Reviews:

An introspection and warning… for past and present!
Napola is a disturbingly intellectual movie. The more you think on the message; the more disturbing it becomes. It is actually very scary the normality of the ‘education’, and shows the ease to which the standard human being can be nurtured into whatever the government wishes to instill. Very poignant in todays current affairs!

The movie itself has a lot in common with ‘Dead Poet’s Society’, ergo the journey of self-discovery and one’s place amidst the strict paradigm of expectancy. Complete with tragedy and the strong hint of insidious cruelty, Napola is not a superficial standardised ‘Hollywood’ outing (thank goodness).

The facts at the end of the movie were amazing in their ability to encapsulate the futility and warn against brainwashing of a nation. May more people be aware of this practice so the ‘real’ terror be rightfully and publicly rebuked.

Haunting Portrait Of Education Under The Nazis
Apart form the films of Michael Haneke, this was one of the few German language films in recent years that left a lasting impression on me. It offers a realistic – and haunting – portrayal of what it must have been like for the youths during the dark years of the third reich to be ‘bred’ and drilled to meet the required Nazi standards for the “master-race”. Impressive, well acted cinema from Germany. 8 stars out of 10.
