![]() ![]() So if you decry films like "The Birth of a Nation" with its heroes, the Klu-Klux-Klan, or "The Triumph of the Will" that showed a Nazi rally as glorious and beautiful, then this is one you should also decry. This film added to and promoted an effort that murdered Millions, and set up a system of communes that didn't work even brought starvation to many. In this age of political correctness, it is fashionable to say that no matter how good a film may be artistically, if it is ethically flawed, then it should be shunned. Many have praised the film for its "innovation", however, a brief survey of the American comedy films shows that this is not true. Obviously shot on a low budget, it does not have the same production values that were current with American comedies of the same era. It makes use of some of the innovative techniques that were developed in American comedies to add interest to the film. This film is better than the average propaganda film. The Communists eventually crushed this opposition by murdering thousands, but that, is omitted from this film. So we have this piece of propaganda to convince the people that collectivism is the best way. ![]() They did alright in the cities, but in the country, where they wanted to have collectives, they met great opposition. Back in the day, Communists had a lot of trouble with their own people. ![]()
