To give his students a real-world example of how dictatorships can grow powerful, a high school teacher starts a social experiment that gives some of his students a strong advantage while leaving others subservient and powerless.
After a discussion in which his students reveal that they believe another dictatorship could not rise in modern day Germany, a teacher creates an experiment to show just how such an event can occur.
They discuss what is needed to create such a thing:
- A leader
- A respect of authority
- Discipline
- Social conditions ( high unemployment/ inflation/ depression) must be met.
- Extreme nationalism.
- A uniform
- A salute
- A logo
As the week progresses and the experiment continues, more students are buying into it and have even taken to recruiting others. After a wild night in which the kids paint the town with their logo, it becomes apparent to a lot more people that things are getting out of control. When the teacher tries to shut it down however, they all receive a crushing blow that will change their lives forever.
The wave is actually a pretty good film. Somewhat Based on a true story, this German version it holds more weight given their history.
Out of Ten? 7
Violence? Mild
Explosions? No
Nudity? No
