It clearly is choreographed: The workers step up and back from their tasks
almost in unison, there is no interchange between them, no false moves,
pauses or hesitations *and no one is smoking.* Even the actions of the
assembly machines seem to be coordinated!
Nevertheless it is quite amazing and the music lends a somewhat sinister
"Brave New World" feeling especially when you consider that the functions of
most of those men who seem to move like automatons have been supplanted by
real robots.
