i cant believe they used a real cow :(

And i had to watch this for Film History 202... Why the cow? Symbolism of massacre of the people?

@BodethIII Because state treats people the same way as peasants treat cattle. That is the crucial point and this is intellectual montage (soviet type of montage).

[BodethIII]

@zigifrojd Ah i see. Pleasant to see intelligent comments on Youtube of all places.
