So getting bored last i night, i skimmed through the movies on netflix and, to my surprise, found the Wave.
To those of you who don't know:
The Wave is a german movie based on a german book. I had to read the book in school and we wend to see the movie with the whole class. The book was actually good, one of the few were i didn't mind having to read it.
But i never thought i would see it on netflix. It's a german movie. It's not even translated, just german with english subtitles.
And Netflix isn't even offered in germany!
So my question basically is: Is this film well known, or maybe even popular, internationally?
Have you heard of it? (If your not german that is)
If you want to know what it's about.

It's a movie about regimes, kindoff. Basically a teacher has to teach his students about the third reich and they all get bored instantly (The third reich comes up pretty often in german schools) and make the case that something like the third reich could never happen nowadays.
And he wants to prove them wrong and makes a little social experiment, by having his students form a group, called "The Wave". At first he just introduces some discipline. They have to call him by his last name and have to stand up when talking. Then he encourages them to always help each other. Then he introduces an "uniform". And so on.
At first everything wents well. The students come closer together and it even integrates the former outcasts into the class. Then it goes out of control. People get penalized for not belonging to The Wave. Everyone who isn't part of it gets met with hostility. And so on.
