Using footage from "The Wonderful Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl" and "Triumph of the Will" I created this 10 minute documentary about Leni. I realize their are a few grammatical errors in my reading cards so yah.

  • what is the song used, anyone know?

  • @btown2011 during which part?

  • This is a nice video. For once, it is a piece about LR that presents her views without editorializing about how she must have been a horrible person. I think she was, like almost every German, excited at the prospect that her country might make a comeback after the devastation of WWI. That is necessary perspective whenever considering her work.

  • Thank you :) I just wanted to present her as a person. I didn't want to be biased in anyway.

  • @FilmMiracle That is not correct. Your way of editing is charging here unnecessarily. When she speaks about labour and peace message you show the SS marching. You coudl have shown the boyscouts, the harvesting, the beautiful countryside, the spontaneaous joyful faces.It is your choice biaising her words.

  • @wolfgang911 I think you are making your own correlations to the images. My intent was to never juxtapose her words of peace and freedom with the SS as if to be ironic or something. That just happens to be the footage I decided to follow up with her speech.

  • The documentary of Leni Riefenstahl was telecasted on the television in Japan in September this year.

    To assumption that she is a cooperator of Nazis, and the criticism

    I think that cooperating in Nazis in warfare at that time was a usual doing

    Anyway, her "Victory of the intention" is wonderful, and an art of forming.

  • As a Chinese fan, I worship the ground she walked on.

    A genius, 50 years ahead of her time.

  • @FilmMiracle At :18 seconds and :54 seconds

  • @btown2011 Clair de lune

  • @bearcub410 I like this charming person !!!

  • why does Hitler hate the Jews that much? And who is Lenin?

  • @FilmMiracle 18 seconds
