Pas mal, mais quelques incohérences, ça se voit que c’est inspiré d’un livre et qu’ils ont condensé car le film fait seulement 1h30.
Synopsis
A school teacher discusses types of government with his class. His students find it too boring to repeatedly go over national socialism and believe that dictatorship cannot be established in modern Germany. He starts an experiment to show how easily the masses can become manipulated.

Ce film qui semble léger au début fait VRAIMENT l’effet d’une vague jusqu’à nous emporter à la fin… Ce n’est pas le meilleur drame que j’ai vu de ma vie mais je l’ai vraiment apprécié. Voir la sensibilité et la réceptivité de chaque profil à l’exercice était très interessant !
