Watch Mädchen in Uniform For Free

From my favorite movies..

Excellent adaptation.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Madchen in Uniform was a surprisingly bold movie for its time. Set in Germany, before the Nazis came into power, Madchen in Uniform addresses the issue of lesbianism in an all girls boarding, and, in a broader sense, society. Although by no means as graphic and as explicit as films produced today, Madchen in Uniform was still a candid portrayal of homosexuality for its time. Aside from the actual topic though, I personally didn't feel that there was much to the movie. The movie lacked any real plot. It mainly revolved around a young girl, who, because of being homesick, found both security and love in a teacher. It is true that the movie was a source of much controversy, but as far as I'm concerned, this is the entire movie was able to accomplish.

The German film Madchen in Uniform was an interesting film. I was a little caught off guard because first I didn't know that it was a foreign film and secondly I wasn't in the mood to see a film of that sort on that particular night. Thus since I feel that there is a certain type of movie to fit each mood and if you watch a phenomenal movie when you are not in the mood to see it the caliber of that film declines in your mind. Thus I don't think I gave this film a fair chance from the beginning. I thought it was interesting how this film reflecting an obvious presence of lesbians and homosexuality experimentation far preceded its time. I also think that not only did it far precede its time that I thought people were open to homosexuality but I would never expect a film to portray homosexuality in a positive light in the 1930s. However, one thing that I don't understand about the film is that when it came to America supposedly all of these aspects of homosexuality were censored. I don't understand if you took out all of these signs that point to lesbians what parts of this movie would remain. I think the only worthwhile aspect of this film lies in the context with which it discusses homosexuality.

Mädchen in Uniform This was a very bold film. It presents the controversies of lesbianism, teacher-student relationships, and antifascism in Germany in the 30's. The acting is of great quality. You don't need to know German to understand what's going on, even with out the subtitles. I find it interesting that feminine sexual powers are used throughout the film. The beloved teacher, Fräulein von Bernburg, uses her sexual powers to win the affection of the children, keeping them in check. During rehearsals for a play, one of the girls is told to use her feminine powers (to be more seductive) to play her part. Sex appeal is also mentioned in describing a movie star. The antifascism isn't blatant in the film, but in the opening scene, we see soldiers marching and then the schoolgirls marching, hinting at the hidden meaning. This film has a place in history and is worth seeing.

This was more than a gay classic, this film was a social commentary on the time period it was set in. We all now well know the views held on homosexuality by Hitler's socialist party which was coming into power during the time this movie was made. The entire film foreshadowed many of the things that would happen to people who were not seen as desirable in the eyes of the German government. One part especially, where the students and teachers were forbidden to have contact with Manuela, spoke of the public shunning of Jews and other so-called undesirables who were forbidden contact with other people. Of the three movies that Leontine Sagan directed this was the only one made in Germany. Given the fact that Sagan was of Jewish ancestry and the main theme of this movie was of love between women, it's not hard to see why her career in Germany was short lived.
