Before the Fall (napola)

i watched it last night when i flicked over to sbs.

it was really really really good. subtitles and all.

there was one scene that made me just freeze.

a vague explanation, theres a class of boys who are in a military school, trained up to be nazi soldiers basically.

so this class is outside, and they're being taught to throw these stick grenade things, after a few boys had had a turn, one boy went and he was in a nervous sweat. he pulled the key off the grenade but froze and dropped it. so it was about to explode on the whole class, the teacher bailed but all the boys were left there freaked out. then a boy runs threw the boys and jumps on the grenade, covering it with his body, and it went off on him, saving the whole class. the boys were left standing there, still in shock with blood on their face... i guess something about it hit me. what it would be like to take a bullet for others like that? if someones already done that for us.. how could we turn our heads from that.
