Shooting and Fucking
are the same thing!

Goebbel's didn't care much for overt propaganda. In his opinion films that were just generally entertaining and appealed to a wide audience but reinforced the values the Nazis thought were important were far better propaganda than a film that just out and out tells you who is bad and who is good and why you should care or some poo poo like that. He preferred narrative films like Hitler Junge Quex (1933, d.p. Konstantin Irmen-Tschet) and Jud Süß (1940, d.p. Bruno Mondi). He particularly liked Jud Süß because it was basically your standard costume drama except the villain was really Jewish so it reinfoced anti-semitism without explicitly coming out and saying "Hey Jews are bad, alright.". I don't think he like Riefenstahl much because she had a vagina but also because he thought her films were too on the nose and obviously Nazi. I mean Triumph of the Will is about 3 hours of dudes in uniforms having a parade occasionally interrupted by Hitler. It's pretty boring.
