The 1936 Olympics

[k0nsl]

This is the 1936 Olympics movie by famed actress, producer and director, Leni Riefenstahl. It was in my opinion the best and fairest Olympics in modern times. I am usually not very interested in watching the Olympics of today, but the 1936 Olympics is something special, its simply amazing, and the film is amazing for its time, having been made over sixty years ago with such good quality and some interesting film effects.

I don't think its a film many people have seen, it seems to have been deliberately "forgotten".

Part one: Fest der Volker [Festival of the People]
Part two: Fest der Schonheit [Festival of Beauty]

English version

Produced at the behest of the International Olympics Committee (IOC), Leni Riefenstahl's film of the 11th Olympic Games which took place in Berlin from August 1st to August 16th, 1936, has won numerous awards and is widely considered by film critics to be the greatest sports documentary ever made, also often included in critics' lists of the top 100 films (of any genre) of the 20th century. Although usually referred to alongside Triumph des Willens as a "Nazi propaganda" film made for Hitler, it was in fact commissioned by the International Olympics Committee, and with its multi-national themes and its celebrations of the athletic successes of peoples from all nations and all races, it could easily be argued that this is, indeed, perhaps the greatest anti-Nazi propaganda film ever made.

You need a bitorrent application to download this file. I suggest Azureus for this task: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

I'm sure there's some better application out there, but Azureus is the one I have been accustomed to and I like it, even though its in Java.
