A Nazi propaganda film made to promote anti-Semitism among the German people. Newly-shot footage of Jewish neighborhoods in recently-conquered Poland is combined with preexisting film clips and stills to defame the religion and advance Hitler's slurs that its adherents were plotting to undermine European civilization.

A Brilliant Conflict

Robert Joyner

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The great intellect and humanitarian, Josef Goebbels, ordered this documentary to be made in order to explain to everyone in occupied Europe why it's imperative to do SOMETHING about the Jews which were ruining mankind. In other words, it's a hate-filled piece of crap made by a bunch of hateful, bone-headed Nazis. It begins with the presupposition that Jews are evil and using film clips, it spends a little over an hour assaulting the intelligence of the audience with its hateful message. The film's logic is negligible and the film is cringe-worthy. It not only makes antisemitic remarks throughout, it also makes fun of blacks. It's just garbage. Now despite being garbage, I DO recommend seeing the film for its historical significance, as it's a wonderful summary of everything evil about the philosophical underpinnings of the Nazis. Plus, if you ignore history, you don't learn from it. See it and learn.

I refuse to give any stars (still have to give one) for such a work of propaganda which bases on a sick, racist and, yes, ungodly view of mankind and especially the Jewish people that turned into the practice of killing millions of people. In my opinion, there is a limit behind which there is nothing left to appreciate, no matter how "good" something was made technically. The design of the perfect electric chair does not leave me standing in awe, it makes me cry. I give this film only 1 star out of moral reasons. No achievement in any other category can make me spend even a second one. I hereby state that I really meant what is stated above so I have enough lines to make this review valid for IMDb.

I'm surprised that this film is considered "effective".It's mostly just a bunch of narration, over pictures of rather normal looking people, who we're told are all secretly Jewish, secretly taking over, from Germans who are apparently just too stupid to compete against them. Then there's some long gaps with no speaking, for no apparent reason. All sorts of claims are made, with little evidence, and what was there was cherry-picked and brief. It demonizes its subject, but it also insults its intended audience. In form, it's like some high-school student's project.The only interesting part is how animals are cruelly killed for kosher meat (the same process as for halal meat) but you would have to stay awake long enough to get to that part. It is because of this section that I rated the film as highly as I did (and yes, 5 is a high score for this one). It's time to end the long tortured deaths of our food animals.The end does get a bit terrifying if you imagine yourself there, basically stating that the war will lead to the destruction of Jews in Europe, with lots of military imagery.I can't imagine that this thing actually worked as propaganda. Triumph des Willens, this is not.

Having seen "Triumph of the Will," I can only say this movie is ghastly, even measured against the historically low "standards" of the time. Naturally it's all totally fabricated and prejudicial. This is what one would expect of 1930's German propaganda. Unfortunately, the quality of the presentation, itself, is hackneyed and cheap. It's also so blatantly ridiculous that even contemporary Germans must've left the theater holding their noses. In a genre renowned for its base appeal, lack of originality and unapologetic wrong-headedness, this film doesn't even qualify as "bad." It would have to improve significantly to attain that status!
