I have seen pictures of Riefenstahl when he was young, and he is a beauty. Making movies for Hitler not only brought her unimaginable glory, but of course it also became a stain that could never be erased in her life. If this is not a movie about the Nazis, then according to the vigor and strength it shows, I am afraid it can score more than eight points here; if this is just a nauseous film that caters to Hitler's fascism, then stand in the consciousness Morphologically I have to rate it zero. Fortunately, after a lapse of several decades, countries all over the world, including Germany, have lifted the ban on this film and released it, which allows us to appreciate this epoch-making documentary objectively and completely from an artistic point of view. Adolf Hitler was photographed very tall in the film. Compared with the wretched little man recorded in history, Riefenstahl's shooting angle made him look imposing and powerful. Around the crowd, he is friendly and dignified, and in front of the army, he is impassioned yet elegant and steady. This look, this tone, this daring, this charisma, this kind of appeal, if Hitler seeks the benefit of mankind, then the people who are willing to follow him will not only be pure-blood Germans, he is bound to become a generation A great man; however, he chose to become a demon, and just two years later he brought an unprecedented catastrophe to mankind all over the world. In the film, students and soldiers, regardless of gender, age, or child, looked at Hitler with adoration, trust, and extreme blind obedience. When Hitler gave a speech at the military parade, everyone from the leading officer to his subordinates followed. Soldiers, all with a morbid frenzy in their eyes (it felt like the officer's eyes were shining). The film also introduces the daily life of the soldiers. From the peaceful and relaxed scene, it seems that the soldiers of Nazi Germany are spending their days with full enthusiasm and happiness. However, from these seemingly Behind the sincere smiles, we realize the terrifying aspect of this. Soon, every one of these splendid and innocent babes will have their hands covered with blood donations from countless innocent people. Everywhere will become a hell on earth, a place where the local people's nightmares happen.

    Basically, three aspects are covered: 1. The German soldiers are very good and have always raised their hands and saluted their arms without being sour. 2. The Nazi leaders are very good at giving speeches and boasting a lot of confidence. 3. The Germanic people are full of energy and noisy every day, and the spirit is better. Maybe I could still be a loyal supporter of the Nazis back then, but now I'm sleepy most of the time watching the film except for Hitler's speech.

    Memories of seeing it a long time ago...too vague...but the shrewd shot of Hitler's perverted old man is really delightful
