How sad is this?

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Terrific TV series, and a distinguished part of the canon of film about European youth during the War. Attend to the numerous views of 'youth being young', whether scoring love or approval--even in '30s Germany. The scene of 'high-school graduation' couples jumping hand-in-hand through a bonfire is a heart stopper,..as though it had happened 10,000 years ago.

I remember seeing this mini-series on TV in my freshman year of high school.I remember it as a gripping story about a young man being seduced into the Hitler Youth, and the manipulation of the boys and girls destroying friendships and families, while at the same time convincing them that only Hitler and the Nazi party truly cared about them. It really made me understand how someone like Hitler could recruit young followers to his cause.I'd like to see it again, partly to see if it is as well made as I remember, and partly to include it in a series for students about propaganda and indoctrination.Other titles that would fit include: Europa Europa Swing Kids and Taps

I saw this when it first aired (English version) and was mesmerized by its portrayal of the rise of the Nazi party. Party propaganda reached all phases of family life. It was persistent, methodical, and effective. Wonderfully directed and acted. I think it is a classic in its portrayal of family life and the slow corrosive effect of propaganda. After watching it, I had a better understanding of how a targeted society can be perverted . one by one, family by family.I believe I have a copy of it on tape . have to visit the basement, find it, and replay it.
