Children of Paradise:
Discussion Questions
 1. Ben McCann argues that this film is an allegory of the
Occupation. What elements of the film function as
Allegory? What elements of the film suggest the
Occupation? What message does the film seem to convey
about these two things?
 2. Another aspect of the film that McCann points to is the
relationship between the theater and the street or life and
art. In what way does this duality function in the film?
What elements of the film suggest theater and which
street? Do these elements blur and intertwine? If so,
where?
 3. Think about space and time in this film. How is each
structured by the film (camerawork and editing)? How
does each function? In what way do space and time
contribute to the themes above?
