“Before the Fall” (NaPolA) (IMDb) is a 2004 German drama film written and directed by Dennis Gansel (Which also Directed: The Wave (Die Welle), Another great movie).

This Movie I saw it some days ago, and when I finished watching it, I was speechless; it’s a great film, with a great story, script, actors and very historical accurate; If you like Thrillers, Dramas, and a bit of history (Or just interested in Nazi stuff) then you must watch this movie, but I really recommend it to everyone, is one of the best movies I had ever seen, it was so great that I bought it on eBay (Link).

Here is a small plot (from Wikipedia):

“In 1942, Friedrich Weimer’s (Max Riemelt) boxing skills get him an appointment to a National Political Academy (NaPolA) – high schools that produce Nazi elite. Against his father’s will, he enrolls, seeing this as his ticket out of his factory life to the university. During his year in seventh column (fifth form), this innocence is altered as Friedrich encounters hazing, cruelty, death, and the Nazi code.”

 

And the Trailer:

The Trailer doesn’t look so great, but it is, is a great film; this films has “7 wins & 3 nominations See more awards” (IMDb)
