A teacher begins a group on the concept of Autocracy and goes about (innocently) getting his students to conform.Things get out of hand, in a very predictable fashion.Essentially belonging to a group can be delightful, yet castigating and ignoring outsiders has it's drawbacks. Well done indeed.The fact that this is German lends some credence but this feels like it relies far too much on the subjects (and possibly the audience too) being teenagers, as it really feels like a lot of teenagers acting like teenagers -- one of the initial group drops out simply because the 'uniform' doesn't suit her -- and the many expected graffiti and partying scenes get annoying very quickly.The concept is still largely unbelievable in a modern world, and the script does little to convince otherwise.

This movie is so pathetic. There are so many gaps and non sense actions. I'm so disappointed with it, since I've consulted IMDb before watching. What was the point to create rage in a common sense that could make all the classmates united to fight for the same reason? There is no rage, there is no sadness, nothing! There is a moment where it just looks like a teenager TV program, when classmates go out spreading their mark around the city, and there is no fear of consequences, the old fashioned and cool goofy guard who runs near but can't catch anybody and all the Hi five. Well, I have no balls for such a kind of movie. Don't waste your time here, look for another title.

In this film a high school teacher has to teach autocracy in the schools project week. The teacher, Rainer Wenger (Jürgen Vogel), isn't too thrilled with teaching autocracy but later begins to warm up to the idea. Then he decides on an unusual experiment during class. When others are against the group it ends up in devastating consequence for everyone. When Rainer Wenger realises what has happened he tries to stop everything, but is it too late? I thought that the film was really good. The ending was quite unexpected and a devastating action ended the film with everyone shocked. When it all starts as a fun experiment you knew something would happen and, gradually throughout the film you seen everyone change, and not for the good. The first thought was that everyone took it too seriously and everyone changed so much in just seven days.It had a good plot and was based on a true story. All scenes were performed brilliantly by the actors. I think the actors were the right choice for the characters. The camera angles weren't the best but it was still phenomenal.

Politics happens at society, not at a person's brain. All forms of political regimes serve a purpose, and those ruling a given society are the ones who say what purpose is that. Nazism was an autocracy, but its essence was and still is to fight socialism, because the ruling classes of Germany (though it was born in Sweden, Nazism reached its peak in Germany) were and still are the capitalists. Today, Germany fancies it got totally rid of Nazism, but the truth is that only the forms are different, the essence is the same. Just look at what German capital is doing to Greece, Spain and other weak economies - and how Germans explain the economic troubles of these countries: they are "lazy", undisciplined peoples. Gansel plays on us the same trick Hitler played on Germans: it doesn't matter what class you belong to, you can reunite with all the other persons that have the same "blood" as you, even if this "blood" is an "ersatz" one. You only need to be careful with your personal idiosyncrasies... The film only proves that anarchism and fascism are birds of the same feather.
