They both give me the Chills

"Triumph of the Will" was really weird to watch, it honestly was kind of scary to me, how many people were brainwashed. Honestly though, I don't think that the film was intended as propaganda, because at the time, I don't believe anyone knew of his evil intentions, I could be completely wrong though. It was still early before anything had happened, so I think the filmmaker really was trying to capture exactly what was happening how it was. This is why she may have used shots and angles that made Adolf Hitler look all-powerful and mighty, like a savior sent for the German people, because at that time, to the people, that is exactly what he was. The filmmaker was merely trying to capture this exactly how it was, not to try and get people on the Nazi Wagon.

"Night and Fog" on the other hand, was scary in it's own sense, I think anyone that has watched it can figure out why. Because it shows the reality and effects of Hitler's reign, it can really smack the audience across the face. The music an narrator were both very boring and plain to me, I think this was somewhat intentional considering that the movie was offering nothing but the plain facts. The shots were long and drawn out to really let the horrifying images sink in, and to let the audience's imaginations run wild about what was really happening there.

Both of these movies had similar ways that the movie was shot, for example the long drawn out shots. These were both to let the images and impact of the images sink in to the audience's mind. Both were meant to leave different impacts on the audience, but the same technique was used to do this. Overall, I think both of the films were shot very similarly in many ways, but to get across a different point.
