Portrayal in Films
The film Hitler: The Rise of Evil contains a scene portraying the passage of the Enabling Act. The portrayal in the film is, however, inaccurate, as the non-Nazi members of the Reichstag, including Vice-Chancellor von Papen, are shown object. In reality, the Act met little resistance, with only the centre-left Social Democratic Party voting against passage.

Famous quotes containing the words portrayal and/or films:
“From the oyster to the eagle, from the swine to the tiger, all animals are to be found in men and each of them exists in some man, sometimes several at the time. Animals are nothing but the portrayal of our virtues and vices made manifest to our eyes, the visible reflections of our souls. God displays them to us to give us food for thought.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
