Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen to evaluate this article because it is a film related to the topic of German cinema, and more importantly it is a film made in the Soviet occupation of East Germany. This film as the article suggests could have been used as Soviet propaganda to suppress the population of east Germany. I did not expect a lot of information to be written on this subject since it is such a niche topic and as soon as I pressed on this article my initial reaction was that of an already held expectation. As I expected, the film did not have much information written about it and there is very few references but I was surprised that the references provided were as scholarly as they were.

Evaluate the article
The lead section of this article does a good job at explaining what the film is and how it was used in the real world but doesn't give a good synopsis of the plot of the film. It gives a very brief synopsis of the plot but other than that the lead does a good job. The article is well written and has a good writing tone over the film but the last sentence about the film is very vague and doesn't really tell you if the film was unsuccessful or if the film used as propaganda was unsuccessful. the wording is just very vague. Other than that, the article is very well written. The sources provided, although not many are very scholarly and come from two books dedicated to this time period. Overall, for the article does a good job of explaining the film, its cast and where information of the film was found but the article itself is very bleak and lacks a good amount of information. I believe this article could be expanded on and given more details.
