Well we all know that the now infamous "column" shots seen in every movie from The Matrix to Equilibrium owe something to Nazi German architecture.

It might be Germanic, but it way predates Nazism. I'm not really an architectural historian. I think a lot of it comes from Greek and Roman arcitecture originally.
