“Die Welle” is written by Ron Jones,Dennis Gansel and Peter Thorwarth and directed by Dennis Gansel. The movie is about a high school teacher,Rainer (Jürgen Vogel), who is giving autocracy lectures instead of anarchy which he has assigned to give. The ordinary story turns out be a very deep critique of autocracy with his extraordinary teaching method, which I will explain when I go deep into it’s relation with elements of fascism. Students who are sure about Nazi regime could never happen again at first because they think people are more enlightened today, become part of autocracy even without noticing and the Mr. Wenger’s method that he applies in autocracy class , has common point with elements of fascism.

At first they were not quite synchronized and some of them was questioning why they are marching but after a while they become ‘one’. ‘Against the enemy’, anarchy class, they marched all together, in synchrony, with solidarity with one another. Distracting anarchy class’ lesson, motivates them to march louder. In addition, students find their own salute and emblem that shows they are members of “Die Welle”. They strengthen a solidarity. Sense of belonging a community, commitment to a group are the key subjects of creating solidarity among students. White uniform rule has a positive effect on creating solidarity. White uniform rule puts differences out of sight and creates equal and coherent
