    "Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency
    "That’s the future of the Democratic Party: providing Republicans with a number of cute (but not that bright) comfort women." - Adam Yoshida, Canada's gift to the world

        They had a clip on NPR this morning where she says that Triumph of the Will shouldn't be considered propaganda by rather "art".
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            TotW was niether propaganda nor art. It was crap.

              Personally, I thought it was rather effective propaganda and art. Art in the support of facism is still art.

                      I agree with Che on TotW. Although "boring" might be more accurate than "crap," actually.
                      All syllogisms have three parts.
                      Therefore this is not a syllogism.

                        I don't know...

                        ToTW is great historical document for showing people just what facism is about, the subjection of the individual to the mob. It is now probably the most effective anti-Nazi propaganda film in existence. It's certainly better than the rash of mawkish Hollywood holocaust films.

                            Haven't seen it but was it really that special?
                            I've seen some photographs she took I think, they looked made for the playgirl.
