I saw this movie. the Germans had cool uniforms and pith helmets. But Tarzar was a dick, his neighbors were under oppression and he didn't care. It was kind of racist in it's own way, all the "Native Africans" were white.
@Highice007 You're missing the point. America as a whole was the same way as WWII raged in Europe. We kept saying it wasn't our fight and we'd just stay over here and be left alone. When Tarzan finally gets pissed off and grabs his knife and says "NOW, Tarzan make war!" That's the United States after the Japanese attacked on Dec. 7. You knew after Tarzan says that he was gonna kill all those NAZI bastards. Winston Churchill said the same thing about the United States. Tarzan was us.
By the time this film was made in 1943 the US had been at war for a few years so the US populace had already discarded their isolationist policies. The line "Now Tarzan make war!" pandered to the patriotic pride of US audiences. The US came to the rescue of poor miserable Europe in the first world war and they did it again in WWII. Every US citizen believed they were the smartest, bravest and luckiest nation on earth and the film-makers knew that. It's called "audience manipulation".
