Hitler's confidante: she deceived the world with "beauty"

Hitler's confidante: Does she use it? Beautiful? Deceived the world

If Hitler deceived the world with lies, what about Rivenstal? Beautiful? Cheated the world. Sontag said sarcastically:? Between truth and justice, I choose truth. Rivesta chose beauty, even if it hurts the world and floods the sky. ?

Hitler's? Confidante?

She is a legend in the history of world movies. When it comes to the history of world movies and documentaries, we can't avoid Raventhal.

Lenny. Rifenstar, born in 1902, died in 2003, with a long life. When she died, there was a heated discussion in China's art and ideological circles, not only because she was a world-famous film director of her great-grandmother, but also because her most outstanding film was made for Nazi totalitarianism.

Riventhal contributed two extraordinary epic film masterpieces to the world film history: Victory of Will and Olympia. Susan, a famous American writer and critic? Sontag published a long review of Fascinating Fascism in the New York Book Review published in 1975, severely criticizing Finstad. This article almost became a criticism? Fascist aesthetics? Classic, but Sontag also has to admit, Rivenstal in the movie? Even the greatest documentary ever? . But Riventhal doesn't care about Sontag? Criticism? , right? Like? And ungrateful, she doesn't care about the rules.

Rifenstar was born in a small factory owner's family in Germany. Her father is strict, stingy and bossy, but she is rebellious by nature and very talented as an artist. Rivesta loved dancing since he was a child, but he broke his leg when he emerged as a film actor. Then he fell into the whirlpool of love triangle because of his extraordinary appearance; Later, she kicked off her two lovers and embarked on the road of directing, directing the movie Blu-ray herself. From the beginning of this film, Riffenstahl had an indissoluble bond with fascism.

Some scenes of this film need to be shot in Italy. When the crew entered Italy, they had to pay customs duties because they brought more than 20 thousand meters of film and film equipment. The financial situation of the "Blu-ray" crew was not comfortable, so Finstad used his quick wits and immediately sent an SOS telegram to Italian Prime Minister Mussolini. After 6 hours, the crew was exempted from customs duties and entered the customs smoothly. The time is 193 1 year, and she is 29 years old.

On March 24th, 1932, "Blu-ray" premiered in Berlin and won the silver prize in Venice Film Festival.

At this time, Germany was at the end of Weimar, and the country was in chaos, governed by the old and groggy President Hindenburg. The Nazi Party (National Socialist German Workers' Party) led by Hitler is a new force in Germany, and Germans are talking about Hitler enthusiastically everywhere. This atmosphere also infected Rivenstal.

One month before the premiere of Blu-ray, Riefenstahl listened to Hitler's speech in Berlin Gymnasium, which made her dizzy. I seem to feel that the earth's surface in front of me slowly unfolds like a half-ball, and suddenly cracks, and a huge water current is ejected from it, which is strong enough to make the water soar into the sky and shake the earth? ,? My mind is completely numb? . Later, she sent a letter to Hitler from the post office:? Dear Mr. Hitler: Not long ago, I took part in a political activity for the first time in my life. After listening to your speech at the Berlin Stadium, I have to admit that I was deeply moved by your enthusiasm and the enthusiasm of the audience on the stadium. I want to meet you in person. I didn't know Hitler had noticed her at this time, not only watching Blu-ray, but even watching all the movies starring her. Hitler summoned her immediately.

Hitler had unparalleled charm for the Germans. I have repeatedly observed the image of Hitler in the film. What is his image? Charm? In my opinion, this is extremely strange. That kind of neurotic behavior not only conquered Rivenstal, but also conquered the whole of Germany. A strong evidence is that Mrs. Goebbels married Goebbels because she fell in love with Hitler, and when she married Goebbels, she could often see her idol.

This is a romantic meeting. Hitler was approachable and quick to respond to Rivenstal? In love? She wanted to hug her from the beginning. Ravenstal wrote in his memoirs:? He found me reluctant and immediately let go, leaned over to me, raised his hands and swore to me. I'm not allowed to fall in love with women until I finish my career. ?

Since then, the relationship between Riefenstahl and Hitler has begun? An affair? Although she refused to admit that she was in love with Hitler, Hitler took it? Confidante? Wait a minute. Rivenstal became Hitler's guest.

Fall into the quagmire of fascism

Fall into the quagmire of fascism

193365438+1On October 30th, Hitler was appointed as German Chancellor by President Hindenburg. The collapse of Weimar Republic marked the nationalization of Nazism. Shortly after Hitler came to power, he invited Riefenstahl to the Reich Chancellery, hoping that she would join * * *:? I want to give you a glorious task. According to your talents, you are sure to be qualified for this job. You know, Mr. Goebbels is now the Minister of Propaganda? You can help him lead the film and art work. ? But Riefenstahl refused this. This does not affect their close cooperation. In August, Hitler invited her to the Chancellery again? Since then, Finstad has been deeply mired in fascism.

The Nazi party will hold its party congress in Nuremberg in September, and invited Rivenstar to film the documentary of the party congress. The meeting was named? Victory of faith? So the name of the movie is also called the victory of faith. The duration of the film is 1 hour, which was released on February 1 day of the same year. This is the first film that Riefenstahl made for the Nazi Party. Although Rivenstal was not very satisfied with the film, it was very popular among the Nazis.

1In August, 934, Rifenstar received another letter from the Nazi Party, inviting her to film a documentary about this year's Party Congress. Although Riefenstahl claimed that she had repeatedly shirked it, Hitler thought that only she had the ability to make this film well? An art documentary? . Hitler paid a lot of money for this film. With unlimited funds, Ravenstar organized a huge film crew with 36 photographers, 170 people. During the 6-day Party Congress, photographers under Ri Finstad wore uniforms of Nazi stormtroopers and filmed 1.3 million meters of film. After five months of editing, they left the world with an epic masterpiece that was praised and criticized by some people for nearly two hours? "Victory of Will", titled? Entrusted by the Fuehrer? . Immediately after the premiere of 1935, Hitler gave Rivesta a beautiful diamond necklace. This magnum opus soon brought a great reputation to Riefenstahl, and she stepped into the ranks of top directors in the world.

Because the Bundeswehr was dissatisfied with the fact that there were too few scenes in Victory of the Will, Rifenstar filmed a short film Freedom Day for the Bundeswehr during the Nazi Party Congress in 1935, which lasted about 20 minutes. Our national defense forces. This is her third film for the Nazis.

We know that Germany is a country with great philosophers: Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer? Even during Nazi rule, there was a famous Heidegger. Faith, will and freedom are the core super words related to human spirit. These epoch-making philosophers, handed down from generation to generation, can't solve the ultimate destination of human spirit. Rivesta declared the end of human spirit with movies: faith, victory; Will, victory; The day of freedom came as scheduled. But just after the release of her last documentary "Olympia" for Hitler, in September 1939, 1, Germany attacked Poland, and World War II broke out in an all-round way.

Of course, this is not to say what kind of crimes Rivenstar has committed, but that she is not only spiritually and secretly connected with Hitler, but also a soul mate: one is to use? Beautiful? Explain totalitarianism, one is the direct embodiment of totalitarianism.

"Olympia" was filmed in 1 1 during the Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany. In view of Riventhal's great influence, the International Olympic Committee invited her. As usual, Ravenstar showed reluctance, but strangely, she was always there? Can't help it? My mood has produced amazing works, and so has Olympia. The Olympic Games is worldwide, but this time it is German. Hitler wants to express his Nazi thought through this Olympic Games: Aryans are the best race in the world. After a year and a half of editing, the film was finally completed, with a total length of about three and a half hours. It was divided into two episodes. The first episode was called "Popular Festival" and the next episode was called "Beautiful Festival". Riefenstahl personally proposed to Hitler that it be released on April 20th, 938. Hitler hesitated and immediately agreed to her proposal? This day happens to be Hitler's birthday. Olympia caused a sensation again, and soon after its release, it toured Europe and America.

Rivenstal's contact with Hitler did not end there. How much did she wish she could fight in World War II? Do something meaningful? , it is formed? A film working group covering the war for the front? . 1June, 940, when Germany occupied Paris, Rivenstar sent a congratulatory message to Hitler. It was not until the late World War II that she saw Hitler for the last time.

It's not hard to see from Ravenstal's resume that she and Hitler can be described as? Too close? It was her association with Hitler that pushed her to the top of her career. After the end of World War II, you can imagine what Rivesta will face. Unexpectedly, the allies conducted a four-year review of her, only entitled? Nazi sympathizers? Be released. It is unimaginable to China people, and it is more than enough to be shot ten times with her experience.

Was it immersed in western culture that saved Rivesta from disaster? Liberalism? Tradition. A writer named Bassam wrote after an interview with Rifenstar. Rivesta firmly believes that artists must be independent of the material world at all costs. In her own life, she gained the freedom to create art, but she paid a heavy price. ?

Indeed, Rifenstar is free: she refused Hitler's emotional invitation, refused Hitler's invitation to join the cabinet, and publicly expressed her boredom with Goebbels' love. Is she older than you? Freedom? Judging from the shooting process, not only are there no similarities? Theme first? 、? Political correctness? Even Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister in charge of ideology, never paid anything in her creative process. Guidance. Besides, Riefenstahl will never accept this. What she presents to us is always a face of perseverance and disdain.

That's true. Freedom? Only when she succeeded in writing, did she inspire her genius imagination and create a colorful chapter full of totalitarianism. Rivenstal said he. Always concerned about beauty? , for? Beautiful? She was desperate. She boasted that every shot came from? Real? Its interpretation is quite unconventional. In Victory of the Will, she changed the narrative language of the documentary to narrative, creatively combined the plane vision three-dimensionally, and immersed the audience in the magnificent historical picture. Documentary at this time? Record? Not anymore? Pure objectivity? Behind every shot, her desire to express herself is engraved. For example, "Victory of Will" begins with Hitler's special plane passing through thick clouds, bypassing the top of Nuremberg Cathedral and landing on the ground like a god; Its military parade scene dwarfed all subsequent military parade films. The film makes people believe that only Hitler can save Germany, and Hitler is the God of Germany. Rivenstal unconsciously sanctified Hitler and passed this? A sense of sacredness? Inspired Nazi consciousness.

Riefenstahl compared Nazi spirit with? Beautiful? The combination is unparalleled, which makes the audience imperceptibly accept her propaganda of Nazism. At that time, a considerable number of German audiences surrendered to the Nazis after watching the films of Rifenstar. If Hitler deceived the world with lies, what about Rivenstal? Beautiful? Cheated the world. Despite this, Rivenstar never admitted that he was shooting a propaganda film and firmly denied that he was a Nazi propagandist. She has not established any official ties with the Nazis, but has been working as an independent artist.

* * * The Prime Minister once quoted Bernard Shaw's famous words? Freedom means responsibility? This statement is very good. As an artist, you can't express yourself freely if you can't have a free mind. Once an artist loses the freedom of creation, no matter how just his works are, they will not come from the artist's heart, but only fiction. However? Freedom? On the other hand, it is madame roland's famous saying in the French Revolution: Freedom, freedom, how many sins are in your name! When Riefenstahl performs her duties as an independent artist, she should ask herself: Freedom? What is the basis? No matter who you are, as long as you are in a totalitarian society, there is no freedom; As long as one person is trapped in totalitarianism, then all people will not be free. Now, Ravenstar is suffering, not because she made four films for Hitler, but because she refused to repent. As a master told himself? Cultural Revolution? Like selective amnesia, Rivesta denies himself? Guilty? Master is faking it? Don't remember? . Only this, it is doomed that he will never reach the height of Rivenstal. ) She always claimed: Don't deny my life just because I worked for Hitler for seven months. ? Sontag said sarcastically:? Between truth and justice, I choose truth. Rivesta chose beauty, even if it hurts the world and floods the sky. ? Rivesta is ashamed of freedom as well as freedom? Beautiful? .

True freedom doesn't come from Rivesta's actions? Independent artist? I agree with her works, but judging from the trial of the allied forces, this trial really inherited the values that liberalism abides by? Intention and behavior are the boundaries between crime and non-crime. Spiritual innocence means the freedom to forgive her. It was the liberal feelings that were completely opposite to fascism that saved Rivesta. Since then, she has continued to defend her rights? Beautiful? * * *, showing it elsewhere is equally dazzling.

?

Although Riefenstahl has achieved supreme status in art, this achievement has become a tragic example. It reminds us that no matter what. Independent? Artists should understand that freedom should not be a tool to succumb to totalitarianism; ? Beautiful? , nor should it be to please totalitarian capital. Under the rule of totalitarianism, there will be no pure art, no pure art? Beautiful? Only by thoroughly curbing the expansion of totalitarianism can artists gain real freedom and art have real life.
