I know this may start controversy but it's not oppressed if they don't know they're oppressed. But if being abused then let them free yes, but on the terms of being oppressed then no.
The similarity about a stage and a film interpretation of the above scene is VIEWERS WOULD HAVE TO INFER THE EMOTIONS AND MOTIVATIONS OF BEN AND REGINA.
They do not need to envision the physical description of Ben and Regina nor do they have to imagine the props being used as well as the movements being done because they can actually see the actors and the setting. They need to look beyond the physical appearances of the characters and determine the emotions of the characters by listening to the inflections of their voices as they speak as well as try to look to telling actions that is in direct contrast to the staged scenario.
