This movie is a replica of a film made in 1969 on the problems created by excessive division of labor. It emphasizes the idea of the worker being separated from his or her final product and not knowing how the product is used for the creation of destructive weapons. The way the characters act reinforces this idea because they almost seem to be robots themselves acting out these parts. They are simply components of a system that produces weapons without their personal involvement towards the final outcome of their work. For this reason, the flat voices work as an indication of their machine-like existence and the inhumane element of their work.
