10 Movies That Changed The World Forever

1. Triumph of the Will

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpzCrIxY_Tk The go-to propaganda film for history classes, Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will is another disturbing documentary about a sensitive subject that's nevertheless completely engrossing. It depicts the 1934 Nazi Party Congress in Nuremburg, though uses this as a springboard to essentially exalt Adolf Hitler to an absurd degree, with scenes of him being met by adulating crowds and countless instances of didactic speeches from Hitler's trusted delegates. Though the film was only shown prominently around Germany, it's widely acknowledged that the film helped to build up his stature as a charismatic leader, and implied to the lesser-informed that he was an unquestionable saviour for the country without a whiff of dissent. In many ways an impressive work of filmmaking, there's no mistaking that this work of propaganda nevertheless only helped Hitler's rise to prominence, and every horrifying event that followed.
