I agree with your points that there are differences between a documentary and a film. There are a lot of films from the German POV especially from Germany but there is a lot of postwar Editorizing with the scripts with politically correct agendas with the 'commercial stuff'. It's like there is formula that they use. Of the list you post (I recognize most but not all) the ones I recognize I consider all deliberately influenced by post-war culture.
First movie coming to my mind TROY (2004) lol Every action/intentions of the characters are hilariously modern from Helen to Hektor and Achilles. Also some kind of war movie if you want so or at least a movie about a famous war (I don't think the movie follows any historian agenda nor mythology at all). Now it's just a fun aesthetic movie to watch.
QuoteWith rare exceptions they largely conformed to the expectations of the society & state that they served. And they did so thinking that they were the good guys. I think the irony is that the real German soldier was closer to Nazi propaganda newsreels than the actors in their war films.
In a way they are in a confused position, and to me they have a lot of kinship with the American soldier, who also falsely believed that they were the 'good guys' and also served incompetent and criminal regimes & committed vast war crimes while maintaining professionalism and bravery, and self sacrifice.
That's the crux of the matter, isn't it? For generations to come, we wonder how the hell did these terrible events even happen and how managed those "leaders" people not only to follow them but to carry out such terrible deeds? There was this experiment -I think of a US teacher called THE WAVE from 1981- showing his students how easily our species can be fooled even with all the knowledge of WWII. You probably heard of it:

I mean we still live in a time of wars. Less have changed for the better, some would claim we are moving backwards right now.
QuoteIs there any film in your wikipedia link that is like this?
I really can't say. I haven't seen most of them, and if I have, it was in school a long time ago, as some kind of learning experience that I barely remember because I had no interest in it at all.

These are the most popular songs on Taylor's youtube channel. At 57.8 million subs it's one of the biggest in the world.
Like her previous albums in recent years, song after song is about relationship trauma. Pretty depressing. This album is even more depressing and low energy than the other ones.
I think for me the most fascinating thing about her is how her (mostly medicore) songs aka her dating life make such cultural impact on mostly everything in almost every generation.
I mean she literally shaked the whole football nation with dating one of them LOL It was almost funny to see her turn this serious billion-dollar men's club into her circus arena.
