one tragedy of film and modern media is that it is so much easier to express fascist and/or reactionary ideas than the complex reality of the world we live in. its so so easy to mislead and engage emotionally with a picture. a picture can make you feel like the world is ending or that a fantasy is real. a movie can make you feel national pride to a fault.

books and writing communicate the underling ideas and complexity of a thousand types of perspectives in ways that are impossible to communicate visually. i guess what I'm trying to say...

a picture is worth 1/1000th of a word.

a picture is 1000 times easier to digest in the way a cigarette ad is easier to digest than an article on lung cancer. a flag feels like it's worth more than a man's arm, an old man's life or a woman's body.

James Jacques Joseph Tissot, Triumph of the will

[boricuacherry-blog]

"We're going to show you a film now, created by Michael Jackson and it is causing a furor around some movie theaters in this country. They say among other things, that it is clearly modeled after Triumph of the Will, by Leni Riefenstahl - a Nazi film, with Nazi imagery -

"That's not true. None of that is true. None of those things are true."

"Did you watch that film before you did it?"

"I watch everything. I love movies, I love documentaries. It had nothing to do with that at all. Absolutely not. It has nothing to do with politics, or communism, or fascism..."

"The critics have said, 'It's the most boldly vainglorious self deification a pop singer ever took with a straight face -

"Good! That's what I wanted.They fell into my trap. I wanted everybody's attention. It's all about love. It's people coming together."

"Well, we're going to clearly agree to disagree."

Great popcorn movie. If the Nazi weltanschauung doesn't get you on the edge of your seat, then Riefenstahl's depiction of the Reich as an unstoppable inevitability will have you raising your arms (maybe just one) in capitulation. As a blueprint for agitprop, TOTW's tricks are still being used today. The visuals work. And, of course, work of this sort will set you free.
