A section from Leni Riefenstahl's film of the 1936 Olympics. A supreme example of editing where physics are transcended and somehow weightlessness is achieved.

Stalin and his heavily Jewish cabinet were the greatest mass murders...40 million before WW2 started. What is with this myth that Hitler was the mad man of history and what in the hell was the U.S. and the U.K. doing by being allies with their future enemy? Hitler was kind compared to Stalin and his Jewish crony mass murderers.
Also, remember that when this was made, no one had done anything like it. So it is original and groundbreaking. That you were unimpressed by it shows how big an impact on cinematography it has made! :)
The power is not in any individual shot but in the rhythm and the movement of the whole. The entire thing is built out of repetition that slowly evolves. It moves from, at the start, shots that simply document the event (from afar, crowd shown) to, finally, shots cut so that the divers seem to almost fly. From 3:35 on you never even see the water. The crowd is gone. There is only the figure and the sky. For me, there is almost the feeling that the world has been transcended. A little goofy, yes.
