For those who ask what is this movie about, it is about us and our childish and deadly belief in political doctrines, east, west alike. The "western" (American) life is chocolate coated but tasteless (money has no taste), while the "eastern" (communist) is a close death-trap-ship full of useless sugar where people play with shi... (what actually communists do). So, why children in the movie? Because they are untouched and they are our hope. They can be talked in with sweets and sex, but in the end they will will reborn (spiritually) and save us. This is why the last scene has the camera moving from the feet upward (or better head ward), sort of seeing Jesus on the cross from down up, coming back to life. This move, actually, needs no dialogs. The images are a language (a sign of a great movie) in itself, and as such the visual movie "speaks" for itself. So, please do not indulge in simple minded acts like being shocked or disgusted, or you name it. Simply, real simply, like a child in the movie, listen to the story with your eyes, mind and soul. Why not 10 stars? Because it is not at the same level as Andrei Rublev.
