Triumph des Willens

Für dem AMD 6 habe ich Triumph des Willens gesehen. Es ist ein Deutsche Film, dass im Jahre 1935 gemacht ist. Den Propagandafilm habe Leni Riefenstahl gelenkt [=directed]. Ich habe nicht viel versteht, weil die Leuten haben viel über Politik und National Sozialismus gesprochen. Der Film war interessant, weil ihn alt und in Schwarz und Weiß war.

Basically the film was meant to convey the power and attractiveness of the Third Reich by showing its acceptance in Germany. The film aimed to show how National Socialism had revived Germany after the depression immediately following WWI. The styles used in the filming, including aerial photography, distorted perspective, and the use of music and cinematography were revolutionary and won Riefenstahl awards from all across Germany as well as the united states and other european countries. To a modern audience a film with no plot and very little dialogue can be very unappealing, aber Triumph des Willens war fantastisch! While the german can be difficult, one can learn important historical contexts through these types of films. There are many more interesting, historical German movies out there, and I would like to continue to find them and learn from them.
