Triumph of the Will



This film was shocking to me from the start. It was obviously in favor of Hitler to prove that he was a good person in the interest of the people. Throughout the film you saw lots of repetition and no emotion from the large marching army. The music was the only reason I stayed interested because all I saw was the large group of SS marching in a formation that could not happen unless they had been practicing for months. When watching I was amazing that not one person was out of line or step. By the end you could tell when they were going to walk, when they would salute Hitler and when they would chant. It is amazing to me that people actually believed this but I guess if I didn’t know the truth and was in there places I would have believed it as well. Just like in today’s society you can never tell what they are using to get you to believe what they are saying. The propaganda in this film truly stuck out, I will have to look into other films and see if it is this obvious.
