Characterization/ Dialogue - the character is not to sure of her self. she is not confident and wants to trust someone.
Camera/lighting/editing technique - the shots where mostly static. Simple and long shots. The light was mostly natural and particle. The editing was slow.
Political/ Social Commentary - This was showing a side of everyday life. As where usually there would be a hero who is honorable. Here you see goverment soldiers who are quirky. Not a hero.
Historical Relevance/ Recognition - Communism was prevalent. Almost all movies where propagandist in favor of the government. Here they broke the trend. Now there is a perspective of a person who chases their own wants and values.
Notable Collaboration -
Random fact, Etc. -
1) The girls work just to work. There is no goals or reward system. They work to eat. So it is no surprise that she just left work to run off with a boy.
2) surreal elements. The movie spent a lot of time with the goofy soldiers. The one soldier was asked if he cheated on his wife, he was scared to answer and did not. Also when the parents where arguing when she came over unannounced.
3) Yes. Lots of men are telling and asking her to do this and that, but she does what meets her fancy and drifts away from the social go-to action.
