Before the Fall
Plot
Berikut sinopsis filmnya: Before the Fall (2004) Pada tahun 1942, kemampuan tinju Friedrich Weimer yang luar biasa membawanya ke Akademi Politik Nasional (NaPolA) yang bergengsi, sebuah sekolah berasrama yang menghasilkan elit Nazi. Terlepas dari keberatan kuat ayahnya, Friedrich memutuskan untuk mendaftar ke program tersebut, berharap itu akan memberinya peluang dan rasa memiliki. Setibanya di NaPolA, Friedrich terpesona oleh disiplin dan ideologi ketat yang merasuki Lembaga tersebut. Para siswa dilatih secara ketat dalam kebugaran fisik, latihan militer, dan indoktrinasi ideologis, dengan tujuan akhir untuk menghasilkan tentara dan pemimpin Nazi yang setia. Saat Friedrich menavigasi lingkungan baru ini, ia menjalin ikatan erat dengan sesama siswa, termasuk pemimpin karismatik dan ambisius, Müller. Seiring kemajuan anak laki-laki melalui pelatihan mereka, mereka mulai menyadari bahwa NaPolA bukan hanya sekolah, tetapi tempat berkembang biaknya para pejabat Nazi di masa depan. Kurikulum berfokus pada propaganda, taktik militer, dan kesetiaan kepada partai, menyisakan sedikit ruang untuk individualitas atau perbedaan pendapat. Hubungan Friedrich dengan teman dan mentornya diuji saat ia berjuang untuk mendamaikan nilai-nilainya sendiri dengan ideologi yang dipaksakan kepadanya. Melalui pengalamannya di NaPolA, Friedrich dipaksa untuk menghadapi realitas pahit Nazi Jerman dan konsekuensi dahsyat dari kepatuhan buta. Saat perang berkecamuk, Friedrich harus membuat pilihan sulit yang akan menentukan masa depannya dan nasib orang-orang di sekitarnya. Before the Fall adalah drama pendewasaan yang menggugah pikiran yang mengeksplorasi kompleksitas masa remaja selama masa perang dan pergolakan politik. Dengan penggambaran yang menyentuh tentang hilangnya kepolosan masa muda dan pengaruh ideologi yang merusak, film ini berfungsi sebagai pengingat yang ampuh tentang pentingnya pemikiran kritis dan keberanian moral dalam menghadapi kesulitan.
Ulasan
Sawyer
The movie portrays a poignant youthful romance between a privileged son of high-ranking officials and a farm boy. Once again, we see a "foolish younger sibling" dynamic. Max Riemelt delivers another compassionate performance, portraying a boy with a humanitarian heart who escapes the constraints of war through suicide. Max Riemelt's beauty is at its peak, pure and flawless. Tom Schilling, with his sweet, tender, muscular physique, together they've cemented their status as a beloved national pairing in my mind. The scene of him sinking into the chilling lake is tragically beautiful and breathtaking, shattering my heart. People only care about victory; they are indifferent to everything else.

Brainwashing should start from childhood; awakening should begin in youth.
Ethan
A darker, more somber version of "The Chorus," a grim counterpart to "The Bottom of the Pond," and a gathering of fine-looking young men.

In the instant the boy released his grip in the icy river, I saw something in his eyes purer than the freezing water itself. And this purity, in turn, saved another boy.
