An intense critique of where can intrasocietal tension take us

Rating: 8/10 (20 October 2014)

This is a very shocking movie. The story is very good and the actors perform it greatly. But what really shocks you is the idea that it is an entirely feasible situation; that the ideas the characters express in the movies is also expressed by real people in real life situations. Although this movie revolves around Neo-Nazis, it does reflect upon tensions within society as a whole. It's not only about skinheads and their crazy WW2 ideologies, it's in general about the misconception of delimiting "us" and "them", about failing to see how human all of us are, and instead turning to the humanness of "my" group, and the lack of humanity of everyone else. It is about the very human attitude of putting the blame into other people, and it is also about that other very human attitude of guiding our behaviors according to our feelings as opposed to common sense. It is about the importance of the teenage years for the future adult, and it is about how traumatic can it be to realize one was wrong. It is a movie that definitely makes you think.
