An example of the profound relationship between words and images in the service of storytelling where neither the words nor the pictures alone give any indication as being elements of the particular story being told. This technique is and has been used most frequently and effectively by mass media to affect a perception in the audience that does not actually follow from the elements presented: an exceedingly pernicious technique employed for the purpose of propagandizing to the massmind.
This film is worth studying by film makers who appreciate experimental craftsmanship in the service of manifesting unique perspectives that perhaps provoke deeper thought in the audience that appreciates such things.
