Munchausen

It is astounding that Goebbel's allowed this film to be shown, and even more fascinating of his allowance of a banned screenwriter to produce this piece under a false name. It is evident that the state of Germany's morale was relatively low. Despite the propaganda pieces in the media pushing German pride, and positive statements at the public, it was clear that no one was buying it. The realization that they had all been 'duped' by the man they called Fuhrer was a devastating conclusion and Goebbel's must have been so distracted that he allowed any piece of film to enter the media to distract the general public. The multiple anti-Nazi themes hiding in the undertones of the film are craftily woven beneath the immediate observance of the film, however it does not take a rocket scientist to understand the message that is clearly being portrayed. It seems as if Germany was in a mess they could not figure out how to clean up as they caused an unecessary war that was soon to be shut down. This makes the strong push of multiple films and various propaganda in Germany between 1940 and 1945 understandable as they were using all different kinds of methods to keep the public distracted.
