Within this 4 minute clip a youtuber analyses a short film called 2+2=5 directed by Babak Anvari made in 2011 then released online in 2013. He starts with a short synopsis of the whole story which he goes into the deeper level of meaning that the films message is trying to explain as it represents the domination of authority and how it subliminally shows authorities of war within the short film and their roles within their authority, as well as the main message which you can get from it is that the higher authority try to manipulate the lower society by forcing them believe what they want them to think such as changing their knowledge from 4 to 5 which as in society if information was to be changed then the majority would rebel for justice as in the human race we find it hard to accept changes once we already have the facts. He then goes into the detail of the set and how it adds to the message that the director is trying to express as the walls are grey and dull thus making them look like prison walls creating the personas of venerability then the character build up creates a man of high authority and scares the audience due to his power that has been created, as once the rebel student begins to rebel the audience feels scared for him due to they know he won't back down any of his power to a student. He then goes onto explain how the reason in which why the film is so successful is due to the message expressing the problems in social conduct and putting them into a relatable place for the audience so that it is easier for them to engage themselves and relate to the story which i also agree with.
