I don't believe for a minute that Leni wasn't proud of it. It's a top class historical piece even by todays standards. It's a pity that the host wasn't more lenient in his questioning. He could have gleaned more truth from Leni. Either way, thanks Leni, for a wonderful and stimulating piece of history.
For the full story, form her view point, read her autobiography. I cannot recomend it enough. Also see the new book 'BLITZED' for how and why Swiss pharmaceutical labs produced for the 3rd Reich very strong amphetamines and synthetic heroin. Adolf as a Meth addict!
Ausgezeichnete Reportage über eine ebenso ausgezeichnete, begabte und - im großen Gegensatz zu unserem heutigen 2019 PC und fake news Mief - eine brillante Figur. Die Feststellung von Frau Riefenstahl (16:22), "Na ja, es gibt ein paar Dummköpfe, die sowas sagen. Ich kann nur sagen, das sind ausgesprochen Blöde." Ein herzliches Dankeschön Frau Riefenstahl für diese so treffende Feststellung über den heutigen Scheinstaat "Bundesrepublik" und über deren hinterlistiges und lügnerisches Berliner Regime. Erheblichen Dank Frau Riefenstahl für Ihr hervorragendes wertvolles Werk und Ihr Lebensschaffen und Ruhe nun in Ihrem wohl verdienten Frieden. Ehrfurcht, Horatio Nelson.
I like how the Nazis were totally okay with having a Jewish man direct their film. Then there's Eichmann.... I'm certain that he was over 203% pure Aryan Nord stock.
She is very clearly saying what she has to say in order to not get arrested. What an amazing job she did. Very beautiful footage. Hopefully not the last time we rise as a people and create something so powerful that it frightens the criminals of the world.
Well put 😊 It really is amazing what the Third Reich achieved in just six years. For example, the other day i was reading a book about airports and it mentioned that Berlin-Tempelhof was used as a blueprint for all modern airport terminals, post 1945.
she knew exactly what she was doing when she made these movies. because she had to know how to make an "art" film without damaging her political reputation as "neutral".
by all the bits that were left out, also in the cutting process, she already took her position. where can we see the bits that did not make it into the movie? and why? because people were not cheering?
Leni certainly knew how to show the Nazi vision of itself. Not HER view but theirs of themselves. Pure genius. As Leni said, Hitler agreed to an artful film. As Leni also said, there is not one word of commentary in her “propaganda films”. So, one could interpret as one wished. Does that coincide w the definition of a propaganda film? I think not. My impression? She showed the hysteria of a Germany on the brink of total dissolution. Not Hitler’s intention, certainly.
Certainly. But when I watched it, I didn't find any hysteria whatsoever. Pure discipline, duty and thus, beauty. In order to understand this film better, you'll have to do a lot of reading. Leni was very sympathetic to this cause and so were all intellectuals. I blame her current views on the new German state.
essa senhora Riefenstahl é um notável exemplo de alguém que usou seu conhecimento de uma área(cinema) voltado para o mal.impressionante domínio técnico destinado ao culto do horror nazista!!!.
Pity the interviewer was so full of historical clichés, I think we would have gained a deeper insight into her motivation & her film-making skills if she hadn't felt the need to defend herself all the time. Her complicity & her feeling of guilt or the lack thereof in supporting the rise of the Hitler 'cult' through her film-making could have been tackled at the end of the interview as part of the 'respective' view to her career.
"He was the worst of the lot...the worst!": The standard testimonial of old ex-nazis when it comes to other dead nazis in every documentary on the topic ever made.
Keep living in the cult of dasein there "B1inbeing". Next you're gonna tell me there is no relationship between Heidegger's philosophy and political ethics. She promoted Nazism, she profited off of Nazism and she enjoyed Nazi social circles. She's a Nazi where it counts buddy.
Goebbels' diaries are for real, they were only written by the liar Goebbels... a dwarf with an inferiority-complex like his is very likely to "spice up" his writings to compensate for his shortcomings. so it doesn't surprise me he was just as much of a liar in his diaries as he was a megolomaniac liar in real life.
R I P Leni 💖 Those Bolshevik Liberals of Hate , its the same slime Angle Questions. After the Nice comes the Hate punt? They all Deserve to go to Hell . Liars of 80yrs of Fake Media lies of Hate Speech liberalism of The Zionist Weimar EU RED Bondage of Europeans. They will pay for what they've done . At a Nuremberg Liberal Trial . Can't wait . ⚡⚡
Leni can't say she wasn't a propogandist; she's doing it right here in this video interview. She is trying to change/convince people she was "just" a documentarian, not a propogandist; not a Nazi; not interested in Goebbels; not any type of fascist supporter; was just doing her job; and it goes on and on and on. She was an outstanding director and, more than just I believe, knew exactly what she was doing - propaganda and pro-Nazi Also it's unfathomable that she was not a Nazi supporter.
it's unbelievable how the commentating voice is manipulating...riefenstahl claims that she hadn't been at goebbels home in 1933 and the voice is stating from goebbel's diaries that he "called" her, that he "saw a film" with her...nothing is proving her wrong, just suggesting it.
Sadly, like the example of Riefenstahl, most of the statements made by such contemporary historical figures are distorted or even wrong by the pressure of scholasticism that weighs on them, if they truly omited all truths.
Goebbels' diary is very interessting. In fact, it was released many years after WWII and so has let a lot of people saying and writing they even didnt' participate, were so "pupies" like "it was not me", "I knew nothing" and so all. But many entries in the diary shows it was not the case. Especially the first part of the diary which has been written directly by Goebbels, and which is "less political correct" than the second part!
“To this day, she hasn’t been able to make another film.” After being awarded the Grand Prix for film for Olympiad. Perhaps not films as she would most like, but the films of her swimming at 91 were made under her supervision, & they are of human interest. We are the cowards & worse, vengeful, in not commissioning films from her, as she was arguably the greatest filmmaker that ever lived. Ask Steven Spielberg, who is Jewish. So we cut off our nose to spite her face? Is that intelligent?
Triumph Of The Will was a triumph of film making of its time. Given its promotion of Hitler & the National Socialist German Workers Party it is to be condemned but if we are to judge history in a balanced must we not also condemn the Bolshevik & USSR's participation in leading to the rise of fascism & then supporting its road and rise to power?
Sad to hear this woman deny the obvious. But hey...she's very far from the only one taken in by the Nazi's. She'd have been better off to say, "Yes, I knew and socialized with these people...but I made a mistake."
Goebbels was a fanatical mythomaniac! He’d write what he wished, what he wanted to leave as a self-flattering legacy. I believe her every word rather than one word of Goebbels.
love how it shows her denying it, then cuts to the exact quote from the diary 'saw Leni today, said she'd love to make a film about hitler'... talk about red handed lol... I absolutely call bullshit that she wasn't involved at a very deep level in designing and coordinating these events
You could so much better interviews and so much more truth in history, if you would just cut away the fear of being arrested...Leni kinda always has to explain herself, lie and talk her way out of it...just because we cant forgive, we cant learn properly...
"What to believe"??? It was not in Goebbels interest to lie about something so damn inconsequential for him personally. To all the fanboys in the comments here , you do understand what she says becomes less reliable from these sort of things?
There were such rumours about her and Hitler, that they were lovers. And I have seen Leni herself adress it in one interview. She denied there was anything between them, but she was little bit enigmatic if I remember correctly. Not totally convincing. But i could be wrong.
She must have been friends with the Inner Circle. otherwise she would have been shot for the worst camera work in history at around 9 minutes 20 it's like the cameraman is in midfit as he is filming. if she wasn't giving Goebbels top gobbles she would have been sent to a concentration camp
No matter what you think of Leni, she had talent. At a time where virtually every movie director was a man, she created films. At a time in Germany where women were supposed to stay home and produce babies, she produced art.
What a selfish, arrogant little bitch we've got there. How convenient it is to claim that all she did was "artistic not politic" or "I didn't dream of it in the first place". How easy it is to brush aside the accusations, blaming the deads for all her own wrongs. What kind of mental gymnastics is it to not call yourself a nazi when you worked so hard for the nazis and got so much from them in reward? What would've she been without the nazis who got rid of Germany's greatest filmmakers for her? A nobody. "If I'd known what the film would bring me, I'd never have made it" This quote sums up your life Leni. You made all your decisions with your inconsequential, mediocre little person as your only point of consideration. Well, seems like you bet on the wrong horse. It is an immeasurable pleasure for me to hear her complaints about how the rest of her career was a failure and how much of a pain in the ass it has been for her and she carried that bitterness with her for almost 60 long years. I am very very pleased with it.
"Und woherrrrr stammst du, Kamerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrad?", was für ein pathetischer Schwachsinn... Obwohl, bei dem Herren aus Dresden musste ich dann doch kurz lachen ;-)
What? Hitler allowed a woman to make the most significant National Socialist/German film ever? Hitler...the racist, sexist, bigot, murderous one testicle, pedophile, incestuous, sadistic,masochist, asshole? Huh. How many women were making films in the 1930’s in the USA? Any?
Proof that we are living in the dark ages of Kaliyuga is in that those whose sought a sovereign nation, free from foreign influence (and supremacy ["god's chosen"]), are now endlessly being demonized. Germany for Germans, oh no! That's just being evil and everything you say about living in harmony with nature is absolute insanity!
The last comment in the clip is bullshit. She made several movies after the war, films about tribes in Africa, about marine life, etc. A mere look at Wikipedia will tell you that. The usual seriousness from your favorite MSM when researching these days...

Jodie Foster wanted to make a film about her and act the role some while ago.
I guess Hollywood didn't
Leni was a pioneer and one of the best in cinematography history. She posseses an outstanding place in her field
A true genious.

There is no advantage to her admitting ahe was close to them,look at what they have done to Nazis,I mean really.
Fritz Lang was also offered prolific job by Goebbels, yet he opted out. She could make different choice
he didn't say no...he fled before having to say no...
indianiecworld He was a man.
I like how the Nazis were totally okay with having a Jewish man direct their film. Then there's Eichmann.... I'm certain that he was over 203% pure Aryan Nord stock.
No shame in being National Socialist. Grow a brain and step out of the current intellectual state you so smugly dwell in. Faggot.
Great Film maker
LENI Riefenstahl was impressive!
She is very clearly saying what she has to say in order to not get arrested. What an amazing job she did. Very beautiful footage. Hopefully not the last time we rise as a people and create something so powerful that it frightens the criminals of the world.
You sound very intelligent. You must be an expert in weapons training and war strategy. Good luck to you.

13:15 and forward: She says "No, I had nothing to do with that" but her body language says something else.
She was brilliant but not always honest.
She was a lying Nazi collaborator. medium.com/@jayshams/what-kind-of-antisemite-was-leni-riefenstahl-faeb3bf6900c

Inconsequential
She is a nazi, whether or not she joined the party or called herself a "detached artist". Get real. Marlene Dietrich saw the difference.
Keep living in the cult of dasein there "B1inbeing". Next you're gonna tell me there is no relationship between Heidegger's philosophy and political ethics. She promoted Nazism, she profited off of Nazism and she enjoyed Nazi social circles. She's a Nazi where it counts buddy.
Leni a jewesss, a clever woman, just didn't like her Jewish side, wanted it erased!
so th US profit off nNazism when they steal rocket scientis and plans and send ArmStrong to Mpoon?
The Goebbels Diaries are fake. No surprise that Leni Riefenstahl disagrees with something in them.
Goebbels' diaries are for real, they were only written by the liar Goebbels...
a dwarf with an inferiority-complex like his is very likely to "spice up" his writings to compensate for his shortcomings. so it doesn't surprise me he was just as much of a liar in his diaries as he was a megolomaniac liar in real life.
forget about it, +national idiot europe...
you're not my type. ;-)
The diaries are not fake. They were authenticated and translated by David Irving. However, that doesn't mean Goebbels always told the truth in them.
which is no surprise, he was a prolific liar in "real life" too...
take your own advise, Sam...
it seems to me that you're gravely in need of it.
My favorite: Leni !
Do not be ashamed of who you where leni :(
i don't think she ever was ashamed of who she was...
and she didn't need to be.
hey weren't the commies the greatest criminal organization of mass murderers in the history of human kind?
Osc1llateW1ldly Irrelevant w relation to Nazi SS crimes. Totally different, except for mass murders & pogroms. Still, nothing as cruel as this regime.
kristoff ceyssens She regretted her Nazi connections.

She looks like Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight as the Joker
bib jihbz yes that's it
I knew she look like somebody I know.
Good eyes man
Not exactly a compliment.
Yeah, you might look like that at her age, she was almost 100 when that was filmed.
He said, she said. that's all it boiled down to.
it's unbelievable how the commentating voice is manipulating...riefenstahl claims that she hadn't been at goebbels home in 1933 and the voice is stating from goebbel's diaries that he "called" her, that he "saw a film" with her...nothing is proving her wrong, just suggesting it.

WTf are you babbling on about you German moron
Sam Downer i can tell you are brown
LOL Hey Doven pig shit, WRONG!! I can tell you are brown, like a turd.
Sam Downer yup, youre definitely brown.
Funny the first interview I saw of her was an interview in English in 1934 where she denied being Hitler’s girlfriend.
Goebbels' diary is very interessting. In fact, it was released many years after WWII and so has let a lot of people saying and writing they even didnt' participate, were so "pupies" like "it was not me", "I knew nothing" and so all.

Who cares

It was not in Goebbels interest to lie about something so damn inconsequential for him personally.
To all the fanboys in the comments here , you do understand what she says becomes less reliable from these sort of things?
No doubt she was a good film maker! I don't think she is right telling of Goebbles... that she wanted her to be his mistress...
Times Radio He most definitely did! She asked Hitler to intervene for her. Goebbels was such a fanatic, insane person. And a womaniser par excellence!
@@mckavitt There are rumours about her and Hitler as well. That they were more than friends.
