I seriously cannot think of a good title.
The objectives in Night and Fog, and Triumph of the Will, both differ yet also resemble each other because each one wanted the audience to learn something. In Triumph of the Will, it was that they wanted the audience to learn more about Hitler, his relationship to the people, and how much influential power he had not only over his people, but his army as well. In Night and Fog, I feel like the objective was to make the audience learn about what was really going on, what Hitler really was doing. The objectives were a little bit of the same, but the emotions that come about as a result of these two films are completely different. For Triumph of the Will, an audience member watching this when it first came around would probably feel good about Germany. They would feel as though something good is going to come out of this, and they would not have a negative thought about Hitler at all. For Night and Fog, someone watching it when it first came around probably cried. They probably were shocked to discover the truth. I know that even now watching Night and Fog, I felt like it had just recently happened, not 70 or so years ago. The emotions that come from this film are just so overwhelming and depressing. Triumph of the Will, wanted to show people that they did a good job in supporting Hitler, and Night and Fog wants to show people what came from that support.
