In the movie Danton, when the little kid recites the doctrine of the revolution, Robespierre realizes that the blood shed, and terror is now being imprinted into the children. This scene shows us the ultimate failure of the revolution. Danton shows us the underside of a revolution that tries to right the wrongs of the current reign, however their extreme violence eventually led to an unstoppable downward spiral which eventually ended with the members who were responsible dead. This shows the idealized rights of the revolution failing when the revolution violates the rights that it tries to enforce.
