There are many similarities and differences between the two opening title sequences, 'Kalendar Prince' and 'Silenced'.
Firstly, both opening title sequences give off a very eery feeling. Both title sequences give off a kidnapping/human trafficking vibe, where there is a man telling girls what to do and if they don't do as told they get punished. In Silenced, the man is ordering girls to clean a house. In Kalendar Prince, there are two men making girls dance. Also, both sequences use a lot of the same camera angles, like mid shots and close ups. Next, in Silenced each of the girls are dressed in black and in Kalendar Prince both girls are wearing the exact same ballerina outfit. Each opening sequence has their girls dressed in the exact same clothes. In addition, there is some sort of male patriarchy theme where the males overrule the females and are in control of them. Finally, both sequences are similar in many different ways because both are about men empowering and torturing women.
There is also a lot of differences to each of the opening sequences. Firstly, in Kalendar Prince the women are threatened by one of the men's guns. If they didn't meet expectation, they would die. In Silenced, the women seem submissive because they are scared of the unknown. Also, in Silenced two of the girls managed to run away from their oppressor whereas in Kalendar Prince the girls did not get away from their oppressors. The editing in Kalendar Prince is a bit more vague and mysterious whereas in Silenced it is easier to pick out what is going on. Finally, there are many differences in each of the opening title sequences.
