US poo poo is dumb as gently caress though. Can't go scribbling an Old Glory onto a wall like you can the swastika or hammer and sickle. Except the star used planes and such was pretty rad.

The Interview probably isn't thread-worthy, but I thought this was interesting. There was a big showing in Seoul where a bunch of North Korean defectors and human rights activists got together and watched it. Seems the reviews were very positive all in all. Anyone seen it yet? http://blogs.wsj.com/korearealtime/2015/01/02/the-interview-gets-a-tepid-thumbs-up-at-seoul-screening/

Zeitgueist posted:Yeah it was kinda dumb in any real political sense but vaguely funny. I get making a big mockery of the regime, but you'd think a movie that was intended to get into North Korea and have an influence there wouldn't be as much based in dick jokes, and would be well-researched and pointed. It doesn't sound like the kind of movie that makes you think and leads into a positive perspective, that North Koreans could really get behind.

They were probably really high for the entire creative process when making the film.

I remember some journalist needling some Golden Dawn assholes about their logo, salute and the stockpile of copies of Mein Kampf while they squirmed and pretended that it had absolutely nothing to do with naziism.

It's just another Seth Rogan movie, any high-flown idea is bullshit. It was greenlit because Sony knows people will laff at funny Asian accents.

Defectors love it, and it's going to be balloon dropped on North Korea by defectors, alongside being smuggled in through Chinese routes. People were personally thanking Sony for making it.

You're tripping quote:‘The Interview’ Gets a Tepid Thumbs Up at Seoul Screening quote:At the screening in Seoul, Sokeel Park, director of research and strategy at Liberty in North Korea, a U.S.-based non-government organization that helps North Koreans escape the country, said that while he liked the movie more than he expected, he was also frustrated at the missed opportunities — particularly when so much global attention is focused on North Korea. please keep your CIA drug-addled revolution porn out of the chat thread, thanks

People were personally thanking Sony for making it. Just because defectors might use it doesn't mean that Seth Rogan et al. had any higher purpose they were taking seriously when making it. East Germans found Pink Floyd's playing The Wall by the Berlin Wall inspiring, that doesn't mean that was the goal in writing it. ufarn posted:Warszawa is decent on the subject, not sure whether he has PM.

East Germans found Pink Floyd's playing The Wall by the Berlin Wall inspiring, that doesn't mean that was the goal in writing it. That's likely, but at the same time, it was pretty clear that any high budget Western film like this was going to make it into the Koreas, regardless. Just look at "You Don't Mess With the Zohan." I guess they should have done a better job taking that into context as they were making the film, as it shouldn't have come as any surprise that it was going to be widespread in the region.

I don't quite understand the comparison with "You Don't Mess with the Zohan". And I really don't understand why you were expecting optimized propaganda towards North Koreans from people writing low-brow humor who expect to mostly make their money off of an American audience.

Sure they made it for money, but your implication was that they made it by being racist and stereotypical towards North Koreans. It's clearly not the case. quote:Where is this motherfucking applause? It sure as gently caress wasn't in the article you just posted. Did you try reading it without an agenda? I find that helps. quote:Many were watching the Seth Rogen-James Franco comedy for at least the second time, and the laugh lines generally hit the mark with the audience. But most people in the room were watching it with an eye to how it might be received in North Korea. Absurd Alhazred posted:I don't quite understand the comparison with "You Don't Mess with the Zohan". And I really don't understand why you were expecting optimized propaganda towards North Koreans from people writing low-brow humor who expect to mostly make their money off of an American audience. Because it was pretty popular among Palestinians and Israeli's. And I wasn't expecting "optimized propaganda." Just accuracy and a good overall message. Sounds like the latter was achieved, but not the former. R.
