Napola's purpose was to produce elite Nazi officers with a will and body of steel. The humiliation and bullying of the weak, the slaughter of children and innocents, and the aggression of other nations are not mentioned in textbooks here. In order to achieve the purpose of cultivating "elites", it is carried out in the following ways:
1. Induction:
the words of the principal at the beginning of the school year can really be brainwashed, and I see it with enthusiasm. It can be seen that the appropriate education method for minors is How important, early education can really make most people what they want to be.
Principal Napolla's line: " My most heartfelt welcome to you ,
students,
at the beginning of the new term in 1942. I have repeatedly emphasized to all our new students that there is an equal education for all, regardless of origin , no matter what you are . Descendants of peasants or workers In this school everyone is equal For our empire that will be thousands of years old, each of you is a future elite. The greats make history and we train the greats . Shiny unpolished rough and will eventually become radiant gems When the final victory comes we need a large number of regional leaders I am not talking about Carinthia [Austria] or Meck Lomberg [Germany] I mean Washington, Moscow , London or Cape Town , so please make good use of your time to train your body and mind to become a loyal and reliable student
Long live victory for the brave soldiers on the front lines of the Reich
and our beloved Führer Adolf Hitler ! 2. Practice and close contact with death Napola's training is real guns and ruthless, and the class time is also a real battlefield. Not only does he have strict ideological and knowledge education and strict physical training, but he also welcomes death at any time
. The godfather in the canteen of the first death brought news to two young children that their father was killed on the front line. The death was not far away, it seemed to be far away, but it actually happened to the people around him and even himself. The cadets are trained to be cold-blooded killing machines despite knowing their fate is mixed. The second death (known to be unconscious but not to be awake) in a boxing match between cadets, classmate who was defeated by Frederick He didn't regain consciousness until the evening. We don't know if he will wake up. If he can't wake up, he will die. Originally, Frederick had the opportunity to stop during the game. He was also carried away by the joy of victory. Until his good friend Albrecht came to blame him, he did not fully wake up to his cruelty. The third death , Siegfried, who often wet the bed, could not bear the humiliation and humiliation of Jach and the instructor. Bullying, when there was an accident in a grenade throwing class, he absolutely threw himself on the grenade to protect the classmates and the instructor. I don't want to see this behavior simply as Siegfried's suicide, which shows that the seemingly courageous Even the bed-wetting person can show great sacrifice at the critical moment, but the instructor who often reprimands the students is eager to escape. The fourth death of the eighth-grade students was drafted into the army and put into the battle with real guns and ammunition. Although we We only see their distant backs, but we know in our hearts what the fate of many of them will be. The fifth death
The massacre of underage prisoners of war. Albrecht's father communicated false POW situations, saying that they subdued two guards and took their weapons, giving the trainees the image of prisoners as sturdy and ferocious adults. When the practitioners saw the prisoners of war, they shot and killed them without hesitation, until it became clear that some of them were just unarmed children. One of them was hit by Frederick but was still dying, but Albrecht's father gave them another bloody and cruel lesson, and one shot ended the child's life.
The sixth death
Albrecht gave up his life in the ice lake swimming training. In reality, there is no beauty and happiness he wants, only cruel war and icy killing.
These children grew up in such death again and again, and turned into cold-blooded and cruel murderous demons, who had no sympathy for the weak, and even more ruthless and ruthless towards the enemy.
3. The elimination
of Napola is the epitome of Nazi militarism, which eliminated the weak in mind and body in an almost brutal way. It eliminated the bed-wetting Siegfried, the grenade-can't-lose Martin, the weak-willed Albrecht, and the shaken Frederick.
Through these dehumanizing methods of education, Napola cultivated what the Nazis called elites, who were Hitler's loyal admirers and war zealots. They exterminate humanity, poison living beings, and even sacrifice themselves.
[Friendship]
Frederick and Albrecht should have experienced the ignorance of the opposite sex in youth and the beauty of friendship together like normal good friends, but war and militarism cannot tolerate this ordinary and simple happiness. Albrecht was stripped of his life, and Frederick was stripped of his friends and his once illusory dreams. Of course, Frederick's expulsion from Napola is a good thing, at least he doesn't have to be a murderer whose hands are stained with the blood of innocents.
The picture and soundtrack are also impeccable. The Tide and Hitler's Boys made me fall in love with director Dennis Gansel and hope to make another great film.
