A group of lunatics are performing on stage, and people in a country are bewitched. People from all walks of life and of all ages are fighting for a goal that is impossible to achieve. This is what Hitler and his Nazis did in Germany. This documentary shows the relationship between the Nazis and the people. In the film, the Nazis portray themselves as the heirs of the German tradition, the future realizers of Germany, and the unquestionable command right over Germany now, through sacred reasons such as the nation-state tradition. , to control the entire society, and to coerce the people to satisfy the infinitely inflated desires of the few through hints and explicit demands.

How the Nazis have mastered the fate of so many people in such a short period of time, the respect and imagination of democracy for the Nazis is a

fanatical control their ideology.

Shows us how cleverly they connect themselves to German historical traditions

Shows us the beauty of collective life,

lies a thousand times is the truth, endless rallies and speeches, repeating the message : Nazis are the future of Germany, all Germans should be democrats in order to be called Germans, all those who disagree should be purged, they are simply not Germans, Hitler's representative said it more blatantly : What you want to express is what Germany wants to express, and what you want to do is what the Germans do.


If a person who is engaged in creation has such a mode of thinking, or if the individual does not impose it on others, then it cannot be said that he has any problems, but when a few people impose their views on others through means, this country gives the whole world It brought disaster.

This film made me have some understanding of the behavior of the totalitarian state, such as: ideological indoctrination should start from the baby, such as everyone must work towards a goal,
such as eliminating internal dissidents is correct and appropriate to sacrifice the individual for the collective and It is part of the country's journey to a great future that everyone from one generation to the next has to make his contribution to the country. Tens of

thousands of people gathered in one place to speak the same words.

Hitler always stands tall and looks taller than others. In fact, most of the shots in this film are the comparison between a single passionate Hitler and a large number of fanatical people, probably to express Hitler's attitude towards Germany through such a simple comparison. The domination is inevitable. When the camera is aimed at Hitler to show his great power, the camera position is different every time. I really admire the director's creativity. Compared with CCTV's shot of dealing with the central leaders, it seems a lot more rigid. CCTV is recommended. The editors and directors of the film learn a lot.
This is the originator of the establishment of a personality cult.


The scenes of filming parades and some group movements are also very good. The processing of every small paragraph, from the direction of the movement to the rhythm of the control, has reached a high level of abstraction. In fact, there are some Berlin Symphony. Shadow, specifically whether the director or the director made such a treatment, it seems that the culture is still inherited. What I admire most is the last shot of the military parade. It is a very long shot with a lot of content. The leader leads the team around the street corner. The leader walks to Hitler and greets him. Hitler motions him to stand. Next to him, the camera then turns to the parade, one passing and another following in the sideways. Very little nonsense, absolutely neat.

The film also shows some Nazi specialties, such as: shovels treated like guns (representing the militarized management of the German working class) Flag ocean, that is, everyone holds a flag (this may also be a collectivist force) An external manifestation, a genius idea, I don’t know if the background flag of the Chinese Congress is simplified here) and the Nazi flag with blood (this flag was taken very seriously by Hitler, probably to indicate that he did not forget his roots or was right. Respect for history) Children's drum and trumpet team (I don't know what to say about this) and the ubiquitous signs of barbed crosses and eagles, all of which are stalwart and inevitable, showing the full inevitability of their existence . These all have a strong taste of socialism.


Centralized governments will make up reasons for you to do this, which are often absurd from a historical or bystander point of view, like the reason the Nazis gave the Germans at the time was, we come from tradition, we are going to a better future, We are Germans, we have to be pure nationalists, so we are against all dissent, all who try to disrupt our movement, we Nazis represent the spiritual orientation of the whole of Germany, the leader of the Nazis is Hitler, so Hitler represents With this Germany, what Hitler wants to express is what Germany wants to express, Hitler's pursuit is the pursuit of the whole of Germany, and everyone must pay for Hitler's pursuit, whether you are a child, a teenager, a farmer, a worker, even if you pay The price of your life, if you don't, you're simply not German, you're alien, and you're going to be purged.

I don't want to follow the line, I want to go home and listen to rock music and smoke weed.
