threat and horror
A woman is subjected to sinister, veiled verbal threats from State Security agents in order to force her to become an informant; one of the agents opens a flick knife, and although he uses it only to cut an apple his actions reinforce the danger the woman faces. In another scene, the woman hesitates over complying with an order and is grabbed roughly by the back of the head, but no further violence occurs.
language
A man makes a rude, dismissive gesture. There is also mild bad language which includes uses of 'crap', 'shit', 'bastard', 'damn' and 'moron'.
A Communist Party official decries the idea of America being a model society and says, "The homeless on the streets, blacks with their hairstyles. And we should listen to them?" Discrimination is not endorsed by the work as a whole. There are undetailed references to striking dock workers being shot. Adult characters smoke cigarettes and cigars.
