Goebbles would be proud of such propaganda coming from the Hollyweird.Nonsense, Leni Reifenstahl (sp?) wouldn't have let these propaganda pikers anywhere near a lens--on either side. I do not agree with the content of "Triumph of the Will" but as propaganda, it is a benchmark these snobs fall far short of.

I was thinking more along the lines of The Eternal Jew. The Nazis had more than one filmmaker shooting propaganda for them.

"Triumph of the Will" is a masterpiece. Unfortunately, it was one for the bad guys.
It is one of those films that you can only praise in the proper context as too many people will automatically jump to the conclusion that you're a nazi (Joe are you now or have you ever been a nazi?). As abhorrent as the nazis were they did leave items of historical significance. That film is one of them.BTW nazi is deliberately not capitalized as they don't even deserve that honor.
