Simplistic

Hitler Youth Quex vs. Kuhle Wampe is an obvious win for the Nazi party. Alice Hamilton discusses the issue of simplicity as key to the understanding and absorption of new ideas. The Nazi's had the correct idea in keeping their film clear and concise, the key was to be Nazi, the good and wholesome group that would be the worlds future leaders. Wampe is not about a story or even a clear cut set of ideas. Frequent flashes of non-cohesive images quickly fill the screen and the viewer is left with black as if we were supposed to understand what just happened. The communists may have been going for a different approach, however, the technique used in Kuhle Wampe was not nearly as effective in terms of telling a story, portraying ideals, and getting the facts out that their party was the most supreme in comparison to the Nazi's propaganda. Hamilton understood that the need to "train" a child is that they need to understand, how could a child understand a film most adults are still puzzled by?
