Schule

To be honest, this movie just gets the vibe of Germany's upper schools around the millenium. I know, cause I was there.

The movie "Schule" (School) shows a part of the life of a small group of students, enjoying the last days before graduation.

It happens that I visited the movie with some friends of mine from school and we had to agree that the movie did in fact catch the feeling we had at the time of graduation. To every character in the movie, whether it be the A-student or the "loverboy", we could remember the exact counterpart in our own class.

But also the contrast between feeling free and the uncertainity what will happen after graduation and where all the friends will go was shown in the film.

I think the movie is a realistic portrait of this time, on the one hand making one laugh and on the other hand saddening us.

hi i saw the movie a few times and i m German in in some part is it in Germany like the movie has shown is very easy to get drugs and alcohol is no problem in Germany you are allowed to drink beer at the age of 16 and hard alcohol like ron oder vodka . . . at the age of 18 but its quiet easy to get hard stuff under 18 u go into a gas station give the guy 10 bugs he told s you ti hide the bottle and done in this movie are some cliché 's right and a love story is in it but its with one of Germany best comedy newcomer Axel Stein he plays Dirk (the fat guy ) and its not like there are no ugly girls there are and some of the guys in the movie are losers i gave the movie a 3 because its was just a little production and no great effects if u have nothing better to do watch the movie and build your own opinion

As I watched this film the first time, i never heard of it before. And I was quite surprised! It has the same boring and quiet surrounding like every other German film, but there isn't any other film reminding me on my youth like this one! Someone who has never been a young student nowadays would hardly understand the message of the film.

One of the first thing I noticed: The producers invented a completely new town witch doesn't exist in Germany! Kerkweiler! They made new license plates abbreviations (KER) witch doesn't exist, they made a new Kreiswehrersatzamt (Military Recruting Office) on a mail header, and all this details only for not finding out where this film acts! So EVERY German can identify with it!

It's a good film witch I can only recommend! The main actor Daniel Brühl isn't one of Germany's hope in film industries future because he is a bad actor!

This is really a good movie! I, myself passed Abitur just three years ago and saw it two or three months before the final exams took place - and well: It struck like lightning! The basic message of the movie, that there's just a small amount of time left for you to be with your friends and to live a life without the problems of the adult world, hit exactly the point. This movie helped me, to make the best out of these last days in school!

Some comments complain about the stereotyped characters, but hey! it's still comedy and stereotypes are part of it. (if you don't agree, read about it in Aristoteles'"Poetik".)

Also the characters are really nice and you can quite identify yourself (not with the stereotypes,but) with some behavior that is depicted.

After all I have to say that SCHULE is a really good movie with excellent actors, camera and soundtrack and an fantastic tension (the scene on the schools' roof at dawn!!!)

Watch and let it have a place in your heart! - It deserves it!!!
