Underground

In the film "Underground" the characters focus seems to be maintaining sanity of everyday life while in wartime. Satire and hyperbole are very present in every aspect of the film. Instead of shielding and protecting themselves during the bombings the characters carry on with normal activities such as dancing or eating breakfast. The criminal events of the main characters Blacky and Marko are a large part of the plot what seems to be unusual is their ability to get away with the crimes and not be punished. The film is also very graphic with all the dead animals from the bombings which is really sad. There were a lot of animals involved in the movie. Ivan kept many animals from the zoo and Blacky used a black cat to clean his shoes which could be seen as a symbol of his criminal activity and behavior.The main characters were also unable to trust each other. Blacky had a wife and a girlfriend, Marko eventually stole Blacky's girlfriend. Marko and Blacky also took advantage of the workers making them believe the war was still happening in order to get free labor.
