Joseph Goebbels gets a bad rap.
The man was a genius.
One People. One Reich. One Fuhrer.”
Pretty darn catchy. Almost as good as:
Make America Great Again.”
Goebbels’ Ministry of Public Enlightenment (yep, that’s what it was called) produced lots of great movies too. His 1935 film Triumph Of The Will should have won an Oscar. It’s an all-time classic. Goebbels invented new ways of filming (moving cameras, aerial photography, long-focus lenses) and music to inspire the German people into an orgy of violence.
Most Americans, of course, have no idea that Triumph Of The Will was such a ground-breaking film that we blatantly ripped it off in our own propaganda film, Why We Fight.
I know what you’re thinking. That was a long, long time ago. In the modern world, the government would never try to manipulate us like that…
And you’re right. Using intense music, dynamically moving cameras and themes to inspire violence against our enemies wouldn’t work anymore. I’m sure it’s a complete coincidence that the latest Top Gun movie – you know, the one that’s about ultra-brave, all-American pilots dropping a bomb into a tiny target hidden in the mountains of Iran – uses the exact same cinematic formula.
