Double cinema trip since @dzyrl is away for the night. Triumph of the Will followed by Dr Strange was an interesting crossover…
One a bombastic glorification of self-appointed superior beings, the other a cinematic masterpiece. 🥁
The thing that struck me about Triumph, easy gags aside, was how much it didn’t focus on Hitler. My cultural highlights reek of it is all aeroplanes and speeches, but there’s as much if not more of party members clearly having a whale of a time.
And a Hitler speech is far less chilling than a tiny child giving a Nazi salute to passing soldiers.
