Idk i think that scene still fucked kid me up a little lol
No it's the whole movie.
It is the story of an oppressed people, in their desperation they follow a con artist who is only out for himself.
Their uprising and short lived victory, is marked by incompetence and grift.
After being in power for a while, the old regime returns. They kill the leader and ruthlessly crush the now demoralised people.
In the end the old monarchy rules again, the oppressed people are scattered, this culture and way of life vilified, even moreso than in the past.
I think I felt all that when I saw it at 8 or 9 years old, even if I couldn't articulate it.
