Teen Suicide in Film History, Part 8: "Albrecht"

In his movie "NaPolA" (or "Before the Fall", Germany 2004) Dennis Gansel describes life in a Nazi elite school (National Political Academy or NaPolA) at the times of World War II. Albrecht (Tom Schilling), the son of a high-ranked Nazi official (Justus von Dohnanyi) is one of the young students. But unlike his father Albrecht is sensitive and loves poetry. He will never be able to adapt to Nazi ideology...

El hijo del ministro de relaciones exteriores de Hitler ,Hans Joachim Von Ribbentrop fue condecorado con la cruz de caballero por acciones heroicas en el frente ruso y el hijo del escritor Ernst Jungers un conspirador del 20 de julio,fue enviado a un batallón de castigo por hablar mal del fuhrer y murió sin disparar un tiro en el norte de Italia en combate con los americanos,asi que el argumento de esta película es muy ridícula y no creible.

@artaxelmistico Claro que esto no es un caso verídico, pero sin embargo es creible y de ningun modo ridículo, ya que los hijos no siempre corresponden en su caracter y su mentalidad al padre. Ni deben hacerlo.

Looks like a powerful film.

@ViaxNesquik awesome... so apparently someone in your family is of German descent. Albrecht is a fairly common name in Germany. As a matter of fact we share our last name with the 2 richest men in Germany... The Albrecht brothers, Karl & Theo. They are multi billionaires.

we saw this movie in my German lecture at school last year.

My last name is Albrecht. I love researching into what could possibly be part of my family history. Was one of my distant cousins apart of the Nazi rajeem? I sure would be thrilled to know more about the sequence of events that led up to my existence.

saw this movie last wekk in german TV... so sad! :(

[haylesblondie351]

not to diminish the incredible power that this movie posseses, but Albrecht definitely had a Leonardo DiCaprio-Titanic moment there.

It is a very good movie. We watched it during the German lesson.

Of course. The movie was portraying what it was like for boys in the Napola. It's not telling the story like a biography. It's not supposed to.
