The artistry of a great documentary, whose political intent and propaganda purpose always fails to look at it, is undeniable that this woman who was a Hitler loyalist was a director who should be called a genius. Before and after the Sixth Party Congress, when Hitler took the position of Führer, in 1933, during the brewing period of World War II.
In the speech and eloquence class in his freshman year, the teacher blurted out "Hitler is a talent!" When he mentioned Hitler's speech ability, he quickly corrected and said, "He is sinful, so he can't use talent, but he is really a genius. "All of us here burst into laughter. During that time, the classmates who took his class were all interested in Hitler. Today I finally saw the first-hand information. Although it is exaggerated due to the director's subjective intention, the fragments of Hitler's speech are true and unmistakable. The sonorous tone, concise and powerful gestures, and torch-like eyes were too provocative. If you don't know the history of the Nazis, you will be really bewitched by him, thinking that what he said is quite reasonable. He took inspiration from Simmel's theory of linguistic signs, and captured the powerful speeches that people have indiscernible sane point of emphasis on repetition to great effect. (Because of this, Simmel was criticized by the academic circles, who classified him as an accomplice, and he was anti-Marxist. In fact, can this be blamed on him? And who does not agree with the theory and who provokes who?)
There will be no more movies about Movies from the Nazi recess period can surpass "Triumph of the Will", who will give you a helicopter to shoot Hitler's military parade? And so close to him, looking up at him. This is a valuable historical material of that era.
From a film perspective alone, this is also a very good work (combined with the characteristics of the times and technical limitations). The footage captured in the film is full of admiration and admiration for Hitler, and the shot aimed at Hitler also uses an elevation angle without exception, highlighting the loftiness and holiness of the "leader". The smiles, excitement, fanaticism, happiness of the people, eagle badges and swastika flags, uniform corps, unified gestures, etc. montages all serve the theme of the film to say "Long Live Germany, Long Live Hitler!" . Those grand scenes can't be seen by a female director at all, and their grandeur requires a very strong heart to shoot. This is always decided that this is an immortal work, but its political intentions are too dazzling, and the kind of worship makes people linger in fear. The Second World War was too cruel, people could not forgive Hitler's madness, and it was also impossible to accept such a film that even the camera sang Hitler's praises.
When watching this film, I often think of the situation in our country, and then reflect on it. Our cult of personality is even worse; Hitler's political party cultivated a group of pioneer youth leagues and youth leagues, and the Communist Party has youth pioneers and Communist Youth Leagues, there is no difference; education conveys the spirit of sacrifice for the country, at that time in our country (It still exists now) to encourage solving difficulties for the country, and the "comity spirit" of first everyone and then the small family is similar.
