It was an army, even in the same year. It is difficult not to compare these two films.
Both films consider a system built on humiliation, in both cases there is a disagreement with this state of affairs. The system tries to break the upstart, and against the background, examples of what non-resistance can lead to.
Unlike the lawlessness here is not so sad, and the measures of influence of grandfathers much more restrained and the ending is much brighter, albeit open.
Well shot, and despite the obviously modest budget, everything is served with a sense of sense and arrangement. Despite the Perestroika outside the window, the blacks decided not to escalate, on the contrary, perhaps removed too softly.
