Jennifer Uzhca W8 – Prompt 2

I think that the film was seen as subversive by the communist government because Jiří Trnka’s short film “The Hand” (1965) was an accurate representation of the fear and situations that the people of Czechoslovakia felt during these times. They felt trapped and controlled and if they didn’t listen to what the government was telling them to do, they would end up like the puppet. The government felt as if this film was too much of a threat to raise awareness of what was happening.
