Look at the men, Goebbels.
:08:07
Geometry.
Classic lines.

:08:14
Nothing is more
important to me

:08:16
than the preservation
of these images.

:08:21
Power. Order.
:08:23
Solemnity.
:08:24
You know what l like most?
:08:26
Your decision to break
the formation

:08:29
here and here.
:08:31
Not only does it
serve the composition,

:08:34
but it gives the impression
of the Cross.

:08:38
Hmmm. The Messiah theme.
:08:45
Here it is.
:08:48
Do you think l should have
walked down the aisle alone?

:08:52
That's an interesting question.
:08:54
My instinct was that
a loner would be viewed

:08:57
- as less trustworthy.
- Goebbels: Hmmm.

:09:00
Hitler: Better to be surrounded
by faithful lieutenants.

:09:03
Goebbels:
Yes... l think so.

:09:06
Those men, Goebbels,
:09:09
what are they thinking?
:09:12
A person wants to be a part
of something beyond his...

:09:16
small self.
:09:18
To escape.
:09:20
To be lost
:09:22
in a historic moment.
:09:24
l wonder if their feet hurt.
:09:27
You organized the people
on a whole new basis.

:09:30
By invoking
Aryan superiority,

:09:34
you enabled us
to transcend regional

:09:36
and religious rivalries,
:09:38
even trivial issues
of gender,

:09:42
age, class distinctions.
:09:44
l created a great
circulation of energy,

:09:48
self-replicating,
self-reaffirming.

:09:51
My God!
