  • Leni Riefenstahl will be remembered as a modern and courageous woman (read her Memories) that revolutionized the film direction. Jen Heck is already forgotten, obviously.

  • Triumph of the Will: the greatest documentary of all time.

  • Remember, kids, that even a great creative artist can be a conscienceless criminal inside...

  • @Ariel62073 It is the most gratuitous remark I ever readed, not to say idiot one, sorry. I recomend you to revise your sense of 'greatness' in relation with 'art', the kind of 'sacrement' you ignore all about.,.

  • @sinoples You may have a point.

  • @Ariel62073 ahah this kind of gratuitous remark is so funny. Riefenstahl was a great and visionary film director, how can you call her a criminal? Read her Memoires, you stupid, she never killed anybody!

  • @TheLearningFish Manson never killed Sharon Tate, so who cares...he's an angel.

  • @Ariel62073 Seriously I don't get you; I'm only motivated by facts, I'm not interested if you're a Jew or if you're not, that should not come into play. Only look at the facts. Leni Riefenstahl never killed one person, as surely as Manson did kill Sharon Tate. She even confessed that she did not understand the hatred of Hitler for Jews, even if as an official propaganda artist she had sympathy for him.

  • @TheLearningFish

    If everyone were immediately confronted with their opinions in the form of real and present danger, etc., there would be less veiled lying in the world.

    Are you Jewish? I am not Jewish. Are you a factionist human? I see all humans needing help from hatred. Even the deluded hate-mongers need to be protected from themselves.

  • She's speaking german very badly. (I know it's fake)

  • @TheYmperator haha, do you think they did a good job?

  • damn, she looks good for 100.  (yes i know it's fake)

  • The americans with their comments here are worthless.

    There is just no historical background watching stupid TV shows.

    We will see a time when the selfish usa will be crashed.

    Your american pride brings war all over the world and at the end it will come to you!

    The Americans are not better people than the others in the world you will learn that the hard I will watch it,soon.

    Greatings from a German

  • @dietmar3622 It's not the fact that all Americans are stupid. We have a 300 million population. The wise ones tend to not post comments on youtube as often as the more ignorant ones do.

  • @dietmar3622 I agree with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @dietmar3622 I think you people believed you'd see an "American crash" a few times before... How did that all work out for you?... Did you learn anything? Oh, and FUCK you and your greEting kraut.

  • @liljgoneman

    Have u ever heard a Name called Benjamin Freedman ?It was a very honest Jews.

    And please don't call us Kraut. We eat this healthy food.

    Nobody in Germany call U Hamburger !

    Schließlich kommen deine Vorfahren ja aus Europa, eventuell sogar aus Deutschland.:-))

  • @dietmar3622

    Dietmar,... unsere Amerikanischen Freunde sind noch nicht bereit für die Wahrheit. Wie kannst du das tun?:-)))schäme dich!

  • Yes, after all these years of Allies propaganda e have a very childish idea of what Nationalsocialist regime implied.... Certainly, Rifenstal could know about the concentration camps but not about the final deviation... May we nee dto look upon this matter as a forbidden one....for the sake of more superior aims. Thanks to consider.

  • So what if she was a Nazi. Are American filmmakers guilty because America exterminated Indians and enslaved Blacks?

  • I have to admit though, with the technology she had she is probably the greatest filmmaker of all time

  • she was a nazi, eventhough she was not an official member, her films are clearly propoganda which makes her apart of the regime

  • @MagicRed11 Her films are propaganda displayed through art. No one ca confirm that she was a Nazi or not, but she did not solely make films for propaganda. 

  • She may have been a Nazi but that doesn't necessarily mean she would have agreed with killing all those Jews. She was probably very fascinated with the Nazi's, and Hitler himself. Just like everyone else in Germany.

  • I didn't watch but a minute or two because I thought this was going to be educational. Is this film being silly? The description says "satirical'...well, before you go trying to poke fun at Leni ask yourself the following question...how many people will ever know who Heck, Olnek and Robinson are? She can't help the momentum of history around her. Regardless of what you think, her works were groundbreaking and CAN'T be recreated in today's environment - unless CGI was used. She's famous U aren't

  • @alternatehistories ...she's a Nazi.

  • @Gunnerss09 You can't label everyone who existed in Germany during the 1930's as a Nazi. Nor can you make connections between Hitler's Holocaust and the ordinary German man/woman/child on the street. Do you think the Hitlerjugend or BDM knew anything about what was going on in Eastern Europe, the Einsatzgruppen? A dictatorship is a dictatorship - they run everything. Commoners like Riefenstahl were trapped within a hostile environment...you can't fault them for trying to survive.

  • @alternatehistories lolololololololololol....she's a Nazi.

  • @Gunnerss09 Very eloquent answer...you would make a great orator.

  • @Gunnerss09 yes, unfortunately she was a member of that party, but she was also found not guilty. Btw how this is supposed to be related with her capabilities? Even Wernher Von Braun was a member of the party during WWII (he probably had no choice), then he was found not guilty of any crime and he sent the men on the Moon two decades later. Genius is genius, deal with it.

  • Comment removed

  • Leni did everything with perfection. A true artist.

    RIP, Leni.

  • the most racism nation in the world is and will be USA. And all the moslems, too.

  • pretty good. at times i thought i was watching ayn rand. now there's one, she complained about public "kneeling" busses to allow wheel chairs on.

  • Actually this typical American propaganda film is about the biggest brainwashing in human history. They try to indicate that all Germans are guilty because they "did not care enough about Gypsies and Jews" etc.

    So my question is: How many Americans, British or French cared about all these Millions of innocent Red Indians exterminated by their countries?

  • @Elberiver11

    Your forgot to mention the Germans who were involved in this too. But then again, why don't you just shut up and stop bothering us with your revisionist ideas in best neo-nazi tradition?!

  • @submariner123

    Answer question moron. How many Americans, British or French cared about all these Millions of innocent Red Indians exterminated by their countries?

  • Hollywood and all western Media are run by the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, JP Morgan and other rich families, who all happen to be JEWISH BANKERS.

    I am actually surprised they depict Mrs Riefenstahl as "human", and not like they usually potray Germans .......

  • I don't know if Leni Riefenstahl was a nazi or not, but I think, is very important that you look well Olympia, and in special way, the moment where she films Jesse Owens, because in that sequence one can see that she had a big admiration for that athlete. I don't think you can film a man in that way if you don't like him or if you fill superior. Maybe she just knew how to use a camera.

  • @SonoMosi Nazis never attacked or harased Africans contrary to "democratical" countries like US

  • I met her in 1997 at a small press conference. She insisted that she had no knowledge of Nazi activity as this relates to alleged war crimes, but her defense of the notion Aryan superiority suggested that she was not being honest. She was old, so everybody took it easy on her, but nobody believed that she was unaware of Nazi crimes. And she did address the destruction of non-German art by claiming that it wasn't art that was being destroyed. She was a Nazi, of this I am convinced.

  • I see ratings have been disabled for this very poor production. The film makers could at least have the courtesy to not mention Columbia University.

  • @jpstenino it is a sadly superficial "production" indeed..

  • stupid propaganda; and even if it's true, how could she know it? And I'm sure in Slumdog Millionaire, many people that starred in the movie later starved to death. And many nigger actors of movies about africa starved to death as well after the movie.

  • Warning, anybody interested in the history or works of Leni Riefenstahl is just wasting their time on this garbage. Move on folks, nothing to see here.

  • What a trash... she was a genius. She loved her work fanatically and she gave blood for it. There are always two sides of a medal.

    This film shows one exclusively

  • A Jewish film about Ms. Riefenstahl is like a film of cats made by dogs.

  • @TheKelts hahaha so true !!!!!!

  • A siren of the twentieth century...

  • she was a great film maker and a horrible person . used children in her films as extras latter sent to death camps . the only person leni riefenstahl was interested in was leni riefenstahl . if their is a hell she is in it .

  • I hope that to the last moment of her life she was proud and felt blessed for having lived in those days of glory. And for having met and knowing HIM. The One.

  • Whatever they say about her one thing can't be denied: she was a great filmmaker.

    Besides, nazis were a leftist movement (National Socialist German Workers' Party) just like communists and socialists. They got nothing to do with a right wing like some of brainless PC's like to claim.

    An I'm saying this as an impartial Polish observer.

  • Actually, her films need to be shown widely (especially in schools!), with a lot of discussion about just how horribly wrong a political movement can go. Riefenstahl denies this, but she was in it for her own glory, and the camera lens worships the Fuhrer just as fervently as the crowd. She could have made it satirical or sly, but chose bombast and grand spectacle.

  • Gotta love how the far left nuts attacked this woman. Just hilarious and shows how despicable those people are.

  • @HokiesAndDawgs and i hate how the far right stick up for this evil woman , used children in her film latter sent to death camps . if their is a hell she is in it

  • The sic twisted poisoned mind of a jew can be felt thru this shit film.

  • @n4120p Do the world a favor and shoot yourself.

  • @RussRamz don't worry shitworm my last bullet got my name.

  • @n4120p great comment.

  • What a gal! she was one hell of a woman,and one hell of an artist what a life.

  • No judgement here Bro :)

  • SIEG HEIL LENI

    14/88

  • She has nothing to be ashamed of. "Triumph Of The Will" is the greatest propaganda piece in world history. It's fucking amazing. Every country wishes they had a propaganda movie like that one. She's a genius and quite frankly, I could give a rats ass about gypsies or some of that other shit. Afterall, no one seems to give a shit that Stalin murdered 15+ million more than Hitler. Hitler was nowhere near as bad as Stalin, Mao, or others.

  • @HokiesAndDawgs

    She has not authored her movies.

    Others like Willy Zielke did.

    When he tried to get his rights back, he was sent to a madhoude, castrated and threatend with death.

    I am ashamed of her.

    As a German.

    She was egosistic, brutal and did not lose her influence even after WW II.

    Though then she could not abuse other authors right and that is why her work then is not half as impressive...

  • @schusterlehrling

    Shameful is your government in Germany refusing to give pensions to your WWII veterans for over two decades. Be sure to thank Hitler everytime you drive over The Autobahn.

  • Does anyone know where i can find Historian Quotes on Leni Riefenstahl? Please i really need them!! Primary sources ONLY, anything like memoirs, quotes PLZ! But not HER OWN quotes but Historian Quotes about her, giving their opinion. Please link me, thanks.

  • @GoDxDeSiGNs

    Try to get the Willy Zielke mauscipt "Angst"

  • Her mind was Perfection. For those of you that dislike her try and remember Politics is very relative. Every country has their corruption issues. Did the USA over throw Chili? Do British war secrets always have to be extended 50 years UNTIL ALL THE LIVING SOLDIERS ARE DEAD? We want to know now what stupid issues the British never agreed to, to end that war! Today, an Honest Cop, is afraid of the Dishonest Cops... results of the LA Rampart Police corruption trials!

  • she was a nazi....doub hit? then i suppose when she doned teh nazi uniform while wearing a pistol ...doesnt mean anything...aside from the NAZI PROPAGANDA !!!HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @dasenuff The fact that you think there was a single Nazi uniform shows your ignorance of the subject.

  • @naltrexone23X ....it was MORE than a 'single' nazi uniform...she was armed and with other nazi's......these are facts..you seem to be the one who chooses to be ignorant by denying them. and as far as your arse hole friends who hate america for 'digging up dirt"...well maybe if there were not 'dirt' to dig up... she was gifted,,,no doubt...but the nazi's were evil..and so is anyone who deny's that fact!!

  • @dasenuff She was under the control of Hitler, what choice did she have? The fact that she did not join the Nazi Party is the first thing that shows that she was not interested in politics. Plus she only did her work, who is honestly going to stand up to Hitler and say NO THIS IS WRONG! Of course no one would. Plus her filming of Olympia and how she actually filmed Jesse Owens even though Hitler said no shows that she her intention as a director was to create meaning and art not propaganda

  • @GoDxDeSiGNs Sophie Scholl thinks your a retard

  • @nigel65deck I think you're* a retard actually :)

  • @GoDxDeSiGNs Oh I am sorry I'll leave you alone with your Nazi Vixen have fun.

  • @nigel65deck Everyone has a different opinion, if there were just straight up facts then there wouldn't be such things as: Conspiracies, theories, ideologies, Historians, and history in general

  • @dasenuff But i guess everyone has their own opinion

  • I feel she was guilty for serving a regime of which she DID know it was oppressive and cruel. She lulled her conscience -- all her life. This is something she is responsilble for, no matter how great an artist she is.

  • What people fail to realize, is, that morals and values are relative. They change. We don't know, how people in the future are going to see us. Leni Riefenstahl was an amazing artist, so spare me from your second-guessing.

  • I saw excerpts of Das Blaue Licht on the ARTS channel it was from The Wonderful and Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl, I love Das Blaue Licht film without knowing anything of this woman. Shame about the Nazi connection, but it still doesn't take from her early work prior.

  • nazi bastards

  • Кино камеру не обманешь ! Все они Гитлера снимали с Любовью !

    Это видно что очень старались !

  • To think, she was just there to do a job, like the rest of us, yet for the rest of her life tarred with a brush of a Nazi - Lets be honest, I doubt it would of been easy to decline a film offer from Hitler once he had his view of her making Triumph des Willens. It's a shame that it got to her, and these Hollywood Jews made it hard for her to continue her career and even her life.

  • Nazis were people JUST LIKE US. Until we all realize that, holocausts will continue.

  • Comment removed

  • Though I did not share her political philosophy, she was certainly the greatest film producer of all time: There a those who object to her relationship with Hitler, but even today, she has been surpassed by that gang of Hollywood Jews who have seen fit to entangle us in no-win wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, merely to weaken this great country, and destroy the greatness that used to be the United States of America.

  • Yes a great film maker but a NAZI slimebag who like the rest of the swine accepted no responsibility for their efforts to ingratiate themselves to that monster, Adog Shitler. Leni was a true scumbag in the tide of times.

  • @horatio46 - Nice words from a man who is still living on the land of millions of murdered Indians.

  • @bavarikus

    I am a descendant of those people. Even if I wasn't, I did not promote a murderous regime by glorifying it. She was someone who should have acknowledge her guilt. She didn't. She is a scumbag. Want land are you living on Bavaiakus? Who is buried under your soil?

  • Ratings have been disabled for this video, where did you learn this.

  • leni had nothing to do with politics, she made films leave her alone, attack us, the real nazi's not some poor old women!

  • Did the jews brainwashed all your stupid heads,you fuckers?Hitler liket dogs,so everyone who likes dogs is a nazy?You imbeciles,Leni was a great film maker well ahead.

  • leni was the exact kind artist that represent the force to get the germans in the state to kill even their own kind. she did the job for the nazis to massacre. no further discussion

  • Give her a break. She was a filmmaker, not an SS guard.

  • LENI über alles ||

  • Another example of young American Jews exacting their revenge...

  • Leni was a pure genius.

  • Insignificant film students shoveling filth on a truly great film maker. Nobody's going to remember Jen Heck, Lynn Cohen, or Madeleine Olnek.

    Leni Riefenstahl's works will stand the test of time despite self-righteous hateful losers kicking her grave.

  • well done!

  • Riefensthal´s esthetic work should never be viewed apart from its ethics effects.

    Because it was born under this very intention. She is a criminal. As any other promoter of criminal governments.

  • Leni honey i wish i could have marry you my darling.

  • @Rico8458 ;)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))­)))))))

  • ohh God. What did we loose - humanity loose - with the annihillation of the Reich ... the top US scientists - including my dad - just managed to this decade to undertand the tehchnology of Nazi Germany and it took them 50 years !!! where would we be now if our grandfathers were blessed with wisdom instead of fear?

  • What did we loosed ? mikebodo, thats the old question "Leibnitz X Newton"; mankind genius grow in any place. With more or less time. Nobody is lord of the evolution,and XX century Neo-Darwinists proved that. So, in fact, we , gained with the end of the german nationalist third reich ( an anti-diversity philosophy) .Make up your mind, and principally,pray for your damned soul.

  • Provoking, intense or satirical? I say: Ridicolous!

    This clip is a piece of politically-correct-propaganda­. The way-to-go are Hollywood-typical emotions. The German-speaking-sequences are embarassing.

    Conclusio: I lost 10 minutes of my life to this clip.

    Greeting from Germany

  • @Bindannweg - and I lost 144 minutes of my life watching Triumph of the Will. If this is an example of the 'genius' of Leni Riefenstahl(sp), well, you can have that genius. 144 minutes of marching, screaming and insanity does not a great film make.

  • @jhr459 Agreed!

  • @jhr459 Good point...

  • Intense and thought-provoking art, this piece.

  • einfach die Groesste!!!!

  • We had a sovereign nation for a short time between WWI and WWII. Nothing could piss off Stalin more. You say its not ethnic? I know because my family was there. He could not lose Ukraine, the black soil, and minerals were to valuable. More valuable than Ukrainians live. Stalin killed others besides Ukrainians. It was a tactic. One that seems to have fooled fools. Even Russians were involved. Western Russians, those close to Ukraine. Other SSRs, close to Ukraine. If you don't see, you are blind.

  • Millions more died because of Stalin. He was ten times more evil. More than double the number died in Ukraine alone. No one knows or cares about that because we don't have a thousand Ukrainians in hollywood, like the Jews. Russian leaders have had Ukrainians as a thorn in thier side for ages. Since before the Zaparosian host fought the Tsars. It was Ethnic to Stalin, Ukraine was an annoyance. We cried out for freedom, Sovereignty, and his agents killed us and our familys. Then he starved us.

  • @AkumA05 This lie is trotted out too often. First, you cannot put a number on evil - Hitler and Stalin lived on the same side of a bad coin. But if you insist - in all the purges dating back to 1917, Stalin perhaps killed 1 million of his own people. Hitler was directly responsible for the deaths of 11 million prisoners ALONE, and one could justly say, all the battle deaths in Europe during the war, in addition to the sufferings caused to his own people. So take your Hitler fantasy and shove it.

  • ummm no Stalin killed over 12 million people with Gulag and Famine. He quoted this number to Churchill personally. Simply bandits, and Kulaks he said. You know nothing of that history obviously. Plus all ur little "facts" are anti-nazi lies, after the war the Germans must be made monsters and Hitler not to be a martyr. The only fantasy is what we learn, the truth is obvious, but like most of the world you are a fool. Or perhaps a Kike or Pike. If Gyps and Jews got a fucking job and stopped...

  • Being a shitstain on German society maybe Hitler wouldn`t have sent them away. Which is what really happened. The holocaust is a hoax. Hitler moved scores of jews from europe to Palestine and USA under the Haavara Agreement. 6 million Jews actually. Hahaha. Also Berlin was the drug capital of europe before Hitler came. After the Jews were shipped away, it was the cleanest. So Antimatter, take your drugs and shove them up your ass you fucking sub-human. HAIL VICTORY!

  • Absolutely incorrect. Stop parading around that 1 million bullshit statistic for Stalin when every resource says it's at minimum 10 million or so.

  • this zynical-sarcastic clip is a shame on her but its also'shame on the people who have made it or'like'it; especially regarding'that foolish gypsy-act

  • Gracias por este corto, considero que esta epoca pago en Nuremberg todo lo que tenia que pagar. La cuenta esta saldada. FIN

  • Talk about rewriting history. Whoever made this was very ill informed. Leni did not like Hitler and refused to follow his directives. She then walked out on him. He came back on his knees (figuratively speaking) and begged her back - she agreed but led Hitler around by the nose. She was interested in the project, not naziism. For those on the left - she did a magnificent job - if she would have done this good a job for the kremlin, you assholes would be falling all over yourselves.

  • Madjarice you're a cunt.

  • Madjarice - I do not disagree with you about Stalin and other atrocities - I just wanted to point out the Jewish holocaust is a tragic and unique event in history and should be commemorated as such. That doesn't mean that other tragedies are less important.

  • of course what else can the people expect from people who are called with names like Jan Heck and Lynn Cohen or Ms. Olnek... for them there is only one victim in all wars of the human history...

    how about 10 million Ukrainians killed by Stalin, how about native Amerikans killed by US Givrnment, how about 2 million North Vietnamese, 6million Korean etc.

    the Germans did bad things but nothing special as every side in this war committed war crimes including jews as Soviet komissars in East Europe

  • You're a very ignorant man. Unlike all groups you mentioned, the Jews were murdered simply because they belonged to the Jewish people. It wasn't even their Jewish religion, since even those who converted were persecuted and murdered. The Nazis were obsessed with hate against Jews, just like man people today.

  • ok how about 60 million Chinese killed by Mao, or 10 millions Ukraina people killed by Stalin and another 10 million USSR citizen who again killed by Stalin... every innocent victim is a victim and there is no jew or chinese or ukrainian, but only the victim, and there is no NAZI speciality as they actually learned from the USSR, so dont make big ideology of it, just mind not to repeat this horrors OK

  • you still don't get it - of course every innocent victim is a victim - but that's not what the "lesson of the holocaust" is about - it's not about numbers but the ethnic-cleansing aspect - from all the cases you mentioned, the only case of persecution on ethnic-national group was the Jewish holocaust. That does not mean that Jewish victims are more important (who said that?) but this is the uniqueness of the shoa. Even if there were only 50,000 the implications are still the same.

  • the extermination of Ukrainians where even more hostile than NAZIs against JEWS, the Stalins special forces from CHEKA/NKVD has been hunting fro Ukrainans not only in the region which sentenced to starve to death but also in far sides of USSR: they just collected Ukraina people in camps and killed them along with millions KAZAKHS and UZBEKS: the reason was to make their countries without theirown intellectuals and culture... it was even worst than NAZIS: why because NAZIS in fact let Jewish top

  • NAZIS let Jewish top intellectuals ecape from the Reich as Emerich Kalman from Vienna or Weiss Manfred and family from Budapest, all scientists from Berlin and Gottingen Universities to fly tu US. Stalin simply butchered even Jewsih intellectuals in the USSR, so dont compare the two: Stalin was much worst than Hitler, and I have lot of old Jewish friends who share this fact as Surviviors of both Nazism and Stalinism. I suggest not to mix Fashizm with NAZISM and Communism with STALINIZM. shalom

  • Madjarice: You are an ignorant little shit and you have the IQ of a half baked turd.

    Eff Off.

  • Towards the end it seems more a tragedy than a satire .

    the KZnika spoke German like an American -

  • Schindler's list IS based on a book that is FICTION. Look tit up. That film is fantasy.

  • l'actrice est tres bonne

  • 俺の憧れの人。天才映画監督。死ぬまでナチの犬呼ばわりされた人­。

  • ... lachhaft. Sie erhielt weltweit Preise, vor dem Krieg ... she got worldwide awards, before the war ... they took it away after the war ... funny. Such videos show no manner and respect ... best from a generation not yet born that time !!!

    Sie wissen alles besser nach 70 Jahren,

    Leni würde lachen über einen solchen Unsinn .... hochgeschätzt wird sie für Ihre Kunst immer bleiben.

  • The woman playing Leni Riefenstahl isn't german. She has a really bad lingo, like a russian partisan.

  • She was awarded worldwide and Hitler got man of the year by the NY Times. So come on US bitches and show me what you've got!

  • i hope the bitch burns in hell..

  • Lynn Cohen is Magda from Sex and the City

  • vieja puta era una genia igual pero rata nazi podrida tambien

  • Es una idiotez pensar : Puta es una mujer ; todas las mujeres son putas. Igual que, Hitler era hombre ; todos los hombres son Hitlers. ¡ No está demostrado que fuera nazi !

  • She looks like Magda from Sex in the City

  • leni has a point. does film have a gender. are male film makers rated differently from female film makers?

  • this film jus sux

  • I love Lynn Cohen. Oddly, I admire Riefenstahl. See "The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl" and I you'll see how incredibly complex and absolutely fascinating this woman was. Honestly, I found "Triumph of the Will" impossible to watch. Whatever you want to call it, it's propaganda and it's disturbing. "The Last Days..." is not propaganda; certainly not in the the same sense. It's dramatic license. It also gives us yet another brilliant performance by a truly under-rated actress.

  • That's right, blame it all on her.

  • oh..thats a heated talk here... first of all i just adore her and i have to look up on her... can you guys immagine? a young girl, alone, educated, liberated , smoking , going out...at 1936? talented and sensitive and smart Second, i do believe we like to put things like the German Nazies and people like Leni - into boxes and exactly thats what is creating hatred and only this there is good in many ideas and bad in some ideas...nothing's purely good/evil...life is a grey zone..a risk
  • Geez, and Americans call "Triumph of the Will" a propaganda film! ...Nothing like a little re-writing of history.

  • Only Americans call, "Triumph of the Will," a propaganda film?

  • L'autore di si doverbbe vergognare di se stesso (se sapesse farlo): chi ha finanziato questa schifezza?

  • America is built upon lies; fake plastic.

    They love to get up on the pedeatal and judge

  • Yeah, only Americans judge the Nazis, after all.

  • that german is sooo act... sounds like DUTCH!!!

  • Isn't this Magda from "Sex and the City?"

  • Yes, she is!!! OMG! lol

  • Good performance. The Leni actress is believable and in her temper very Riefenstahlish. But the spoken German is a little bit ridiculous (for German ears). But good work for a student movie anyway.

  • Nazi Geschichte hin oder her.The days were great can't stand the f..ing americans digging dirt and trying to stitching us germans up.but everybody loves germans deep inside,nobody says so.ha ha

  • true!

  • @Oswaldfeldkatze Wir müssen uns zunächst über die Situation klar werden. Warum lassen sich die Deutschen so erniedrigen? Ein wesentlicher Teil der Antwort besteht in der Erkenntnis, dass man uns Deutsche seit Jahrzehnten über wichtige Teile der Geschichte belogen hat. So glauben (zu) viele Deutsche, dass alleine die Aggressivität der Deutschen zu den beiden Weltkriegen geführt habe. Und dieser Schuldkomplex macht wehrlos. Die wahren Ursachen beider Weltkriege bleiben im Dunkeln.

  • her german is so wrong^^ She says: Ich war niemals eine Party, what means, that she has never been a party^^

  • nazi

  • How many of Prince Philip's sister married SS officers? 3! Three of them. Talk about Nazis.

  • And?

  • BTW, let's imagine an oposite version of her life. I mean, she had used to filmmed any of dictators, mass morders from Central Africa, and then, many years later, at the risk of her life, she tied to search and rescue her jevish friends. If so, would anyone dare make film like that?

  • I belive she had no such power to protect anyone from K.L., even if she knew Adolf Hitler himself. As an artist, she surely was deeply touched, but, most likely, she could do nothing about destination of any victim of holocaust. She can't be blammed for crimes of system she lived in.

  • Widerlich!

  • So, Riefenstahl is a great artist-and I certainly concur-but "we" need to hold ourselves to a higher standard? You are kidding me, right? Oh yes, good, I will patiently await another woman director with the eye and talent of Frau Riefenstahl. But please, this piece of slander is not an example of the "higher standard" is it? Is Steven Spielberg-who is a propagandist-asked about the Israeli genocide against the Palestinians?

  • Childish, suits Hallmark's holocaust-themed melodramas...

  • Well, airplanes2007, if it is indeed a student film one can only hope you eventually found your true calling, because it is certainly not film or the truthful depiction a great artist.

  • I said "rant" because of the emotion and illogic.

    If you've read my comment, you will have seen that I agree with part of what you say.

  • That's a tu quoque fallacy, as is your entire rant. I'm not saying that other groups have not been responsible for atrocities -- I *am* saying that one atrocity does not excuse another.

    I would agree with you that Leni's art should be treated as distinct from the propagandistic aims that it served.

  • "Ich war niemals ein Partei" (5:54) means that she never was _a party_. I won't judge about the quality or truth of the film (!). However, the German that's spoken is kinda hilarious. Even the brunette Riefenstahl actor and the gipsy (?) girl have a terrible American accent (5:03, 8:12). And please, where is that a satire? It's a fiction-documentary or something.
