3. Why "The Edukators" is a film career? Notes for the entertainer.
This film is truly amazing for its theme and deep dialogue. Posed on the whole issue of the struggle for a new and better world through the lens of the new alternative social movements called "anti-globalization." While this is a concept that has many questions for some and as many suspicions to others, mainly due to small groups of violent, is no less true that the motto "another world is possible" leaves no one indifferent.
And this is The Edukators, how to build this new world. Is it a revolution? Should we kill the rich? How far do you have to be violent? What is the relationship between social and personal revolution? What are the passing years our ideals and dreams? These issues can lead to an ideological debate between one way or another to understand the world, its operation, especially economic liberalism and unbridled capitalism. A debate that could easily be talking about good and evil, seeing some as the solution to the problem they have caused others (simplicity where you can drop the film.) But it is a logical and necessary debate to address these issues of great interest to young people by idealism and his opposition to the adult world. But this kind of debate is the goal of our proposal. As is well known, we will focus on "vocational aspects" that can be traced in this film.
First we set the idealism of these two friends (Jan and Peter). What moves them is a desire of wanting to change the world. Are clearly not criminals or thieves. They have "principles." Not indifferent to the global injustice (against abuse are involved in the manufacture of branded shoes) or the injustice daily and close (the first scene on the bus). They have a dream (an ideology, if you will) and in a consistent way to act accordingly. Wanting to "educate" others merely reflects a desire to change others according to their way of seeing the world (here it is the argument). Despite the debate on means to reach this end is shown on the discrepancies that have the two friends.
Jule, meanwhile, also shares the ideals of his friends but at another level. Perhaps it is she who most directly suffer the injustice of the system. Work in a fancy restaurant where the customers are a ruthless snobbery (maybe a little exaggerated). He must also pay compensation of 94,000 € for a rich and wrecking the car in an accident involuntary. Lives locked up and enslaved in the system to "pay lifestyle a rich man." She only gets to express his rage and discontent verging cars from the clients (or boss).
After losing his job for "not having closed peak" and defend a friend, Jule ends up confessing: " not find anything you might think." To get there, Jule and Jen gave us a couple of interesting talks that begin with the testimony of Jule: " before wanted to have fun and be free. Then come the commitments. " From this conversation am extremely attention to the seduction of Jen capacity. Narrating what he does and why it does, does revive and awaken the spirit Jule defeated. A "come with me " Jen ends with a " It was amazing!" Jule . There is a spread of values \u200b\u200bof the revolution, so that it goes even further trying to break the rules of good organization and planning. Despite the feelings that end up in infatuation also play a role in this identification process.
The film then gives a twist that leads to the kidnapping of Hardenberg by three friends, the subsequent escape and refuge in a lonely place that enables dialogues without waste. There, the director offers us the opportunity to see another point of view. Hardenberg ago to talk about your history and your personal evolution. In a way, it is reflected in the idealism of these young people. In 68 he was like them and now look at yourself first to be justified and then to be ashamed. On the other hand, Peter, Jean and Jule Harenberg see what ever they would like to become over time, the obligations of adult life or the weight of decisions. The phrase " be left after 30 is not having brains and not be before 30 is not having a heart " given for many interpretations and discussions. But ultimately all seek to be justified from the situation at present, and the other is not for them but their own fear, threat or the other side of his life.
At this point the vocational aspect that is reflected is the "first love" which over time will domesticating and cooling. The momentum and the first vocational dreams will leave to one side as a "mature." Put another way, you can also see the tense relationship that we all live from our ego ideal "(which sucks) and the" real me "(which really do). It is our mediocrity and contradiction, with which one has to reconcile and find a balance that makes you grow. A contradiction that our heroes find the end to the kidnapping of Mr. Harenberg did " to save his skin, not to save the world ."
I can not resist mentioning another perspective for reflection, even knowing that is very particular. In dialogues between young people and their dreams and pragmatism Harenberg discover an almost perfect parallel to what happens in our religious communities where the greatest forgot they were young, and young people only value what is new apart from the traditional. A reading of the film in this sense can be equally interesting.
The Edukators still offers many possibilities and touches many other topics: social and personal revolution, the struggle for justice, being and having regard to happiness, lifestyle, use of money, consumerism ... even friendliness which code is broken when one falls for the girlfriend of a friend (an issue I have not touched). If the moderator has time, you can watch the movie whenever you want to delve into these issues here there are only implied.
a paragraph of JJM out of http://www.bloggermania.com/content/view/4308/2/
"It certainly has interesting things this second film by Austrian Hans Weingartner (Das Weisse Rauschen). For example, his critical eye to the generation of May '68, now fully gentrified and sedentary, and his idealistic exaltation of peaceful actions to improve society. "I think we live in a time when young people yearn for political change but do not know where to start," noted Hans Weingartner. It is possible that the company has reached a point of individualism that leaves no room for collective dynamism. " This is solved either minimally Hans Weingartner, with a hyper efficient staging, sound and stage director a clever humorous counterpoints resources. However, too often strains the demagogic verbiage some of the dialogues, as well as superficial moral permissiveness respect to sex and drugs. At this point we note that the film has feet of clay, as his social and anthropological-counter compared to the allegedly spoiled and unsupportive society, "is too ethereal, anarchist and ultimately superficial"

4.3. pray
* Canto appropriate and known by the group
* Prayer: Lord ...
Lord, I want to be the wind that sweeps the streets.
storm I want to be dragging the man along. I wish I
fire burning, burning and shining. Call
that tears the night and fog.
I would be the same as the waters murmuring,
like the Great River, free of ties ...
Lord I wanted to be a source that does not stop flowing,
a creek that runs beside the road, eco
crying in the forest.
I want to be forest in which men are lost,
and they rest on the lawn,
cool shade,
and ripe fruit that falls from the tree at the foot of the hungry.
Lord, I want to be dark storm in the sky,
black cloud creeps over the city.
Ray wanted to be, that falls from the sky,
and like rolling thunder in the deep valleys
and mighty mountains.
As night would be me
which arouses nostalgia strange men,
as wind blowing through the trees of autumn.
Lord, You know the storm and night and night and day, and noon
burning.
(C. Bliekast)
* Word of God: Rom 7, 15-25
* Personal reflection. Also time to share what we have thought about the film in light of the Word of God. Spontaneous prayer.
* scream If
find joy,
seek, seek.
If a friend moves away,
cry, cry.
If a home does not want me,
will leave, leave.
I can not find joy,
seek, seek
But if my people cry,
freedom if they take my brothers,
scream.
On the roads,
fight with my people.
scream on the road.
scream on the road,
my people die.
When you have no hope
pray, pray.
When I feel defeated,
follow, follow.
When fail in life,
silent, quiet.
When you have no hope,
pray, pray.
But if my people crying ...
( R. Cantalapiedra )
