This has the greatest song in film history.
Only 3 minutes of glorious leader Kim Jong Il, but the song will stay with me! Only those who dedicate their lives to the party are invited :-))
Perhaps Jim Finn's finest work! I LOVE IT!!!
Awesome.
Basically an ad for the DPRK film industry (which is not without its own irony), featuring clips from Pulgasari and other national classics. Interesting use of chroma key compositing, almost psychedelic but still clearly politicized. We're offered the apparent contradiction of Juche in concentrated form: do the masses make history or does the "Great Man"? It would be easy to parrot racist Western propaganda, but perhaps the answer to this question requires some dialectical reflection. The song is of course a bop.
Fucking USA!
The fucking song.
The song though
boring
Much like driving past a bad wreck on the highway, I could not take my eyes off this.
Weird. Of course, what would we expect from NK.
Weirdest society on Earth ... bar none.
