Jawohl, Herr Doktor. In fact, I giggled maniacally about it for almost a minute.
Yes
Yes. In fact it seems more like a cliche headline than something clever, because the reference is so very obvious.
Good Lord, yes!
Yes.
Yes, though I’d have to look up what exactly what The Triumph of the Will was, i just remembered it was related to the Nazis.
Yes.
Ja
Yep.
A better title would have been:
Will Smith Does Nazi Anything Wrong With His Statement.

I would appreciate it if you would post a simple “Yes” or “No” so that I can get some idea of how successful its use was. Thank you.

Yes, I got it, and I think it’s pretty witty. 
Leni Riefenstahl
Yes, immediately.
I don’t get why magazines and news media are still harping on this. Will Smith did not praise Hitler. His entire quote, in context, was just him saying that he felt everyone was basically a “good” person. In the case of Hitler, he felt that Hitler probably didn’t consider himself evil.
In essence, the Anti-Def League and a lot of others have been pitting Will for having the same basic belief in humanity that Anne Frank is celebrated for.
Moving thread from IMHO to Cafe Society.

This week’s **Entertainment ** has a brief note about Will Smith settling with a newspaper that had said he had praised Adolf Hitler. The story is illustrated with a picture of Smith which has the title Triumph of the Will Smith. I am curious to know how many SDMBers got the allusion. I would appreciate it if you would post a simple “Yes” or “No” so that I can get some idea of how successful its use was. Thank you.

I’ll put this is a spoiler box for those who want to answer first:
There was a famous Nazi propaganda film called (in English) “Triumph of the Will.” Very influential film which you can see here. George Lucas, as just one of many examples, borrowed from it for the final scene in Star Wars.

I got it, but apparently the wrong way. I thought it was a Nietzsche reference.
Nope.
Nope.
