''Schaut auf diese Stadt (Look at This City)'' is an East German film directed by Karl Gass in 1962 in film. It is a subtle propaganda film in which peaceful East Germany depicts West Germany as the forefront to neo-fascism, terrorism, and neo-colonialism. East Germany requires an "anti-fascist defense" against the West Germans. It depicts the city of Berlin following the end of World War II and the struggle between the split between democracy and communism. The film uses authentic footage from newsreels and images from both sides to convey the justification of the resurrection of the Berlin Wall on 13 August 1961. ==Plot== This documentary film takes footage from West Berlin and East Berlin as they try to rebuild their city following the devastation of World War II. The film begins by noting that "This film was made in order for peace," which is ironic because it turns out to be a propaganda film. Karl Gass was contracted to create the film by the German Democratic Republic or GDR. The GDR was a state within the Eastern bloc during the Cold War. The film states that a city street can tell a story. Many street names in West Berlin are named after Americans that freed Germany from fascism. One example of this was Lucius D. Clay who pushed communism to the Eastern borders. The film focuses on the reconstruction of Berlin following World War II. The first order of business was putting the people back to work. Berlin held there first elections in 1946 which created an administration that would implement laws. Government officials in Western Berlin were against the socialization of Berlin and effectively split the city of Berlin in to East and West. However, because of the signing of the Potsdam Agreement, the Soviets had control of Berlin. Therefore, this became a global issue because the USSR and United States of America were trying to implement there spheres of influence on nations. The main point of the film was that Germany was tired of blood shed. If the Berlin Wall could keep the nation from more death, they would be satisfied. Germany was trying to become the strongest military from the beginning of World War I, 1914, until the end of World War II, 1945, and it had taken a toll on the nation. East Germany was content with being apart of the Eastern world as long as war would end. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schaut auf diese Stadt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
