What makes this video interesting is its subversion of 'culture' and
appropriateness by bringing performance to the level of everyday and
ordinary.

What is remarkable in this video is the readiness with
which the passers-by accept the command of the military man without
anger or protest... Military man's absurd indulgence in all this for
'fun'... and resistance offered passively through over enthusiastic participation
and yet partial compliance to the commands.
