>It is said that the movie was conceived and produced according to the "guidelines" of the U.S. authorities who contended that such movies hurting the dignity of the DPRK supreme leadership and inciting terrorism against it would be used in an effective way as "propaganda against north Korea".
This is what I thought the first time I heard about this movie. I thought that it's either puerile and immature or crafted and malicious (while still being immature). Then again screenwriters have always been desperate for ideas...
- arrrg 12y agoNorth Korea fascinates people in the US and Europe. (North Korea even knows that and uses that to its advantage. Just look at the tours they sell and how much those cost.) In that context it seems like quite the leap to suspect some sort of conspiracy here to get this movie made. Places that fascinate people and get their imagination going will get movies made about them and that’s that. The plot is also quite obvious. What do Americans do with tyrants? They kill them. Wow, what an outlandish trope no one ever thought of before … Make that a comedy and you get this movie. No conspiracy needed at all.
