Dreadfully Boring

Deeper than the descriptions

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I love TOTW but not for what the movie is. The movie begins with 22 minutes of marching and then thee is speech after speech of how Hitler will "improve" Germany with his plan-which everyone cheers for. Little did he know he as planning the Holocaust. The reason I love it is because of how important it is. This is a document of our world's history. As horrible as it was, it must be remembered.I do recommend it for that reason.

Honestly i don't see any difference between this documentary and for example the inauguration of POTUS administration!Both use the visual medium to tell the life of the state so both are indeed propaganda!Maybe the difference lies in the content of the speeches whatever: the leader is inspired, the country is great, the people are hardworking, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla .... No, for me, the real difference comes that this Nazi "public" documentary was the 1st in the world and every one, even royals, democrats (or so called) realized that this new medium could be a powerful stuff to seduce their citizens! And for sure, as it's Nazi (as the beetle car, as the highways, the rockets), it's automatically bad even it's really intelligent but our democracies (or so called) are much too proud to admit that!By the way, the director is really talented! There is a real sense of drama, artistic composition and technical mastery! If you have watch Episode IV and the medal ceremony at the end, you will find here the same shots! What you should keep in mind after watching this one is that you should beware of any public events aired on TV because it's only the mouthpiece of your government! As long as medias goes the same way than the government, it's propaganda!

The quality of this film for its time is fantastic and for those reasons alone it is worth a watch. However, it can never be separated from the fact that it is a propaganda movie for arguably the most murderous regime the world has ever seen. The people who made this move, whilst technically talented, were Nazis and supporters of Hitler and his genocidal crimes. It is a piece of history and can not be destroyed. But it should never be watched or admired without it clearly being in the mind of the viewer that those who made and appeared in it were responsible for the deaths of twenty three million people. The movie deserves the lowest possible rating, not for its technical quality, but rather the purpose for which it was made.

This is not a thinking-person's horror movie, it's a story. About the rise of a nation which had the potential to be the greatest in history but instead chose to fail epically. Not spoiler marked because seventy years or so is the ultimate late arrival spoiler. Where've you been? As a movie, here are my ratings: Music: 10/10, just love the Königgrätzer March, among other great pieces. Aesthetic: 11/10, perfect uniforms and symbolism Quality: 5/10, fairly shallow but passable Depth: 7/10, intellect could use work but at least it has intellect unlike today's trash Overall 9/10. As a propaganda film, here are my ratings: Music: 11/10. Often gets my blood running swiftly, especially with the aforementioned march. There are some bits that don't appeal to me, but apparently they do to other people, therefore they are effective. Aesthetic: 11/10. Here it's in reverse. Not many people think much of the film's imagery, uniforms, etcetera, but I think it's among the best ever made. Paints a beautiful picture. If only its owners actually lived up to the image of heroism they painted of themselves. Quality: 2/10. It was a very effective film for swaying the masses, who are cowardly, unscrupulous, and easily manipulated via emotions. However, even though that's fun and all it should not rely solely upon that as a propaganda film. Logical reasoning for the intellect should also be painted finely However it fails as it chose to use purposely large lies instead of truth as its source of persuasive power. Depth: 5/10. Decent, goes a good way into murky waters even in its lying. I really like how each "actor" in the film plays himself or herself. Standard of documentaries. Overall: 5/10. Has all the makings of a good propaganda film but just didn't do it right. Of course it would help if its owners were right to begin with, but they chose not to be as well.
