Comedy or Drama?

In the following text you can't expect a good english!

People who say this movie isn't realistic, never "joint" the german school system enough.

Ok, the characters are stereotyped and the story may be unrealistic for some people. But there are a lot of people out there, who feel that they are a part of this movie and understand it. You have the normal humor from allday life in school. You see hard teachers, nice teachers and teachers who are driven mad. Relationships and normal friendships like it is today in germany for young adults, who have to face with real life after school. This movie brings you problems and feelings you know very well, when you understand what this movie means.

Take the "though" guy named "stone". A character with specialized elements. Don't take him as a character, take him as an essence of thoughts of a german pupil, who is finishing school. After school you have to face with a life you won't live. Everyday you have to go to work and do your job. You will never enjoy your life in such a free way like in this time you are in school. And when you do the best you can to enjoy your life you will understand this. And the movie underlines this way of thinking. Although the characters are stereotyped you will find them in your school when you open your eyes.

This movie shows also the way of living in germany, when you are becoming an adult. "Sex, drugs and alcohol" The aim of our life is to have fun! And this time will be the best time you ever will have to do such things in your life.

I'm feeling sorry for those people who think this movie has nothing to do with real life, because they never had really fun in school.
