Hey,
I'm brand new here but wanted to start out by showing one of my most recent video works. This is a video I made by combining footage of our good friend Barack and excerpts from the film "Triumph of the Will" which for those of you who don't know is a 1935 Nazi propaganda film-possibly THE greatest propaganda film ever made. This video is a way to get a discussion going which is why I'm posting it here. Though I'm sure it has been discussed very seriously already, I am convinced Obama is going to change this country into nothing more than a socialist republic before he's done with it, and he is quickly managing to brainwash the majority of our country in the same way Hitler did to Germany. Through the use of propaganda, I wish to do the exact opposite-by drawing parallels between the horror that Hitler was to Germany and the downfall we are experiencing in America today. How do you feel about the use of propaganda to turn the people against our leaders? It has already been done before, Conservatives all over the nation are stepping up and trying their best to show people the scary truths about this administration. I say, keep fueling the fire, keep it going, and don't give up. Because the second we give up, is the second that THEIR propaganda has won us over.
Let me know what you think,

interesting!
I heard somewhere that the original film "Metropolis" was one of Hitler's favorite films, is this true? Seemed the whole thing was about the rejection of modernity and technology.
It was this kind of rejectionism that brought Hitler and other socialists to power all over the world, isn't it?
I also just saw the newer cartoon film "Metropolis" which was better, it showed that the rejection of technology brought the people to tyranny.

Well Hitler was a staunch supporter of everything Metropolis director Fritz Lang produced, Fritz clearly, being German, relates to Hitler on that level. Not sure if the two of them ever met eye to eye though. However, the composer Richard Wagner, whose music I used in the video, was Hitler's favorite composer, and the two of them shared many of the same views-a notion of a "superior race," the belief that Jews are "inferior," must be "cleansed," etc.
Scary what influence film has had on people, but possibly good insight into the power that it wields in the right hands
