The actual film looks like a satire of a bad student film. It's so incredibly over the top and corny. I struggle to process it not being intentionally bad.
It's heart breaking to remember an entire nation of people suffer under the yoke of this joke of a human being.
- avalys 5y agoI actually thought it was meant to be funny and humanized Kim Jong Un a bit. You may be right that it was not intended that way, though.
- chongli 5y agoIt's hard to humanize a guy who had his own brother assassinated with a chemical weapon and had his uncle executed with an anti-aircraft gun.
- labster 5y agoBased on what I’ve seen in Joseon era dramas, this kind of behavior is pretty close to the norm for kings in Korea.

- ufo 5y agoI wouldn't be surprised if it was all intentionally done like this to get viral on social media. It seems to have worked, it's even on Hacker News!
- nix23 5y agoMaybe...but that's not really how you show strength...but on the other hand maybe he wants to start at Only Fans (with his big rocket/s)...then it would be a genius marketing campaign.
- FabHK 5y agoI doubt it very much. I don't think you appreciate the fervent seriousness with which North Koreans (have to) revere their Kims. There is no room for levity there, and certainly not in the public sphere. I mean, read their official report, and tell me how often you laughed (intentionally!): http://www.pyongyangtimes.com.kp/?bbs=40771 http://www.pyongyangtimes.com.kp/?bbs=40771 http://www.pyongyangtimes.com.kp http://www.pyongyangtimes.com.kp
- ufo 5y agoDo you know if the video was also circulated inside NK? If it was, I guess it would be a strike against the social media theory.
- thematrixturtle 5y agoYes, you can see the logo of DPRK state TV on the top left corner.
- crocal 5y agoHe probably used this template: https://youtu.be/f37K0hIv3zk https://youtu.be/f37K0hIv3zk
- datavirtue 5y agoHe would probably westernize their society if his family wouldn't murder him at the first hint of it.
- kingcharles 5y agoWhat are the film schools like in NK....?
- type0 5y agoThey have very long to go before their version of Leni Riefenstahl
