Did I miss the significance of that? What was that about?
Btw the shot I’m referring to I believe happens after the courtroom scene and before comrade Legasov is confronted and sentenced by the KGB rep.
I guess it could symbolize loss of innocence for the Soviet Union because of what Legasov revealed. The Mickey Mouse statue stood in the ruins of Pripyat, abandoned, deteriorating. Just my guess.
sharewhen was this?
shareOP already described it. Towards the very end of the final episode, after the trial, Legasov is taken and confined in a green-tiled room. While he waits, we see an exterior shot of a deteriorating Mickey Mouse-type statue: https://i.imgur.com/4iGVrak.png. In the next shot, the KGB deputy chairman arrives to talk to Legasov. I took it to mean the trial was a propagandist show trial that was never really sincere about finding the truth behind the disaster.
