- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: tense and confrontational; themes: conflict between individual freedom and collective safety, industrial progress and its human cost, futurism and technological ambition; style notes: monochrome, high-contrast lighting, wide shots emphasizing scale and industrial design
A large industrial structure under construction is shown across four frames, with smoke or steam rising from it. The transcript contains a heated argument about control, safety, and the right to live as one chooses, with one speaker declaring intent to destroy a gun and make the world safe for men.
“We want to put hands on this in human poolery.” 88:56 · “We mean to destroy that gun!” 89:00 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
