		As recent studies have shown, the entirety of film culture under the Nazis was designed to disseminate its ideology through the sophisticated combination of entertainment with the mediation of political content.
		Film propaganda was thus implemented primarily by way of polarizations, in which the audience was presented either with idealized images of the perfect society or radical depictions of the enemy (both according to National-Socialist ideology).
		In films like "Feuertaufe" (Baptism by Fire), "Kampfgeschwader Lützow" (Battle Squadron Lützow), and "Stukas" (Stukas), themes like camaraderie, obedience, duty, readiness to fight, and heroic death for the fatherland were embedded and mystified in stories of adventure, romance, and male bonding – complete with spectacular flight footage.

		This heroism, of Kolberg's town, in oriental Prussia on the rib(coast) the Baltic had symbolized the heroism of common Germans in front of the invader.
		Kolberg was always in the Prussian hands when the war was finished.
		The relentless defence of this town and a film dedicated to its memory had to, with Hitler's eyes, cost more for the morale of the population, that the announcement of a military victory.

		From 1637 till 1721 Pomerania and Kolberg were part of the Swedish Kingdom (the king of Sweden being also duke of the German Empire), and after the Great Northern War they became part of the Kingdom of Prussia.
		The film was meant to inspire the Germans with its depiction of the heroic Prussian defence of the city in 1807 during the Napoleonic Wars.
		Tremendous resources were devoted to filming this epic, even diverting tens of thousands of troops from the front lines to have them serve as extras in battle scenes.

		The film was intended to boost the morale of the Germans in the last phase of World War II.
		The film was finally completed at the Babelsberg Studios at Potsdam while the town and nearby Berlin were being steadily bombed.
		The film was opened in a provisional cinema in Berlin and ran under the constant threat of air raids until the fall of Berlin in May 1945; the film came far too late for the hoped-for propaganda effect.

		Kolberg was the last epic produced under Goebbels, and its "last stand" scenario reflected the realities of the war.
		This film was based on the autobiography of the mayor of Kolberg, a small Baltic Prussian town that had resisted the invasion of Napoleon's army at the beginning of the 19th century.
		In the film, Kolberg's citizens oppose Napoleon's forces and defend the town, against all odds.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Norbert Schultze
		When Norbert Schultze, one of the most famous film composers of the twentieth century, died in 2002, the overwhelming majority of obituaries in the Western press focused on the old chanson, “Lili Marleen,” the song that marked his career and relatively short period of work in Nazi Germany.
		Film historians pointedly reveal similarities with Hollywood, in the way both industries pertained to the cultural experiences of their respective audiences.
		Placing the work of Norbert Schultze in relevant contexts might assist film scholars in understanding the complexity and totality of his oeuvre, rather than interpret it through one or two of his songs that embody instantly recognisable symbols of a tragic era.

		The film is centered on the struggle of a small Prussian town, Kolberg during the Napoleonic War.
		It dramatized the struggle of Kolberg's population in attempting to resist the invading French forces even as the local Prussian military commander decided to concede defeat and surrender.
		It seeks to bolster the endurance of the population in the face of impending enemies, to motivate them to continue the war, and to inspire the German people with courage to die and to sacrifice their lives for the fatherland.

		The movie was filmed in Utah downwind from an atomic testing range in Nevada and is often blamed for the cancer deaths of many of the cast and crew, including both Hayward and Wayne.
		The film was mocked for the poor script, over-extending the campy attitude of the previous installment Batman Forever, the poor casting of other "big-name" stars Uma Thurman and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the addition of a poorly portrayed Batgirl, played by Alicia Silverstone.
		This film is also said to have been a factor in the break-up of the engagement between its two stars.

	Kinoeye \| Book Review: Slavoj Zizek's The Fright of Real Tears
		His basic method is to discuss scenes from films as illustrations of highly complex psychoanalytic or philosophical processes and thus to cast light not just on the way particular films achieve their effects but on the art of film itself.
		This is an internal debate only fully relevant to the world of film studies, and yet it is important for the general reader as well as the specialist to bear this context in mind.
		For instance, Žižek claims that the films are not based on "anti-documentary ethereal spirituality" (77) and that their mystery and ambiguousness is rooted in the fact that Kieślowski still treats the footage as documentary material.

		IN the history of cinema, there is probably no stranger epic than the making of Veit Harlan's film Kolberg (1941-45).
		Loosely based on the tale of a German town besieged by Napoleon in 1807, the film was intended to rival Gone With the Wind, which it certainly did in terms of expense.
		Troops were requisitioned to serve as extras, and trains were commandeered to provide the film crew with 100 cars of salt, which...

		Kolberg resists against the fire and storm of French bombardment and the obvious comparisons to the allied bombing of Germany at that time is apparent.
		Kolberg is still shown repulsing every French effort to take it, until suddenly the French decide to simply stop attacking because of the terms of the treaty.
		For instance, the film labours the need of citizens to fight when they are threatened, and makes a triumph of the eventual accptance by Gneissenau that death is better than surrender.

		Goebbels therefore did not intend to use film in the struggle for power; rather, once power was achieved, he intended to use film to effect a nationwide commitment to Nazi ideology.
		Riefenstahl was known for her pre-Nazi films and the fact that she then amde films for the Nazis would no doubt have been seen by many as an endorsement, whether they actually saw her films or not.
		The climactic sequence of this attack is film of the ritual slaughter of an animal, a sequence considered so shocking by the authorities that women were not admitted to performances of the version which included the sequence.

		Images of Goebbels charred corpse serve as cinematic bookcases at both the beginning and the end of the film.
		You learn that Hitler's favorite men were not friends (Goebbels hated Goring, for example.) The making of the Veit Harlan’s pro-Nazi party film, Kolberg (1945) is illustrated with color footage from the film.
		The film lets Goebbels speak for himself through the diaries he kept, as never before seen historical footage from German archives traces the life of the second most powerful man of the Third Reich, detailing his initial attraction to the Nazi party and his adoration of Hitler.

		The first screenings of the sound film department in the mid 1920s do not convince the Ufa bosses, the department even has to leave the Babelsberg area as the noisy film shooting of "Metropolis" disturbs its experiments.
		At gigantic expenses, the film "Kolberg" (1943/1945, DIR: Veit Harlan) – the most expensive film of the Nazi era with Heinrich George in the main role – is made for the purpose of agitation.
		The film "Einer trage des anderen Last" (DIR: Lothar Warneke) is received very well by audiences and discussed intensively, although its topic – tolerance between Christians and socialists and their common humanistic ideals – is as past-due as reforms in the GDR.

		Laced with anti-Christian symbolism and National Socialist ideology, the film is a mirror of Hitler Germany's own war for survival.
		In its characterization of Kolberg's besieged citizenry, the epic allegorically reflects the spirit of fanatical resolve to fight on, that Nazi propaganda was attempting to instill in the German population during the final years of World War II.
		The film was directed by Veit Harlan, with music by Norbert Schultze.

		Rökk is not only a brilliant, acrobatic dancer and a passable comedienne, but also a good singer, starting the film in low cabaret-like voice and showing off her soubrette soprano towards the end.
		She always was on the stout side (she probably needed strong muscles to perform her acrobatics), but in this film she really looks good and elegant.

		The film was first shown to German troops in Occupied France (La Rochelle).
		This film can be watched - and indeed enjoyed - as a work of art, unless you absolutely want to read propaganda into it.
		But a film starts living its own life since the moment it's completed, and we are stupid if we fail to recognize its merits merely because we know, that we are supposed to be blind to them.

	Kolberg
		The film tells the true story of a small village which resisted Napoleon's armies when all the larger fortresses had surrendered.
		In the film, the mayor of Kolberg, Joachim Nettelbeck, played by Heinrich George (tortured to death in Buchenwald by the Communists after the war) is discussing surrender with members of the town council.
		I don't think this means that any nation of people craven enough to surrender to Napoleon without fighting would build gas chambers for itself and commit suicide to the point of becoming extinct; I take it to mean that the verb "ausrotten" can be used more or less figuratively, even with regards to people.

		The goofs in the film are miniscule, and the story is approached as a last-ditch effort to shore up morale amongst the German citizenry during the final stages of WWII.
		In fact, the real city of Kolberg had fallen to Russian bombardment already, which was kept from the public on orders of Goebbels himself.
		He was definitely a film wannabe, and if one ignores the obvious propaganda beeswax, you can see an epic film made to serve as a too-belated propaganda vehicle.
