Good topic

The topic of this movie is so good that I can’t wait to borrow it after reading the introduction. After seeing it, there was a slight disappointment. I have read books about Nazi education and think that the performance in the movie is still too shallow.
At least in true Nazi education, there will be no instructor who flees. The instructor still continues to teach, almost treating the harsh Nazi spirit as nothing.
Also, children in true Nazi education seldom grieve for the death of their relatives in war. They realized that death was not as beautiful and majestic as imagined after they had experienced the war.
So, this film wanted to show the friendship between boys and it was very successful. But to show Nazi education, I still take it for granted. If Nazi education were so easy to see through, it would be too much of a name.

    Anticlimactic, and values ​​that I can't agree with, but the first 20 minutes really made my blood boil

    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.

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!
