Oliver Axer presents a collection of German popular songs from the Nazi era, and makes blackly ironic commentary on the lyrics and jovial mood with a stream-of-consciousness montage of German film clips, cartoons, home movies, and newsreel footage from the 1930s and early '40s . The regime's obsession with good health and fitness is explored, as is a fascination with new technology, and vilification of the Jews. Hitler is represented as a comical guy who loves dogs and children. Zeppelins fill the sky, the trains are on time, the soldiers marching off to war will be home soon to their sweethearts; the Jews are safely identified by stars on their shirts; the whole society is marching loyally in step to its certain, horrific destruction. What emerges from the colorful wreckage is a portrait of how the same tools of popular culture currently used in the US or other free countries can also be used to promote fascist ideologies, via stressing group movement rather than individual thought. What is also startling is how much the fads and obsessions of the Germans in the '30s resemble those of the United States in the '50s. This is a truly worthwhile film, both as a cautionary historical document and a fascinating study of the seductive power of the media.
This is the only Oliver Axer video. Stars also making their debut in this video: Suzanne Benze.

The legendary gung-ho WWII combat film, stars John Wayne as the battle-hardened Sgt. Stryker, a role that would, perhaps more than any other, come to define the actor's iconography. As he begins to hammer an ethnically diverse group of recruits into combat-ready shape, they learn of his notorious toughness, and of the mystery surrounding his demotion. Stryker finds that Pete Conway (John Agar) the son of his late commanding officer, hated his father and hates Stryker for his likeness to the man. After Stryker and his unit have been fighting on Tarawa Atoll, Cpl. Al Thomas (Forrest Tucker) neglects his post, resulting in the death of one man and the wounding ...

Packed with an all-star cast, Diane English's (MURPHY BROWN) contemporary version of THE WOMEN showcases the talents of Annette Bening, Meg Ryan, Jada Pinkett Smith, Candice Bergen, and Debra Messing. Like the 1939 original, the film deals with the relationships among a close-knit group of female friends, who, when their marriages fail and their lives are on the verge of falling apart, turn to each other for support. On the surface, Mary (Ryan) appears the happiest of the bunch, but her life changes instantly when her best friend Sylvia (Bening) discovers that Mary's husband's having an affair. The actresses frequently appear on screen as an ensemble, exhibiting a relaxed, compelling chemistry. The film feels cluttered at times, but perhaps that is fitting considering how much each female character has on her plate with regards to family, work, marriage, and friendship. Eva Mendes appears as the jaw-dropping beauty who is partially to blame for the fallout of Mary's marriage. As Mary's mother and the voice of wisdom, Bergen delivers the film's best lines with sarcasm, wit, and charm.
As in the SEX AND THE CITY movie, the message here seems to be that before finding love with a man, a woman must truly love and know herself. While Mary's high-society social standing enables her to start a fashion line on a whim and makes her self-transformation somewhat easy, female viewers ...

The film is a stylistic departure for director Bryan Singer (X-MEN, X2) and star Tom Cruise, with a screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie (THE USUAL SUSPECTS) and Nathan Alexander that is constructed like a heist film, ...
