黑人乔治·弗洛伊德之死掀起了愤怒发泄的浪潮，以BLM运动的名义游行，抗议，骚乱，烧毁，抢劫，警察被杀，继而refund
police, 西雅图占领没有警察的“自治区”，历史的雕塑人物被砍头推倒，焚烧国旗，下跪，喊出不要警察，摧毁法制，摧毁政府系统，毫无顾忌瘟疫流感还在，这股愤怒的浪潮是来自于几个月疫情恐惧下的爆发，还是美国的种族歧视黑人和警察冲突真的需要一场革命。其实许多人很明白，黑人难道忘了一次次抗议暴动的历史。民意一旦如果被政客利用，真理的善良将被亵渎，年轻人就是殉葬品了。这让我想起一部电影《The
wave》。一堂大学里的实验课即可煽起年轻人的冲动，激情振奋，聚集力量......
The Wave is a subversive made-for-TV movie directed by Alex
Grasshoff, based on The Third Wave experiment put on by teacher Ron Jones in
order to explain to his students how the German populace could accept the
actions of the Nazi regime during the Second World War.Though later
featured as an episode of the ABC Afterschool Special series, this show debuted
October 4, 1981, almost two years before being featured in the series.
It starred Bruce Davison as the teacher Ben Ross, a
character based on Jones.
A novelization of the film The Wave, was released in the
same year. Ron Jones' writings and Johnny Dawkins' screenplay were also basis
of the 2008 German film Die Welle.
Summary
High school social studies teacher Ben Ross shows his class
a film about the Holocaust. When the students question how the German people
could have allowed such a thing to occur, Ross finds himself unable to answer
their questions. Instead he begins a classroom experiment to demonstrate the
dangers of discipline, community, and fascism. The experiment begins simply,
with Ross demonstrating how proper posture and simple rules create greater
classroom efficiency. The students follow the new rules so enthusiastically
that Ross carries on the experiment the following day by introducing "the
Wave," which he claims is a youth movement. Students are issued membership
cards, taught a secret Wave salute, and are given special duties. Robert, an
unpopular student, is assigned the role of a monitor over the other students,
which fills him with pride.
David, a student in the class, believes that the in-class
rules will help the school's football team and begins to teach the Wave tenets
to his fellow football players. With the popular football players involved, the
rest of the school becomes intrigued. By the end of the week, the Wave has
spread beyond the classroom. Robert, who has developed new confidence and
authority due to the movement, becomes one of its more zealous enforcers and
reports unorthodox behavior to Ross and the other members. David's girlfriend
Laurie is unnerved by the Wave, while Ross's wife worries that Ross has
introduced a concept he cannot control.
The following day, a school pep rally turns into a rally for
the Wave, causing some 200 more students to join. Laurie decides to write an
exposé about the Wave for the school paper, causing David to break up with her
and her friends to reject her. Other students outside the movement are bullied
by the Third Wave and begin voicing their concerns to parents and
administrators, who in turn complain to Ross. Ross begs for enough time to
complete the experiment.
When the exposé is published, the Wave denounces the school
paper and singles out Laurie for hostility. Fearing for her safety, David warns
her to stop speaking out, eventually growing violent enough to push her to the
ground. This causes David to realize how far things have gone. David and Laurie
visit Ross and beg him to speak out against the movement. Ross, realizing the
experiment is out of control, promises them that he will put an end to it.
The following day in class, Ross tells students that the
Wave is a real youth movement taking place in schools all over the country and
that the movement's leader will give a televised speech at a rally the
following day. The Wave students eagerly gather to watch the speech, only to be
shown a film of Adolf Hitler leading a Nazi rally. Ross announces that this is
their leader and that the experiment proves how quickly a group can give up
their individual beliefs. The stunned students throw away their armbands and
leave the rally, but Robert, who has been given his first sense of belonging by
the movement, is left in tears. Ross takes Robert away to console him.
