死亡课程 (1977)

[ IMDB评论 ]
I enjoyed Dead class very much, They told me Wajda was disappointed by his own work but I don't know why. Maybe is acting too loud? Maybe acting was supposed to be more mechanical, actors more unrelated between them, but I think that's an impressive performance all the same. Culture is useless, children are dead, they are already lonely adults, adults are ex- children who can't remember their childhood. They behave like obsessed robots. Obsessed by memories of questions with automatic replies, that is by questions with no replies, everyone submitted to a questioning authority, everyone pursuing one's own impulses. Tyranny and nihilism. They can't see any world beyond their impulses and authority rules over them totally unseen. Autorithy is Kantor himself: actors think they are free, they are just destructive. Dead class reminds me of Fight club but I think Dead class is far better. Fight club says destructive impulses are a way to freedom, Dead class says they help authority to rule. And I think Kantor is right.
