Arvid played the guitar at the swing clubs, and only knew swing songs. He was so passionate about the music, and felt that he could play whatever he wanted to play, and the Nazis can't control him. Throughout the movie, Arvid had been beat up by the Nazis for being a swing kid. They beat him up so bad, that he couldn't play certain songs, because his hand was broken. The HJ insisted he play a song that they know he can't play, and that's when he freaked out on them. He stood up for what was right. This is why Arvid acted out so emotionally against the Nazis. He knew that what they were doing wasn't right, and he had a very strong opinion about that. His friends turned on him and joined the HJ, and it changed them tremendously. It affected their friendships, because they disagreed on so many topics. Arvid felt as though his friends and country were against him, so he killed himself.

Arvid was a passionate musician.  He was a young cripple and often had trouble keeping up with his friends but music allowed a sort of escape.  Thomas always made him feel kind of bad about himself because of his disability and so they clashed quite often.  When his friends joined the HJ, they began to change and even though they denied the change Arvid could see it.  This was one more thing that they left him behind in.  He got beat up by some HJ members and he began to be even more against Nazi society.  When he played music with a couple people at this event, he was asked to play a German song but he flipped out and said it wasn't German, it was Nazi and he refused to play it.  He stopped going out with his friends and gave his guitar to a guy and told him if he wanted to hear the song he could play it himself. Arvid felt he really didn't have anything left, no music, not the friends he used to have, so he committed suicide.

Arvid was one of the three main characters in swing boys. He was a crippled teenager who loved records and playing swing music with his band. Throughout the film Arvid became more and more passionate about the revolt against the Nazis. Arvid reacted emotionally towards Swing Kids because he believed Swing was a form of music, not revolt. His choices between playing Swing, acting out towards Nazi officials, and committing suicide, represented how strong he felt about hating Nazis.

In the beginning of the film, Arvid was depicted as a budding musician and avid music lover. Music acted as a sort of escape for the young crippled teen, and it represented a portion of his life that was unaffected by his disabilities. With his handicap, he often had difficulty keeping up with his friends, and was seen often seen as inferior. Arvid was always very Anti-Nazi in his beliefs since his character was honestly the embodiment off all the most hated traits in a young German boy: non-athletic, illegal music-loving, and crippled. As the film progressed, Arvid become more and more vocal against Nazi-culture and values. After both of his closest friends became soldiers of the H.J. he felt betrayed and suddenly distanced from them. Due to his extreme feelings of hate toward the world he lives in and toward those he once called his "friends", he committed suicide in a symbolic act since he used a broken record as the weapon against his body.

His friends accepted him because he knew his music and could play guitar well and they had all known each other for a while. He began to change when his friends joined the HJ and began harassing him. Especially Thomas. Arvid reacted so emotionally because he was passionate about what he believed was right. He believed that what the HJ was doing to children was wrong and he did not want to be influenced like his friends were. His major choices were standing up to the soldiers and still playing guitar, acting against authority, and finally giving in to all of the verbal and physical abuse from others and killing himself.

Arvid was a physically crippled teenager that loved to play his guitar and listen to records. As the film developed so did Arvid's character and he started standing out ,more and more against the Nazi regime especially after he was asked to play a German song. Being confronted by Thomas had a major impact on Arvid because he not only felt physically different from his friends but now he was morally in the small majority. Arvid chose to stop the pain and constant confusion of being an outcast by slitting his wrists with a record and ultimately stopping his own life.

In the beginning, Arvid was a talented young musician with a passion and devotion to music, most especially swing. He liked being around the swing kids, which his two best friends, Peter and Thomas, were, but was also very different from them. He had a physical handicap that made him not be able to run and dance like the others, which made him insecure and feel left out. He felt superior in intelligence to other people, and he and Thomas often clashed. He was beat up for his love for swing music and defiance to the Nazi regime by a young man who used to be his friend. His hand was damaged by this attack, which made it very difficult to play music like he used to, and his love for music faded away along with his will to live as he saw society and his friends changing around him in negative, Pro-Nazi ways, and killed himself. His use of a broken record to slit his wrists was very symbolic, as it represents the rebellion of his past and how that past had been broken and was no longer the same. Arvid had been driven to this extreme act by feelings of hatred toward those who used to be his friends, the Nazis, and his own broken body. He had defied the Nazis on multiple occasions, and this was his final act of defiance, showing how he would never give in to Nazi ways.

Of the three main characters introduced in the beginning of the film, Arivd seemed to be one of the most compassionate. Since he was physically disabled he was unable to dance and keep up with his two best friends, Peter and Thomas. He did however have an amazing ability to play music, which he did at the clubs , I believe it truly freed him while playing. In the beginning he lets everything just happen but as the film progressed he began to really express how he felt. He had a strong disliking of the Nazi society and everything they stood for. The Nazi's were awful towards the swing kids. He was able to deal with the way their society was until Peter and Thomas joined the HJ. Arivd felt betrayed by his closest friends, they tried to tell him that it was only so they did not get into trouble and they could be HJ by day and swing kids by night. He knew that their plan would never work out, feeling alone he began to really express how he felt, then one day HJs came and beat him up. After getting beaten up Arivd did not leave his room. After he finally felt comfortable leaving his room and he got a place to play music he began to brighten up a little, then a man requested a song that represented the Nazis and Arvid became outraged. Everything seemed to go downhill from there and by the end he decided to kill himself because he could not handle the Nazis and he felt he would rather die than live in a Nazi filled world.

Arvid is a young, insecure musician with a love of music and a progressing hatred of the Nazi society. In the beginning of the film, his friends and activities kept his morale high. Later, however, he was beaten by members of the HJ in the street, rendering two of his fingers useless. Soon after, he discovered that his friends had joined the HJ, a shocking realization. His friends, who had always been there by his side, dancing swing and listening to his music, had essentially turned on him. From this instance his morale began a steady decline. The final straw in his descent took place at a club he was playing at. A Nazi requested a "good German song," which offended Arvid to the point of emotional breakdown. He retaliated, explaining how horrible the new Nazi-constructed culture was, and what the blind followers had become. His (former) friend, Thomas, ridiculed him outside the club. Seeing that he had no where to go, and no friends to stand by, Arvid went home and slit his wrists in the bathtub. Arvid reacted so emotionally because of the great emotional impact both the Swing movement and Nazi culture had on society. The Swing movement was a safe place, and a free place for Arvid. The Nazis were an unstoppable evil, destroying the very life that Arvid so dearly loved. He decided that neither Thomas nor Peter were truly his friends, and decided that death would be a better alternative to living a terrible, Nazi ruled world.
