DVD Reviews of Triumph of the Will
DVD Review: Propoganda never looked so beautiful.
Summary: 5 Stars
Triumph of the Will is not a German WWII action documentary. What it is - is cinematic art. Propoganda never looked so beautiful. Most people agree Adolf Hitler was the 20th century's greatest villian. But for a brief period in history, Hitler was the face of hope to many Germans. Not above a little self promotion, Hitler recognized early on the value of cinema. He hand selected Leni Riefenstahl, a young German actress/filmmaker to direct the first great propoganda movie. Granted total control and unlimited funds, Riefenstahl produced her master work - Triumph of the Will. Anyone who enjoys great filmmaking will love Triumph of the Will. DVD Review: Only if your in to WW2
Summary: 5 Stars
You have to love good directing under difficult circumstances to really enjoy this movie.Yes it promotes the nazi's but you must see beyond that propaganda stuff and imagine what the director went thru to make this come alive.DVD Review: Terrible times re-visited
Summary: 5 Stars
Looking over the bad time of our life world wide with this "demon " Hitler and his gang of criminals.
How our lives were changed !!!!
Hoping that it cannot happen again, and watching our new {politicians??} Hoping that a similar "saviour" is not seen.
DVD Review: Propaganda...
Summary: 5 Stars
We have all seen excerpts from "Triumph of the Will" wheather we knew it or not but until you see the film from beginning to end you do not realize just how much of it had been used directly and the film technique copied as anti-Nazi Propaganda!DVD Review: A Warning to All
Summary: 5 Stars
This superb propaganda film is a warning for all generations. Germany had Hitler, well portrayed as a carnival medicine man, surrounded by puffed up, self-important people like Goering. Who is to say Huey Long of Louisiana would not have been America's replication had he lived? Mexico had Pancho Villa, Japan, Tojo. All countries seem subject to such seduction. That is why this is such an important film. We watch Hitler descend from the sky, almost angelic. The eyes of all who see him reflect glory, a new messiah. The audience swells to a cast of thousands, tens of thousands, and more. The soft speech evolves to staccato, the pauses in speech become more dramatic. Yes, "Hail Victory," Hail the leader.
Yes, hail the future. Large crowds of mindless apostates following the ultimate leader's call to "One country, one ideal, one leader (fuhrer)" could easily happen anywhere. Even America.
See this and tell all who will listen. It could happen here.
Description of Triumph of the Will
This documentary of the Sixth Nazi Party Congress at ironically enough Nuremberg is a frightening example of powerful film propaganda. It helped launch Hitler into power and its sweeping style was later used by American director Frank Capra for his war documentaries.System Requirements:Running Time 120 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. Rating:?NR UPC:?654930305294 Manufacturer No:?SFD0052Triumph of the Will is one of the most important films ever made. Not because it documents evil--more watchable examples are being made today. And not as a historical example of blind propaganda--those (much shorter) movies are merely laughable now. No, Riefenstahl's masterpiece--and it is a masterpiece, politics aside--combines the strengths of documentary and propaganda into a single, overwhelmingly powerful visual force.
Riefenstahl was hired by the Reich to create an eternal record of the 1934 rally at Nuremberg, and that's exactly what she does. You might not become a Nazi after watching her film, but you will understand too clearly how Germany fell under Hitler's spell. The early crowd scenes remind one of nothing so much as Beatles concert footage (if only their fans were so well behaved!).
Like the fascists it monumentalizes, Triumph of the Will overlooks its own weaknesses--at nearly two hours, the speeches tend to drone on, and the repeated visual motifs are a little over-hypnotic, especially for modern viewers. But the occasional iconic vista (banners lining the streets of Nuremberg, Hitler parting a sea of 200,000 party members standing at attention) will electrify anyone into wakefulness. --Grant Balfour
