At first this movie didn't seem more like a entertainment film than a propaganda film. But towards the end of the film the Soviet propaganda began to some out. At the end of the film when all the Russians are holding the baby and saying that they'll care about it no matter what color of skin the child is. This is definitely a good example of socialist realism and something the powers in the communist would love. I'm also sure these leaders relished the idea of a successful American defecting over to the Soviet Union so she can live a better life. I think the was pretty good by itself and didn't need socialist realism to make it a better movie. In fact it wold have been a better movie if the director left all that stuff out of the film.
