Whenever a movie wants to add pathos to a war or crime scene, expect a shot of an abandoned toy, usually a doll or stuffed animal. The more worn and tattered; the greater the impact.<\/p>\n
The toy is supposed to represent the loss of innocence a child has suffered. In scenes depicting the aftermath of war or other disasters, the doll is supposed to say; “kids died here”, without having to show a kid’s body.<\/p>\n
“Something about that doll there on the desolate plain struck a note of terrible sadness in Sister’s heart. Where was the child to whom this doll belonged? Blown away with the wind? Or buried and lying dead under the earth?” \u2014 Robert R.
