Post_04 Balance For this Post, you will begin by reading about an animated stop motion short from Germany titled Balance. After you watch the short, you will post to the Discussions page your interpretation of the underlying subtext of Balance. The Backstory The Cold War began at the end of World War II when the Soviet Union claimed control of several regions of Eastern Europe, including half of Germany. Under Soviet rule, life in East Germany was grim and difficult. In the early 60s, the Russians built a huge wall to divide Berlin, to keep people from escaping to a better life in the West.In 1989, the wall was torn down by the citizens of Berlin, and its destruction was a powerful symbol of the collapse of Soviet control in Eastern Europe.In that same year, German animators Wolfgang and Christoph Lauenstein released a stop-motion short called Balance that would go on to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. This short is powerful in that, while it addresses the impact of repression, it’s subtext (the hidden message within the narrative) can be interpreted in a number of ways. The Prompt for Post_04:Watch Balance at the link below. After viewing Balance, post your response to the following prompt: In your evaluation, what is the underlying message (subtext) of Balance?For example, is this animated short about the potential issues of capitalism (good or bad), or a denouncement of the oppressiveness of totalitarian government rule? This is your interpretation of the film, but you must support your opinion with specific moments from the film’s narrative. Your response to the prompt should be a minimum of 15 sentences in length, with references to at least 3 specific moments in the film that support your opinion. When referring to specific moments in the film, please include the time code at which it occurs. For example, the time code for moment that occurs at one minute and 10 seconds into the film, would be written as 1:10.An example of how a sentence should include the time code would be: The overwhelming desire to possess the box escalates until one man pushes another to his death (3:45).Here is the short film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTGg0Z46Af4
