Ravenous has a lot of black comedy elements that I missed when I saw it in theaters back in 1999. It's strange what seventeen years can do to your perspective.

One last group to consider is prostitutes, whose experience further demonstrates that the Third Reich did not treat all sexual deviants in a uniform way. Although the Nazis were strictly opposed to prostitutes in theory, their actions were inconsistent. While some prostitutes spent time in concentration camps, others were sent to institutions, and others faced no penalties. Meanwhile, the Nazis tried to restore regulated brothels, even in camps. While at first the history of prostitutes appears…

slaves in the North didn’t work in fields because tobacco wasn’t their main resource as their counterpart in the south. The slaves in New England worked in lumber yards and ship yards, on the docks, onboard ships and servants for the wealthy merchants (Reich, 2011, p. 124). In short, the working conditions in the North were more bearable than the hot dry temperature in the South and planting and picking anything that would grow that their master can make a profit…
free market with strong comments that are a parallel to Robert Reich. With tax rates for the rich at an all time low in history, massive tax breaks and tax loopholes for corporations, the middle class has been ousted from their own government. Bernie Sanders and Reich both understand America is and should be fighting for their waning democracy and the middle class by increasing regulation and taxing corporations.

The Nazi propaganda era was reflective of Leni's major works such as…
