A creepy look at the Nazi machine through the eyes of the Hitler youth. A very interesting watch.
A great movie to show how the Nazis brainwashed their youth until they started to think for themselves...
J'ai regardé ce film dans mon cours d'allemand et il m'a beaucoup plu. L'histoire d'un jeune boxer allemand durant la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, qui est accepté dans une prestigieuse école de cadets nazis.Un film allemand intéressant, émouvant.
dennis gansel could've done better - not bad though. max riemelt makes everything look good, i guess. i'm still looking for the song the sing all together at the beginning *_* and oh, i should've downloaded it in german!
It just feels like I've seen this a thousand times. Only this time it's not as gripping.
A touching approach to young German boys in Nazism times. Napola does not hestitate to show how appealing Nazism could be to some boys as well as shows how cruelly Nazism takes an impact on them, espiaclly Friedrich and Albrecht, the two leading characters.
Very touching, intense and difficult movie. Interesting point of view (young Nazis in an elite school). http://www.flixster.com/static/images/done.gif

This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Before the Fall (Napola)" !
