Mikalkov is attempting to create a metonymy with his daughter, distilling the degrading nation into growing psyche of one of its children.<\/p>\n<p>Although as a piece of art the film was beautiful, I was shocked at Mikalkov\u2019s willingness to use his daughter for public art. Although most of these images weren\u2019t violating privacy, the famous director is still framing and editing an interpretation of his own daughter for a clearly fixed political agenda. He is making the private public for a person who, because of her age, cannot control what her public appearance may be. This is supported by years later Anna stating she felt the film was \u201ca dissection of her private life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I understand that this is a very liberal-minded argument, one that I personally don\u2019t fully agree with. But I was wondering if I could open up this conversation to the class and hear other opinions. Did you find it unethical for Mikalkov to exploit intimate family moments with his daughter to create such a film? Or is this under his providence as a father? Or does that sort of publicizing the private not matter at all?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anna: 6 &#8211; 18 \u00a0was a outstanding documentary film, where Mikalkov was able to use his own daughter as a microcosm to show the impact of a radically changing government, and how political instability and ideology penetrates adolescence. \u00a0There is a literary device called a metonymy, where a part is used to stand in for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":688,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-unit-12-perestroika-and-the-new-russia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/russian-2240-spring-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/russian-2240-spring-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/russian-2240-spring-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/russian-2240-spring-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/688"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/russian-2240-spring-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1102"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/russian-2240-spring-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1102\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/russian-2240-spring-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/russian-2240-spring-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/russian-2240-spring-2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
