The Wave

Looks like Germany is producing another quasi-Nazi film based on American postwar experiments. Yahoo article annoys me to no end.

1. "Film shows Germans not immune to return of Nazis" -- as if it's a documentary.
2. Nobody has ever argued that Germans are immune to the return of Nazis.
3. Once again, American media displaces Nazism as an exclusively German problem. IT'S BASED ON AN AMERICAN INCIDENT!!!!! So the filmmakers have taken an episode the Americans have largely forgotten, re-set it in Germany -- and somehow the article paints this as evidence that the Germans are about to slip back into Nazism. The whole point of The Wave, and the Stanford Prison experiment, and the many others done in America in the 50s and 60s is to show how authority and conformity produce Nazi-like behavior - even in the supposedly liberal and responsible US.
