The wave

The writer's novel, the movie has originated from is Morton Rhue



The film, whose title in German is Die Welle, is about a teacher who wants to show how it is possible to create a dictatorship although it could seem to be impossible to repeat the same error in history. Pr.Wenger tries to perform the example without considering he has to do with human teenagers. So the teacher's experiment fails because the story has a tragic end. In fact the teacher's idea could be good but the way how it is realized does not convince his wife and the negative effects on some students is lethal. The reason why the teacher fails is, in my opinion, the loss of a pedadogical foundation in his attempt.
