This article discusses the movies October (1927) by Serguei Eisenstein and Grigory Alexandrov, and Triumph of the Will (1935) by Leni Riefenstahl. The text highlights the different connections between these movies, and the political regime of the country in which they were produced. Eisenstein and Alexandrov celebrate the Revolution of 1917, but maintain the narrative tensions over the significance of idols for politics. Riefenstahl restates Nazi ideals and defines his movie as propaganda. The two movies can help with the debates over the concept of Totalitarianism during History lessons.
