 Triumph of the Will
This kind of will is related to but not identical to the soldier’s will, the will to fight when necessary or ordered, the will to act remorselessly if need be, to defend what is yours and take what you must.
Will Kane seeks allies and the support of his community, even when he wearily understands that he is all alone.
But neither will I trust those who lack the will to justice, the will to fight if they must, the will to defend, those who snidely declare in advance that they will blow with the least wind and worry more about their own personal purity than the larger obligations of our times.

 Triumph of the Will - Digital Retribution DVD Review
Triumph of the Will aka Triumph des Willens will always be her legacy.
A propaganda film, commissioned by the Nazi Party, Triumph of the Will scarred Riefenstahl’s reputation, after World War 2’s revelation of atrocities, so much so that she regretted ever making it, and did not make a film between 1954 and 2002, due to the criticism and accusation of Nazi sympathizing she received.
Triumph of the Will is a propaganda film, commissioned by Paul Joseph Goebbels, the Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda for the Nazi Party, to show it in the most positive light possible, and to make Adolf Hitler appear to be a messiah for the people of Germany.

Triumph of the Will, however, not only needs an intensive course in history but also a morality transplant.
A brief interlude: Even though it is common to use the word "war" for the slaughter of millions of Vietnamese, I shall use the appropriate terminology: unprovoked and murderous attack.
Independence naturally results in "internal aggression"; and since the Vietnamese were not only aggressing themselves but the United States and the world by choosing to cast a vote in democratic elections, it was only humane (for them and civilisation itself) that they be stopped by a US campaign of slaughter.

With the opening titles, it is clear that Triumph Of The Will was set up to pose as a historical documentation of the NSDAP (Nazi) Party meetings of September 1934, although that could not be further from the truth.
Goebbels also commissioned the shorter Triumph of Victory, shot at the previous year's rally, which was ordered destroyed due to the prominence of Ernst Rohm, the former head of the paramilitary SA who was assassinated under Hitler's command during the "Night of Long Knives" the month prior to the 1934 rally.

Like the fascists it monumentalizes, Triumph of the Will overlooks its own weaknesses--at nearly two hours, the speeches tend to drone on, and the repeated visual motifs are a little over-hypnotic, especially for modern viewers.
There are those who will argue that the film is more Nazi propaganda than a historical document, and while it can't be denied that its purpose was to deify the greatest evil of the 20th century, it also can't be denied that from a simpler perspective it is a masterwork of cinematography and documentary filmmaking.

George Will is peddling a new column about global warming that's just a lame, tired rear-guard set of conservative talking points.
On Sunday, conservative pundit George Will used prime space in the Washington Post and other major papers to suggest that not only is global warming not the result of human activity, but that global warming may not exist at all.
WILL SUGGESTS GLOBAL WARMING MIGHT NOT EXIST: George Will notes that global temperatures have risen about one degree over the last 100 years, but that "might be the margin of error when measuring the planet's temperature." Embarrassingly, the only support Will provides for this statement is a crude analogy.

 The History Place - Triumph of Hitler
Riefenstahl's finished masterpiece, Triumph of the Will, contains many impressive scenes, but perhaps none more powerful than the scene in which Hitler, Himmler, and the new SA leader, Viktor Lutze, walk down a wide aisle in the center of Nuremberg stadium flanked on either side by gigantic formations of Nazis in perfectly aligned columns.
Upon the very first screening of Triumph of the Will in 1936 the Nazis knew they had struck propaganda gold.
The legacy of Triumph of the Will lives on today in the numerous TV documentaries concerning the Nazi era which replay portions of the film in regard to Hitler's early days, or show snippets of euphoric Hitler Youth, or the SS goose-stepping smartly on parade.
