The story presented in that film was a total scam. People got screwed by Broko...etc.
After you read up on what really went down, you'll look at it in a different way.

I'll still look at it as a film, which is all that it is. I don't judge dramatic works on the basis of how true to factual reality they may be, because I don't have that expectation of them. Films do not, in my opinion, bear the responsibility of educating an audience. My enjoyment, or lack of it as the case may be, is in the art itself.

  Dramatic works?
  In that case they should've named the movie Helen Rozenbaum or Helen Choo. It's the spin machine that turned it up, hoisting her name and people[aka movie-goers] got taken. One can distance himself from Hitler in Olympia and view it as a student of cinema, then again one can't.

  What about Educating Rita ? False promises?

    I really don't think I got "taken" by enjoying the film, and I don't care what the title was. What about Educating Rita? I enjoyed it. Do I think that it is absolutely true to life? No. I don't distance myself from films. I am involved with them and affected by them in many ways, as I am by all art. But, I am affected by the REALITY of Hitler in a much different way. The reason is obvious.

      Good grief, David. It was a joke...

        No offense, Dmitry. Guess I was in a sour mood.
Forget about the validity of the movie.... - Mrs. Piggy 15:01:26 10/04/02 (0)
I can't get past her acting--she is like a big concrete road block.
I find her to be a film destroyer.
