Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph Of The Will": Documentaries And Objectivity
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. Documentaries are often assumed to be objective renderings of reality, yet they invariably offer a specific point of view. This point is clearly illustrated in Leni Riefenstahl's film Triumph of the Will, one of the most morally and legally controversial documentaries ever made. Chronicling the 1934 session of Nazi Party Congress, Triumph of the Will has long been interpreted as propaganda for Hitler's reign, which caused it to be banned for more than three decades. Riefenstahl, who was commissioned by Hitler to cover the events, captured such power and intimidation that her film was feared by all who experienced it, inasmuch as it presented myriad issues that could not easily be dismissed. For example, was Triumph of the Will truly Nazi propaganda or rather a propaganda film given life by a non-Nazi woman? Indeed, the line was thin with regard to the underlying objective, an element that more than angered hierarchical Nazi propagandists. No additional sources cited.

Maus & Schinder's List
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that contrasts and compares Art Spiegelman's Maus (volumes I and II) and Steven Spielberg's film Schindler's List, which are both visually representations of the Holocaust. In both cases, the creators of these works employ the specific properties of their medium to better convey their personal vision of the meaning and reality of the horrors of genocide. Spiegelman's visual form is the graphic novel (the generic term of "comic book" seems hardly applicable). He employs text (often in the form of "bubbles" that show what characters think of say), but in addition to images, dialogue boxes and commentary, there are also maps of Poland and the camps, diagrams of hideouts, and real photographs from Spiegelman's family album. Spielberg, of course, employs cinematic tools, using sight, color, sound, music and visual effects to convey his personal sense of the tragedy. No additional sources cited.
