Klass

Almost every class in high school knows one: a lonely child that is being picked on by everyone. Unable to give proper resistance against the different kids in the class that one person becomes the victim of just about everything. Most of the time it ends up OK in the end, but sometimes it goes to a point of no return and then it ends in full flexed drama. This film is about such a drama.

Starting out at the point where a kid is picked out as being the one to pick on the events that happen happen in just the right pace. The film switches between fueling the fire and licking the wounds, and later between fueling the fire and planning the counter strike. It becomes impossible not to feel a certain level of sympathy for the guy, even though his actions are unforgivable. And that is why this film works well. Klass is a harsh message and I think it should be shown to all kids in high schools to show them the darkest sides of peer pressure and the effects of it on some people.

9 out of 10 difficult lessons

Wow.. I have to say I am still stunned after what I just saw, couldn't stop myself from writing a review instantaneously. Story is that a guy named Joosep is constantly bullied by the whole class, and when another boy, Kaspar, tries to stop other kids in the class from bullying Joosep, the other kids starts bullying both Joosep and Kaspar.

At one point of time, it becomes so much that both of them takes the most extreme step. We might just say that, Joosep could have done something different, but really he didn't have any option. When the entire world is against you, you can't do anything else. One astonishing thing that I saw was role of the teachers in this flick. I know that most of the teachers, elders are like that. They are so much into their own s#it, that they really don't care. Teachers have really good idea, but they don't do anything.

When you are actually watching movie, you actually waiting for Andres, Paul and other accomplices to be punished. This is indeed one of the most horrifying films I've ever seen, horror in the face of harsh reality.

And, as Kaspar said you have to stand up for yourself. As, IT IS ABOUT HONOUR.

Most of the spectators will look at the film and say something as: I've seen it before/I've guessed the ending/the work is imperfect!

But the main thing is the other. It is a real story about real people coming across real problems. The thrilling story about insatiable and cruel youth. The story that makes you tremble.

But it is not the story about teens' relation. The story tells about adults being deaf to the problems of youth. As the teacher made that saying "I have nothing else to tell you". The parents that can not believe or just understand the problems of their children and especially trust them. The movie is not just a cruel story. That is a warning to the adults: beware and make best to predict.

All of us will watch this, talk a bit and forget about the movie. I'd force all the adults to watch it. For them just to understand.

So, I watched this movie after hearing about it on many different occasions. I have always liked movies about teenage life, especially when they are cooked correctly. And this is such case. Movie perfectly shows the power struggles, that may occur in every class. And how cruel can teenagers be. I personally have been in a situation, where most of my class is against me. So I could easily associate my self with main character.

At some points of watching it, the movie really got to me, because my hands started shaking, and I got shivers on my back. Just because, I knew how painful such attitude can be.

I'd really like to give kudos to operator, and all the actors, that were working on this movie. Camera work always showed perfect angles, so people could easily follow the story. But all the new actors, that were working on this project, played really good, without hyping their performance, what usually happens for new actors.

This movie should be shown in every school around the world, because it shows where can cruelty lead.

First of all I didn't have any high expectations for this one. OK school violence - we all have seen that, right? But do we actually remember it? How there always has been black sheep in any class room? How mean can we all be? For me this movie was the awakening who am I also have been and how embarrassing it now seems. But how many of us were brave enough to differ and step-up against this kind of unfairness. And do we had a choice/ or knowledge that the choice exist? This movie is highly recommended because of its honesty, bluntness and most of all - just incredible storyline...
