The Edukators
"The golden days are over." Phrases like this are the calling card of Jan, Jule and Peter, three young Berliners in the era of social liabilities have chosen to go against the tide, inventing a particular form of rebellion. Enter in the luxury homes of those bourgeois who, taking advantage of the contradictions and imbalances of the capitalist system, have accumulated enormous wealth. In principle, do not steal anything, but to mess the house of their class enemies, leaving around flyers through which they wish to see reflect on the uselessness of all that luxury, in addition to spreading insecurity in the upper middle class. Not surprisingly, the three young activists describe themselves as "educators." Their firms are starting to make headlines. But one night something goes wrong ...
hit one to educate oneself
bourgeoisie against the proletariat. Fortunately, in view of increasingly daring in contemporary cinema, there is still someone who has the guts to stand up. The young Austrian director Hans Weingartner lived experiences of political activist, frequent movements of the extreme left. Has the anger in the body and it shows. In this feature, not free from limitations of writing and filmic moments too, "shouted," Weingartner has been able to make a tasty and brilliant essay on how the fiction film can and should give voice to the underlying tension, the deep dissatisfaction of a youthful less compact than the media would have us believe . That is, a youthful sciocchezzaio not fully anesthetized by television and the murderous machinery of capitalist society, before which there are still individuals animated by the desire to rebel, to raise their voices to just say no! In The Edukators does something the ruthlessness with which they cite battle cries from other seasons of struggle, which "Strike one to educate one hundred", but ultimately is not much affected by the damage (at least) that the three main characters come to those who hold power, but rather by the solidarity that exists between them, and that also pushes them into rebellion when the disparity between the intentions and the means is evident. As if to say that it is not easy, especially these days, deal a decisive blow to the system, but meanwhile people are educated as aspiring revolutionaries, at least. The subversive charge that Weingartner was able to infuse the film so you appreciate, though at times you feel overly didactic tone in the dialogues, while another point in favor of The Edukators is the freshness the language of cinema, with a shaky camera moves nervously around the characters and a very free and easy assembly.
