Anomalies are both demons

There is no denying that the success of this documentary is complete. I wanted to say unprecedented, and while almost all the comments said she ushered in a new era and created heights that are still insurmountable, I can't. Because I haven't seen her previous works.

It is quite affectionate, it is to be in it without you thinking about it. Boundless, endless sea of ​​people; passion, inspiring speeches; and worship, from the height of people to leaders, and then from leaders to God is indisputable.

In this documentary, it is very clear that a problem is realized: a good politician must first be a good speaker.
He has the ability to stir people's emotions and the ability to mobilize people's enthusiasm. Responding to every call, dazzling and good at catching.

Being good at catching, this is also Refensk's ability.
The grand scenes of tens of thousands of people are luxurious and magnificent, but they will pay attention to the details. The rhythm of the military parade in the square will continue to extend downward and focus on the pious eyes of a certain soldier. And those shots that were almost attached to the flag and the close-up pictures of the huge flag filled with the whole shot, constantly impacted the line of sight and shocked the nerves. It's not hard to imagine people's reactions to this film in the social context at that time, I think, they should be worshipped. As those film critics said, it has risen to the height of religion and is sacred and inviolable. Only for today, this is completely negative teaching material in mind and spirit.

A documentary without any plot or lines can have such a profound impact, and the role of the camera is indispensable. Riefenstahl, as long as you see her photos, you can see her stubborn personality and uncompromising spirit, intellectual beauty, angular and neutral face, she is naturally broad-minded. Capture magnificent scenes.

"I'm just an artist, I don't care much about reality, I just want to keep all the goodness of the past. I'm only faithful to everything that is beautiful and harmonious, maybe this way of handling it is quite German, but it's not my will, It comes from the subconscious mind." - Leni Riefenstahl

has a different value orientation in each era, in such a crazy and chaotic era, maybe she just did something for her ideal at that time. . Unexpectedly, it was so beautiful that it could not be forgiven.

If things are abnormal, they will be demons.
She will never be successful in her life. 70 years of being unable to direct, but still as tenacious as a cactus in the sand. Learn to dive at an advanced age, and then shoot works.
I wonder if the world will be moved by her dedication to this cause.
Not having a director for 70 years has become her irreparable regret, as well as our regret. Maybe the world has lost a few movies that can be called classics.

The deceased is gone.
Seeing news that she is planning to make a biopic about her, I am looking forward to it. Hopefully there won't be as much resistance this time around.
Just for these, the shots that make our hearts feel so huge and gigantic.
