Sorry if this subject is old hat from some long ago thread but I've just watched "The Wave" on iPlayer and it has blown me away. There was a simialr experiment in the early 70s in a US school and that went horribly wrong - we were shown some footage at a recent teaching training day. This was genuinely the most disturbing horror film I have seen for a long time. Okay, it was obvious and not that subtle but it had a truth at its heart that was truly chilling. Cheers Terry | ||

I have this recorded, Terry - looked most intriguing and now I'm looking forward to watching it even more. | ||

Yes, I've seen The Wave. Like Terry says, it's not a subtle film (and probably drives its message home a bit too melodramatically in the final scenes), but it does depict quite convincingly how easy a slide into facism can come about. Worth watching on a double bill with the recent Baader Meinhof Complex film to see how modern German film-makers are dealing with their country's past. Of course, these days in Germany, 'Mein Hof' is more likely to refer to the star of Baywatch and Knight Rider...  | ||

I thought The Baader Meinhof Complex was excellent. | ||

Make that another echo. The Baader Meinhof Complex was excellent. | ||

Weird, I posted 2 hrs afterwards, yet when I originally posted there was nothing there from Zed. |
