Three of the shots were done in reverse; I've often wondered what Riefenstahl could have accomplished with faster, color film, stedicam and Panavision. One shot is in such slow motion that camera must've been running like an out-of-control locomotive!

My father, Mario Prodan ,(an Italian living in Peking, China) was 'all-china diving champion', but was refused access to these Olympics for not posessing an Italian Fascist Party Card, (something Mussolini made a priority for all Italian participants). Much to his woe, and to that of the Italian Olympic diving team, he was NOT invited! But his father REFUSED to let him 'sign up'

it seems as though the diving nowadays has been perfected more than what it used to be, e.g. the big splashes.

Yes. Back then, it was all about "what you can do while in the air". The landing didn't matter. Now, they scrutinize *everything* - body positioning, toe point, type of dive, entry, and more.

Pretty nice dives back then, but they wouldn't even get average points today, absolutely NO splash on entry is what they are looking for, plus required perfect body positions all the way to entry. Not even one bent toe off! And judges have INSTANT replay today, if any part of it is questioned.

MOST swimmers and divers shave. It's not QUITE as common with divers anymore, but it is still very popular with the swimmers. Less drag = better entries (divers) and less drag (swimmers).

@THESATURNSSC1 you have way less control over the way you enter the water, and you can pike save when doing a hand first entry, causing there to be a lot less splash. Also the dives just look way nicer going hands first.
@Smylesss
4 жыл бұрын
THESATURNSSC1 I think it’s just been the natural progression of the sport, people started trying harder and harder dives and the competition got a lot more intense, which meant that divers needed to make the dives look cleaner and score higher. feet first entry just stopped being popular because they were too hard to “rip” (what divers call it when they get no splash)

@DrAlexisOlson Aye, I'm a diver now and it's amazing how much the sport has changed. The past 30 years saw ridiculous progress, not to mention the 74 years since this film. But without today's Duraflex boards, or being able to rip, these guys couldn't and shouldn't be expected to measure against current divers. Anyway, great film.

In a documentary film class in college, on successive nights, we were required to view both Olympia and Triumph of the Will. Then evaluate each for their documentary vs propoganda effectiveness, as a final exam. Jew or Gentile though a person may be, the absolute genius of these two films is absolute! this diving sequence is particularly spectacular!

is that not the entire purpose of the whole Olympic games? even today. To represent Man, as in predominantly men (male), as beautiful and perfect athletic bodies. I think it is a substitute for the inability of men to display their erections to intimidate, so they compete in sports instead.

No, this camera work is by Leni Riefenstahl. She is the one who created magnificent public-relations films that showed the Nazis as superstars and unbeatable. Look up some more of her work; she did it for the art and I don't think she was even a Nazi.

yea.... I've seen that.... but the changed techniques over the years and equiptment has had to a large degree changed that.....there was a much wider arch of the old springboard divers than witht he modern equiptment... the old wood diving boards (which I'm old enough to say I've dived off of) :) were much more work to get a respons from.. the re worked Durafelx equipment has allowed a greater power with a much smoother technique....

What? A response to one of my few impulse posts to You Tube?! This event was one of my more lasting memories in grad school (mid 1970's). The professor (old by then) had worked in the German film industry and with the director of both movies in his youth. He appropriated copies of the films at the end of the war. Interesting person, history, and class, to say the least.
