No mention of Kim Jong Uns personal stadium sized led screen? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0kmxTy5L7Rc https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0kmxTy5L7Rc

  Not sure why the continued use of the close ups was used. After the first one showing people holding cards, then maybe a second one to show how they are essentially flipping pages, but after that, the zoomed in totally loses the effect. Same with the close ups of the performers on the field. The point of these types of performances is not of the individual but the whole. It's a perfect bit of symbolism for communism. Why ruin it by showing the individual cogs of the machine?

    > Why ruin it by showing the individual cogs of the machine Because the individual cogs of the machine is quite interesting. Especially if you are interested in how people behave differently in North Korea compared to the free world. Besdies: It's Youtube, I'm sure you can find plenty of videos that aren't zoomed in.

      I know I've spent my entire life wondering if North Koreans hold up cards differently than the rest of the world. It turns out, nope. They hold them the same way as US football fans.

        IMO, it looked like they practiced. I wouldn't expect a football audience to practice.

          the fact that their heads all pop up from behind their cards to look for the next cue at the same time was kind of telling on the rehearsed part. could you imagine asking a stadium full of drunk cheese heads to do this?
