Really simplistic Soviet propaganda film. The Paul Robeson soundtrack is great, but I don't know about the tribute to Lenin at the end. Yes, racism is bad, but this cartoon's message isn't very enlightening.
Unsparing!
What a comparison
The message certainly isn't subtle in this animated Russian artifact, which functions as a stern Soviet-style scolding of American race relations. Yet despite its heavy handedness, there's something utterly appealing in the dreamlike, disjointed animation and the soulful, melancholy song is a perfect match for the weighty subject matter. Highly recommended and definitely worth two and a half minutes of your time.
Brother.
Technological animation was enjoyable. Purpose of the movie was over my paygrade. I would take a wild guess and say that since badmouthing the Soviet Gov at the time was not encourage the writer was using the american black slave thing be a proxy for a veiled complaint about the Russian worker.
