Weekend Dad & Daughter Documentary Time: The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl

Movie watch time: 9/5/2011 afternoon

Dad's questions

Q: What are you going to say about Leni?

Vania: She is a great lady with successful career.

Q: Why do you say her career is successful by knowing that she was forced to be out of her career after the second world war?

Vania: She had already made great films. Moreover, she became a great photographer afterward. Even after her 70s, she started shooting pictures under the sea. She had a blossom life.

Q: Was Leni bad because of her relationship to the Nazi party?

Vania: It is hard to say. Few people can resist the pressure from Hitler at the time, don't they?

Q: what is your rating of the movie?

Vania: 10/10

Q: Wow, you think the documentary is perfect! Why is the movie so impressive?

Vania: The director collected much information that tells the entire life of a great lady. The film is well paced in its story. Very impressive.


Daughter's questions

Q: How do you feel about the movie?

Dad: I only give it 7/10 because I felt the director himself did not have a focused theme in the movie. It is a well-written narrative, but without the soul. Leni did have a great life, and it was both wonderful and horrible. Unfortunately, however, the director had not been able to deliver this theme to me, at least.
