and thought that he would finally be able to...

    The entry point is very good, but the plot is old-fashioned, the characters are face-to-face, not particularly youthful, no different kind of blood, and unconvincing, which is very disappointing. In addition, NAPola is such a cowardly school? Indeed, history is written by victors and their lackeys.

    I understand the film review that justified Napola's name. But even Chinese scar literature also has the one-sidedness of distorting historical facts, emphasizing violence, and magnifying contradictions, but this has not weakened the literary value of the text. On the other hand, any regime-led institution serves the incumbents. No matter how good the attribution is, the subject is still Nazi. However, the attributes of elites and pure-bred Aryans are all reflected by their appearance. Director, which side do you want people to stand on?

Before the Fall quotes

  • Christoph Schneider: Pull yourself together!

    Albrecht Stein: Pull myself together? Do you know what we just did? You shouldn't have shot! You shouldn't have shot!

    Tjaden: I didn't give the order. Your father said they had guns!

    Albrecht Stein: Why are you looking at me like that?

    Friedrich Weimer: I'm not looking at you.

    Albrecht Stein: I know what you're thinking. Don't look at me like that!

  • Albrecht Stein: [reading from his essay] "As childish as it sounds, the winter time and the sight of freshly fallen snow always fill us with inexplicable joy. Perhaps because as children, we associated it with Christmas. I always imagine myself the hero who killed dragons, rescued virgins, and freed the world from evil. As we went out yesterday to find the prisoners, I felt like that little boy who wanted to save the world."

    Vogler: Albrecht, stop.

    Albrecht Stein: But as we returned, I understood that I am part of the evil that I wanted to save us from.

    Vogler: Albrecht, stop.

    Albrecht Stein: Shooting prisoners is wrong. They were not armed, as Governor Stein told us, to incite us. We didn't shoot men, only children.

    Vogler: Out!
