Hitlers Frauen

This was a semi-decent documentary about Hitler's love interests. I cannot say how much of this documentary is true and how much is made up BS, but content wise I could only give the makers of this documentary one very important tip.

If you're going to be showing your work outside of the Bundesrepubliek, please SUBTITLE the interviews in English! About a third of the show is made up of survivor interviews and all are in German and there are no subtitles or voice-overs. If anything I would have wished to be able to email or somehow communicate this fact to the producers. I would love to fathom what they thought about this issue and what drove them to making a 3rd of the show, totally useless for non-German speakers.

I was very disappointed by this "documentary," and I use the term loosely. At the very least I expected to find an unobjective account of Reifenstahl's career and her role in making films for the third reich. What I found was a biased attempt to discredit her life and career and even flat out say that she is only getting respect now because of her age. It also suggests that she had an affair with Hilter by showing us that he sent her red roses once when her film opened. I found the scripted narration very opinionated as well, which made the whole program feel preachy and like an extremist's newsletter. In my opinion, She is an amazing filmmaker who deservea all recognition the same as all of the American filmmakers who made propagand Roosevelt to boose national morale such as the films promoting the building of TVA.
