Crappy film
This is exactly what is happening in Parkland, Florida.
I am writing / directing & have just gotten the grant $$$ to produce a updated (though little has changed) version of this classic and dramatic story.....the same mindset of the nazi goons of the 1940's is a mirror image of todays discrimination and 'label makers' such as Greek frat groups that terrorize singular misfits who refuse to sell out like all Greek frats do , in order to belong to a twisted and perverted ''greater whole'', when a individuals own personality is melded and brainwashed into the mass mentality, obviously only mayhem and violence will ensue.my film will be shot on location in columbus ohio , metro pop. 1,000,000 with a completion date of November 15th 2006
This movie had a great impact on me. Having personally been a victim of peer abuse, it really opened up my eyes as to what kind of effect a 'cult' can play on an individual. This concept not only explains how Hitler managed to be so successful in manipulating the whole country, but also clarifies many other historical events. I would recommend this to anyone who has not seen the movie!
I just watched this in my Social Psychology class and I was impressed even though the film is a bit melo-dramatic. Great if you want to see how easy it is to influence young people, those without friends and to see how easy it was for German's to grow under the influence of Nazi Germany.This kind of thing can happen at any time, and the movie shows just how easy it is.Doing a study for psychology, then this is a good film to watch
