It's almost unbelievable how one can film a relatively calm depiction of how one school operates, yet also showcase the collapse of history, how people can be despicable, and how they can come to hate others. It's evident that there are also good people here, but somehow I can't imagine that they are the majority. Or does evil really only need a few individuals?
