Review of Swing Kids (1993) by Feddex19 — 25 Mar 2016

I really enjoyed Swing Kids, I believe it did a great job at portraying how the Hitler youth felt during the holocaust and it creates a great story were the characters seem to constantly change their role in the story.

the beginning of the movie showed the three main characters (Peter,Thomas, and Arvid) started as just innocent bystanders and though they did not like the H.J, they would mostly just focus on swing dancing and just mess around but the movie builds up where the characters begin to change and by the middle, Thomas becomes the perpetrator as he is almost fully brainwashed by the H.

J while Arvid speaks against the Nazi party and becomes an up stander but hes stuck alone as Peter is still a bystander as he is part of the H.J but he does not know what side to chose and finally, at the end, Arvid is the victim of the crime of dehumanization as he was treated like nothing throughout the movie while Thomas is now fully taken by the H.

J , committing the crime, treating others like a piece of trash and by this point, Peter is no longer a bystander as he speaks against the H.J and Thomas to stop the crimes that is being committed, dehumanization.
