The main difference from the version of the fable with a hedgehog is that the contrast in the ancient version is between flight and defence rather than between strategies of flight, as in the cat and fox version.

The > charm of his film is in the quietness and slyness of his earthy comedy, the > wonderful finesse of understatements, the wise and humorous understanding of > primal sex. And it is in the brilliance with which he counterpoints the > casual affairs of his country characters with the realness, the urgency and > significance of those passing trains.
Some German officers had considered Communism in the Soviet Union to be a Jewish plot even before the Third Reich.
