All of us struggle with layers of the government that are put in place to administer the laws that impact us.
All of us includes those on the highest seats of power.
How do activities in the bureaucracy below the palace level end up in causing so much trouble?
Well, there is this old Russian story about a clerical error that turned into much, much more.
What follows is a movie based on that tale with its music by Prokofiev. Takes about 85 minutes to watch (if the subtitles don't come up automatically, click on the "CC" thing (which you may have to go to YouTube to find).
Of course, the tale of a living man declared dead is part of Catch-22, another work poking at bureaucracy.
