Britt's Response for Blog #4

"Triumph of the Will" should be considered a documentary, based on what we saw anyway.  It shows the truth and it is factual.  There was no acting or reenactments only footage of events that occurred. The film is a representation of what happened at the rallies.  Documentaries are made to have a point or an argument.  In "Triumph of the Will" the argument is - Hitler is doing good things, he is a good leader.  That is the argument of the documentary.

People might not want to call "Triumph of the Will" a documentary because most people do not agree with Hitler's concepts so they would not want to agree with the film.  Just because film people might not like the idea behind "Triumph of the Will" does not mean it should be dismissed as a documentary film.  It is an like art piece.  Art is art even if it is Hitler's art.
