Triumph of the Will is a Nazi propaganda film that seeks at and succeeds at portraying Hitler’s Germany in a positive light, while America and the Holocaust provides a more truthful perspective, and together, the films show how the Holocaust was possible.
The film shows that the U.S. Department of State actively opposed helping Jews, xenophobia and discrimination were popular in America, there was not a public outcry against Hitler, and finally America was persuaded to help the victims of the Holocaust.
As the film’s title suggests, America was somewhat indifferent to the plight of the Jews not only because of their preconceived biases but also because of deceit by the government.

Triumph of the Will is one of Leni Riefenstahl's masterpieces and together with another of her great work, Olympiade (Olympia, 1938), are perhaps two of the best known documentaries ever made.
In the film, this community of faith was degraded to the position of cadre that was pure and simple, which was able to move along under the artistic direction of the director.
Throughout the film, the flag was used to communicate all the themes and ideals of Nazi ideology such as the Führer, the national community (volksgemeinschaft), the fatherland; obedience, race, faith and hope.

 Mother Figure in Film
In the three films “Triumph of the Will”, “La Marseillaise”, and “Lifeboat” the traditional role of “mother” is assigned to female characters and used as a tool in order to unify the population of each country (Germany, France, and the United States respectively), during times of social and political upheaval, with renewed nationalistic sentiments.
From the first film, “Triumph of the Will”, the scene that presents the German mother bringing flowers to Hitler, then in “La Marseillaise” there is the scene with the young mother walking by the resting soldiers, and finally, in “Lifeboat” the scene where Mrs.
The mother in this film should be sitting in front a nice warm fire with her child at home, not trudging through the night dragging the child behind her and it is a major failure on the part of French men that she is not able to do so.

She was the first film maker to perfect these intricate lighting techniques that are still used today.(11) The innovations that Riefenstahl brought to the profession of film making are one of the things that made her a truly amazing artist.
Well, if there was no controversy over whether her films should be shown, they may have never have gained the recognition that they deserved as propagandist films that have the ability to create intense emotion in the viewer.
The aesthetics of her films are revered as groundbreaking and her skills as a propagandist are known as none less than amazing.

 Fact vs. Fiction: 'Triumph of the Will' vs. 'October'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The film is dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the revolution, thereby limiting itself in the main to a mere spectacle of celebration.
Triumph of the Will is not a "recreation" of historical events, but rather a documentary (albeit a rather propagandistic one) of the events themselves.
The reason that Riefenstahl was not “forced” to fictionalize her account of National Socialist glory was the fact that she was in the middle of it and not trying to "recreate" it (as was Eisenstein when he portrayed Communist glory).

 The DVD Journal: Triumph of the Will: Special Edition
Even before you get to its political aspects, the film shows its age because it fails to overcome its primitive technique and melodramatic narrative structure, rendering it a document of solely historical and sociopolitical interest, a movie not at all tolerable in even the conventional sense.
After viewing Triumph of the Will the viewer is most likely to realize that, for a propaganda film, there are hardly any ideas in it, mainly just emotional references to an undivided Germany, to the past, and to blood.
Working with what she had, and with a mountain of footage to draw upon, Riefenstahl was able to film the convention as a documentary and then recreate it on film as an emotional event.

All film is imbued with some form of ideology—as long as a film has evoked a person’s emotions, then it has propagated a certain point of view on that person (“Propaganda”).
Triumph director Leni Riefenstahl and Stargate director Roland Emmerich are able to communicate this form of ideological expression through their knowledge of cinematography and editing techniques, and propagate nationalism implicitly.
Films which are imbued with ideas reflective of the dominant ideology in its “chaste” form give no indication that the filmmakers themselves were aware of that ideology’s presence.

 Leni Riefenstahl
She was casted in three of Fanck's films, in which her beautiful looks were set for her disappointment secondary to the beauty and purity of the mountains.
The great opposites of the film are Hitler, who is shown only a few times, and the great African-American athlete Jesse Owens, the true hero of the first part, who triumphed over Aryan race theories.
The British Film Institute had withdrawn its invitation in 1960 for Riefenstahl to give a talk about her filmmaking, but in 1974 she was honored at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado, and in 1976 in Montreal Summer Olympics Riefenstahl was invited as a guest of honor.

Leni Riefenstahl’s classic piece of historical filmmaking, filmed during the 1934 Nazi Party Rally in Nuremberg, Germany, is considered by many to be one of the most important and controversial films ever made.
The film, realized by Paul Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Reich Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, was created to influence all of Germany to support the “power” of the Nazi Party.
Sets were especially built to accommodate cameras and Hitler was filmed separately from the crowds so Riefenstahl could edit together a film that would manipulate imagery and seduce the mind.

 First Draft
Although Riefenstahl’s films are controversial in nature due to their backing by the Nazi Party, I argue that the present use of her films as reminders to the horror of the Nazi party are a positive aspect to her work although this was not their original intent.
Hitler wished her to produce his films because he was attracted to her and he "requested" that "I want you to make pictures just for me, just about me and the Movement" which she did from 1933 onward.
Riefenstahl says "Hitler did not play such an important role in my life, I made one film for him, which had three parts, and out of that the press wove a legend." (12) So thus, the controversy around Riefenstahl and her films was born, but it didn’t end.

It was filmed during the Nuremberg Rally in 1934 and features amazingly vivid scenes: stadiums of hypnotized youth, infinite marching columns of fl-booted soldiers, and the awesome spectacle of precision mass rallies.

 German Directors - Leni Riefenstahl
Riefenstahl's first film as director was shot on location and emphasizes the romantic mysticism of the mountains and the transmuting power of nature.
Although it features many of the same themes as his mountain films of the 1920's, this epic Arnold Fanck adventure is set at sea-level off the coast of Greenland, where a band of explorers and scientists (played by Gustav Diessl, Rod La Rocque, and others) cling to life on an eroding iceberg.
Made at the end of the silent era, this unique film by G.W. Pabst and Arnold Fanck is a classic example of the German mountain film: first-rate hybrids of documentary and melodrama that also feature embryonic propaganda content.

 German movie depictions of boys clothing: NAZI era
Individuals in NAZI films are creatures of the state, not God; all totalitarian regimes want to destroy the old world (represented by Heini's alcoholic, abusive father, who is also a Communist) and his mother, who is a decent and good woman, but ineffectual.
One segment of the film shows an HJ member having supper with a host family at one stop along the way; the family members ask questions which allow the young man to tell the audience about the HJ and the march.
Behind the now chilling pageantry of this film and the all to notable discipline of its participants is shown the cleverness of NAZI leaders in preparing German youth, both physically and psychologically, for war.

As the older Riefenstahl, Johnson is sometimes the imperiously commanding film director, and, at other times, a likable eccentric abounding in worldly charm.
While the films' degraded quality and the ominously expressionist play of shadows Glenn Fujimura's lights make on the back screen at other points in the production work to counterbalance the sweeping imagery of these clips, we don't ever lose sight of the grandiosity of Riefenstahl's dreams.
