The Broken Jug (This film has been edited for content)

So, the broken jug is definitely not a "Nazi" Film in the purest sense. This, however, does not mean that it wasn't made in such a way as to praise nazi values and to downplay anything suggested by the play which might be controversial. For instance, the idea of a person in a position of power abusing it is not the best story line for a film being released under a totalitarian regime. In response, the Judge is made an example of as a failed leader and an undesirable from the very beginning. In this way instead of causing people to question Hitler's authority they become grateful that their leader is not like the judge. Also the film takes advantage of the judge to show what kind of members of society should be outcast. Essentially, although "The Broken Jug" is not an overtly nazi film, it still falls in line with nazi values.
