I just watched the last one. I must have missed it, but what is the film (the race) supposed to symbolize? How to escape a PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. takeover? Don't cross railroad tracks? What?

It is kinda creepy, not something that would be filmed today because it would be too traumatic to our sensitive natures.

Something that really struck me is how skinny (and healthy) all the kids looked. Do that today, and if they could even get over/through the fence most kids (and their parents) would roll uncontrolled down the hill and lay in a big heap on the tracks. My skinny, hyperactive 5 year old is the minority in his class. Kinda sad.
