Traumulus

This film is a fascinating showcase for Emil Jannings theatrical play Hes a gentle school teacher who believes in his boys and is easily fooled about all things while the other town officials want him dismissed Curiously its very hard to see what the film is exactly aiming for Disaster strikes and the lax prof proves to be too far removed of the real problems of the world on the other hand his enemies are shown in the most unsympathetic satirical way denouncing the militaristic bourgeois ideology of the Kaiserreich
