One of those films that any history / cinema buff needs to watch at least once....

....although, in this case, once may be more than enough for some people. It's technically innovative, with several amazing camera shots, but the content is hollow and repetitive; if you make it through the endless parade footage, Hitler's final speech is the most inflammatory - and revealing. One thing that is made clear, however, is how hypocritical it is to retroactively condemn director Leni Riefenstahl for being seduced by the Nazi ideology at that point in time, when millions of Germans (and others around the world) were far more vocal in their support of the Fuhrer. *** out of 4.

"It is our will that this state shall endure for a thousand years. We are happy to know that the future is ours entirely!"

"Triumph of the Will," a documentary showing a Nazi Party rally in Nuremberg in 1935, is considered the best propaganda film of all time. Technically speaking, the movie was perfectly shot and edited and occasionally breathtaking, and if you neglect your historical knowledge and personal views and approach it naively and without prejudice, you will also see how incredibly compelling it is. Brainwashing this skillful is really rarely seen. However, from today's perspective, and knowing everything I know about the actors of this documentary, I cannot ignore the evil and madness rooted in its core, so I cannot force myself to give it more than a seven, though objectively it probably deserves a higher rating.7/10
