different things that have made us humans, into who we are today not only as individuals, but as a culture (and sub-cultures). To understand how this works, you need to first look at our biological makeup. From the reading The Threat Within The Triumph, the author discusses the idea of a “caricature”. He says that, “our caricature emphasizes the dramatic and distinctive features of events”, (3). This relates to our bodies nervous system because our nervous system picks and chooses what and how we

Drizelle Baluyot Enervation in “The Triumph of Death” In a perfect world, sickness and death no longer exist. Ideally, there would be wholesome bodies, pure souls, and a transcendence that takes human beings beyond the limits of their imagination. Although Giorgio Aurispa longs for this kind of transcendence, he has found that “life was but a seething mass of impurity” (104). Human beings have managed to find purpose in the midst of life’s endless scheme of enervation through work, religion, responsibility

Triumph of the Will (1935) directed by Leni Riefenstahl, was aimed at an audience of middle and upper class Germans in the 1930’s to get people on board with Hitler and the Nazi’s. The main political comment that was constructed throughout Triumph of the Will was that Hitler is a very powerful leader who united Germany to become a strong nation, which can also be viewed alternatively by a separate audience. The shaping of this was greatly influenced by Germany losing World War I, the country was

plausibly linked to a set of ‘mobilizing passions’ that shape fascist action than to a consistent and fully articulate philosophy.” We can see these “mobilizing passions” being portrayed in the excerpts that we watched in class from The Eternal Jew and Triumph of the Will. These two films are very different, but they show how a group of people can be persuaded to think a certain way. They show two approaches to propaganda that can be equally as effective. This essay will show how these two films support

In the early 1980’s computers were unknown. The only real computers were called mainframe computers and they took up an entire room in size. They used a special code called binary that only worked with 1’s and O’s. All of the data had to be inputted by stretches of tape or by flipping switches. It took people to develop a computer language for the computer to take off. The first language was called Cobal and it was followed by Fortran and Basic. Because of the large size of computers, having one

Triumph of the Will is a 1935 propaganda film directed, written and edited by Leni Riefenstahl. Nazi leader Adolf Hitler ordered the film and participated in its making as an unofficial executive producer. Triumph of the Will follows the 1934 Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg, promoting the narrative of Germany's return as a world power with Hitler as the peoples God-like mesiah. Triumph of the Will was released in 1935 and became a prominent example of propaganda in film history. Though Leni Riefenstahl

century allowed it to be used as a one-way message delivery system to the masses, however the ways in which this has been implemented have varied hugely based on context and political viewpoint. Through consideration of Leni Riefenstahl’s propaganda Triumph of the Will (1935), and Lorentz’s advocacy documentary The River (1938) this essay will analyse the concepts of persuasion, education and propaganda in documentary film, discussing the similarities and differences between these areas. It is worth

The Triumph Stag should have been a world-beater. After all, with its sharp Michelotti-penned lines, four-seater convertible configuration and V8 power, how could it fail? Here was a car that could transport the whole family – with their luggage – in top-down style. It sounded glorious and there was no shortage of go either, thanks to that torquey 3.0-litre powerplant. But as we all know, the Stag did fail, thanks to an array of build-quality issues and indifferent dealers who couldn’t fix the litany
