The wild horse, the power to run away

Rating: 8/10 (24 April 2020)

The subject of the film is a satire on the Cold War and nuclear deterrence strategies. But the film also contains many small themes, such as the destruction caused by uncontrolled power. In the film, the direct cause of the disaster came from a brain storm in General Ruipi. But the reason why his crazy plan was able to proceed smoothly was because he cut off all channels that could control and supervise his orders. He made his orders only from top to bottom, without horizontal checks and balances. From this, his madness was realized by the absolute power in his hands. And this one-way vertical power distribution has always been the traditional art of socialist countries. When a level of power is concentrated at one point, those in power at that point can easily deceive and conceal it, and this is often one of the main factors that cause the occurrence of disasters or the expansion of damage.
