Life (2017)
Looks great, disappointing story
This is a great looking film, with a cast that was really wasted on this project.
It's a shame that nobody involved in the production had any common sense about continuity, common sense science, or seeing the many huge plot holes and inconsistencies.
The characters were so poorly written that (spoilers ahead) you don't even care about risks to, or even deaths of, any of the characters -
even those played by such well known and likable actors as Jake Gyllenhall and Ryan Reynolds.
But the film does look really good while it is being terrible.
Blut und Ehre: Jugend unter Hitler (1982)
Any way to get this?
I remember seeing this mini-series on TV in my freshman year of high school.
I remember it as a gripping story about a young man being seduced into the Hitler Youth, and the manipulation of the boys and girls destroying friendships and families, while at the same time convincing them that only Hitler and the Nazi party truly cared about them. It really made me understand how someone like Hitler could recruit young followers to his cause.
I'd like to see it again, partly to see if it is as well made as I remember, and partly to include it in a series for students about propaganda and indoctrination.
Other titles that would fit include: Europa Europa Swing Kids and Taps
