The speeches are pathetic drivel that no one with half a brain would waste time listening to, yet the film is trying to sell them as some dangerous and more importantly very effective propaganda that is helping a neo-Nazi movement spread like a cancer.Perhaps Vogel deserves some credit for bringing out bits of the cold anger that his character is obviously struggling with, but it isn't enough to take this film seriously. Everything looks arranged in that very awkward way that immediately makes it impossible to even entertain the idea that the people in charge are actually on the same page and working toward some common goal. At school he is also branded a total loser and eventually forced to drop out.Įven if the boy is so alienated and desperately looking for someone, or something, to bring some sense into his life, it is hard to imagine that, as shown in the film, these rambling idiots can even begin connecting with him.The weakest material is the one where Bannert desperately tries to add some sort of a documentary authenticity to the official campaign rallies. But the more engaged Thomas becomes with his comrades, the more his relationship with his parents deteriorates. Naturally, after Thomas begins to feel comfortable with his new comrades, he, Charly, and a few other boys are frequently dispatched to do campaign work on the streets. The leaders of the group are then seen working closely with some psychopath that openly dreams of relaunching Adolf Hitler's national socialist agenda and passionately 'educating' new recruits like Thomas that can help them promote their message.

Shortly after, the boys meet again and Charly introduces Thomas to a small group of brainwashed radicals.

While heading home, teenager Thomas (Nikolas Vogel) sees popular troublemaker Charly (Roger Schauer) being questioned by two policemen and helps him get away. By the way, did you know that in the early 1990s Hill was invited to introduce a screening of Switchblade Sisters at a small festival in Sweden and much to everyone's surprise he confessed that it was made from a script based on William Shakespeare's Othello?The film opens up with a seemingly ordinary event that becomes the catalyst for the radical transformation of its main protagonist.
