World War II -- Star Wars Style

Post by gdmoore28 »

Here's an interesting take on things. Some of the U-Tube "directors" show a good bit of talent, so that I wonder what impact they could have with sophisticated technology and a decent budget to work with.

Once again,Garry,you have come up with a winner! Thank you.The opening scenes are fromLeni Reifenstahler's classic"Triumph Of The Will".This movie is a must-see for anyone that has an interest in how Hitler got the German people to follow him.It is a classic example of well-made propoganda,and should serve as a lesson to anyone trying to put on any sort of political effort.The lessons have been used ever since,it was so successful.There are parts it is where you actually feel a part of the whole thing.A very powerful movie. ---bil
