Where to Watch The Edukators
- cultfilmlikerJuly 1, 2026Es lebe die Revolution! ☭ “The best ideas survive.” “We live in a capitalist dictatorship.” Hey, that sums up America pretty well right now! “The antidepressants won’t work forever.” Hey, that sums up me pretty well right now! “Justice? Nah, just us!” - those Rams from The Sheep Detectives but also these guys too It’s Alpha Dog, but praxis Kinda reminds me of Savages as well. But like….good Daniel Brühl!? Hilarious that Hollywood saw a young man acting in an anti-capitalist film and were like, “We found our next big star!” But it’s also a cautionary tale about forgetting about the micro when worrying about the macro. And vice versa. Just a romdram dressed up as progressive politics lol Ayeee never mind there’s the turn! “I am very poor and can’t make ends meet and oh, just btw, my uncle owns a cabin he never uses with just the most absolutely stunning views you’ve ever seen.” A very quick progression to terrorism from this group! I had Déjà vu twice while watching this. What the fuck [note: I had it for a third time while pouring and then putting away cereal immediately after this film. Beginning to be legitimately concerned] Profound progressivism. You’ve seen similar plots before but almost certainly not executed this well! However, I would argue that this incorporation of the song “Hallelujah” rivals if not exceeds the ceaselessly hated-on scene from Watchmen. I’m just sayin’ Added to The Non-English Niche
