Summary
The Czech government refused to distribute Jiří Trnka’ s short film “The Hand” (1965). Why do you think the film was seen as subversive by the communist government at the time?
The film “The Hand” was seen subversive by the government because it was going aganist them.The message of the film portrayed that no matter what you do or how you try and get away from the “hand” you wont.This was what Jiri Trnka was trying to show people but the government didn’t want them to know this.Due to the fact that if they knew this they might be more open mind and would go against them.So The Czech Government did not approve of it.It would’ve gained alot of exposure and the communism would of been disapproved by people.
