「G-Men Arrest the Sycamores」を読み解く

What's really going on

The raid is the film's joke about how the powerful see the harmless. Ed is not a revolutionary; he simply loves to print, as he keeps insisting — "I just like to print, that's all" — but a slogan in a candy box becomes evidence of a plot. The agents find gunpowder in the cellar, which Paul uses for fireworks, and conclude, "There's enough gunpowder down there to blow up the town." The rich Kirbys, caught visiting, discover they are not above the law either, and the chief's blanket order — "Everybody in this house is under arrest" — treats banker and bohemian exactly alike. The scene laughs at paranoia while letting the family needle the men who hold the handcuffs.

Theme

PowerAgents arrest a harmless family on a whim, and the visiting bankers find wealth earns them no immunity.
AbsurdityA printing hobby and a cellar of fireworks are mistaken for revolution, and the raid collapses into chaos.

There's enough gunpowder down there to blow up the town.

The agent's alarming report about Paul's store of gunpowder, which is really just material for fireworks.

It's just like a play, isn't it?

A family member's amused reaction to the raid, watching the arrest as if it were a scene on a stage.

This is outrageous. Do you realize who I am?

Mr. Kirby's protest: he expects his wealth and name to command respect, and the agents do not care.

このシーンについての質問

Why does the government raid the Sycamore house?

Because of Ed's printing. Agents find his pamphlets with lines like "Watch for the Revolution" and Paul's gunpowder in the cellar, and decide the family is dangerous.

Is Ed really a revolutionary?

No. He just loves his printing press and will print anything that interests him; he keeps saying he did not mean anything by it.

Who gets arrested in the raid?

Everybody in the house, including the visiting Kirbys, under the blanket order that "everybody in this house is under arrest."

Why is there gunpowder in the cellar?

Paul Sycamore makes fireworks down there as a hobby, which is why the agents overreact and talk about the town being blown up.

Who is Kolenkhov, and why do the agents question him?

Essie's Russian ballet teacher. When asked his name and origin, he answers "Beton Batopevitch Kolenkhov" and "Omsk," which makes him look suspicious to the agents.
