The Wave
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. From TMDB

57 of 57 · most liked firstI thought the movie THE WAVE was compelling when I first heard of it, because it was like, “hey, fascism can happen here”. But THE WAVE took the position that Nazism bribed people with things and got buy-in that way. Whereas it turns out it’s just that 40% of people are monsters animated by hate

unlabelledView post →oh so this is a fun artifact of digital video streaming: one of my fave movies is The Wave, a 2015 norwegian film about an earthquake in a fjord that causes a tsunami. It's very good and i watch it in norwegian with subtitles. Except the version available on Amazon now only has spanish audio?
unlabelledView post →did you ever see a TV movie/book called "the Wave" in the 80s? because wow.
unlabelledView post →I'm not sure how many people remember the made for TV movie The Wave. Anyway, this is the reveal at the end, when the high school kids learn who the until-then unnamed "great leader" they've fallen for really is. The lesson they learn is how easy it is to get seduced by hate. Only it scares them.

unlabelledView post →nothing could top "The Wave of Jennifers" that were born in the wake of Love Story (the book and the movie)
unlabelledView post →We are living out the movie The Wave. Our 2 party system has made people more concerned with their team and winning "the game" than actual human life. The fascists are winning because they are willing to cheat--and proud of it.
unlabelledView post →there's a 2015 Norwegian film called Bolgen (The Wave) about a tsunami in a fjord caused by an avalanche. decent film, and at first I thought the premise was absurd. but after watching it, I always wondered about a possibility that I'd never considered. wild that this really happened.

unlabelledView post →I recommend watching a 1981 movie called The Wave (it’s short and available on YouTube). I had to watch it in either high school or college and it explains a lot about how people were manipulated in Germany and it applies to the US today.

unlabelledView post →Yes, and ooh this reminds me that I recently watched a 1981 TV movie called The Wave about the 1967 experiment by a high school teacher, who created a little fascist-like cult in a week's time. I watched a documentary on it as well on youtube. It really happened. #hatm www.imdb.com/title/tt0083...

unlabelledView post →> The Wave 7/10 It fits really well with the state of the world right now. Throughout the whole movie you can see how easy it is to manipulate people into a hive mind.
unlabelledView post →If you watch and enjoy this, then also seek out The Wave (2008) 📽️, another German film about an idealistic teacher who's good intentions have extremely severe repurcussions inside & outside of the schoolgates. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FYD...
unlabelledView post →I just figured something out... If you play a smooth jazz station like 94.7 The Wave, and you squint your eyes just so, you can pretend you're in an '80s movie and the New York City streets are slick with rain and Melanie Griffith is your friend who just showed up in a suit with shoulder pads.

unlabelledView post →Pokemon Movie 8: Mew and the Wave Hero: Lucario (Rewatch) I now remember this movie was likely a factor in why I thought Lucario was super cool way back when. Another fun adventure, though there's not much else to say. However, the fuckass Regi noises were great to hear again after all this time.
unlabelledView post →Way back when, there was a cautionary movie for Americans called "the Wave". At the time I went to high school, it was part of the curriculum along with a discussion afterwards. Pretty sure a lot of my classmates failed to remember the message :( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wav...
unlabelledView post →There is already The Wave, a Norwegian film along a similar theme. But yes, would be fun if my book was optioned!
unlabelledView post →Did anyone else ever have to watch the TV movie The Wave in high school?
unlabelledView post →I’d probably give “The Wave” a flat-out 5/5 if the film hadn’t lost me in a couple of places. It really was just that fun and funny and such a wild ride. If you’re like me and somehow missed this one, I definitely recommend checking it out.
unlabelledView post →Oh ive seen this. It's the ending of the movie The Wave where the teacher calls off his fascist experiment.
