Movie Info

Triumph of the Will (Triumph des Willens) is a filmed record of the 1934 Nazi Party Convention, in Nuremberg. No, it is more than just a record: it is an exultation of Adolf Hitler, who from the moment his plane descends from Valhalla-like clouds is visually characterized as a God on Earth. The "Jewish question" is disposed of with a few fleeting closeups; filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl prefers to concentrate on cheering crowds, precision marching, military bands, and Hitler's climactic speech, all

The most famous and infamous propaganda film of all time is revealing for its stern depiction of the way Hitler's Germany sought to present itself to its own countrymen and to the outside world.

Este exemplo cl�ssico do Cinema usado como arma de propaganda pol�tica � extremamente eficiente e bem realizado - o que o torna ainda mais assustador.

As sickening as it might be to watch, it's this alternate point of view that is important in helping us learn from the past.

A classic and power example of film propaganda, despite its hateful political message.

It drags at times, becoming a little bit boring, but other than that, Triumph of the Will is the greatest propaganda film ever made. The cinematography gives it an epic feel, the music compliments the film nicely, and, as a historical document, it is a compelling look into the power held by Adolf Hitler and his followers.
