Those huge massed rallies, using imagery based on the triumphs held by the Roman Empire, are scarily impressive. I recently watched some You Tube clips of the Nuremberg Rally and a Youth Rally presided over by Hitler and it sent shivers up my spine.

Hello Annis....In college I had a class that showed the film in it's totality.....and Yes it was so impressive, well done and very SCARY.....I have never seen anything like it.....Leni was very talented and it was a shame that she did not see the what was coming and should have got out that political propaganda arena as soon as possible......the film (if produced) should be really interesting....Everything Ive seen and heard about her is so ostricized and tainted by her Nazi Party experiences that it is hard to look at her objectively....I wonder if the real truth/reason is out there....She is such a mystery.....
