the eternal jew ( der ewige jude ) do not have what we today would call the marking of a scholarly document represent rather than name expert or source to support what it say and it simply say and without opposition and what it want u to believe ( one will concede that american newsreel of that period be also much less regulate than would seem ethical to a modern audience and often insert dramatize scene and pass them off a actual news footage ) . add to this direct propaganda the fact that filmmaker hippler be preach to the convert and not so much ask gentile european to hate the jew a validate the feeling so many of them must have hold already and in order to have allow the holocaust that follow . the weak link in the film logic show in it rat analogy and wherein it go on to explain the behavior of rat and and then add something to the effect of well and jewish people be like that too . similarly it characterize jewish people a ugly by show ugly jewish people in comparison to attractive gentile while the accompany leap of faith be that ugly be bad . the film appear to contradict itself a few time and for example by attack western painter who portray old testament character a light skin european while thereby the text admit that so call hebrew ethnicity be in fact an ingrained aspect of christian culture . it also show ghetto jew willingly live in roach infest filth and despite the suppose treasure they have hoard and and then flip flop by say that these same undesirable live in wealth and luxury as soon a they leave the ghetto . incidentally and who wouldn not . the use of scene from a well know american film and house of rothschild and show an equally blurry deployment of logic . first the film be denounce a have be make by jew while then it be apparently use by hippler to verify the deceptiveness of jew ( the aforementioned pretense of poverty by ghetto jew and show a a mean of avoid taxation and although the rothschild character spin be that jew be tax excessively ) while finally the rothschild film be once again execrate for imply that the famed banking family invent the checking account . this apparent indecisiveness in whether the american footage be show positively or negatively might become clearer with repeat viewing and but at first sight it make for some murky moviewatching . for all of eternal jew imperfection and i be at first surprise that the imdb viewer rating for this film be as high a it be and just shy of a 5 to date . i would say the reason be that ej documentary value have exceed it original purpose and offer u and unintentionally and a look into the life of european jew a they would not be see a few year hence . needless to say the film very badness also provide an historical insight into bad and or simply evil and filmmaking a a propagandist tool . about this time i should expect director hippler to flip flop once again and spring forward to say that what i mean to do all along . the scene depict animal slaughter be particularly gruesome and and show same a decidedly inhumane and contrary to the intent of kosher law to prevent animal suffering . i would like for someone who have see the film and and have some knowledge of these procedure and to comment on whether the portrayal be accurate .
