Well guys, after seeing The Interview last night, I think its time to hang the North Korean flag back up on its mantle, cause that was some of the racist, degenerate shit I have seen in a LONG time. Here’s the plot:
Basically, the two main characters go to North Korea to assassinate Kim Jong Un. Bear in mind all of the Korean characters have extremely orientalist stereotypical accents and talk-a-like-a-this the entire movie. So, one of the two protagonists meets Kim Jong Un and is convinced by him that what is said about his country is lies, (the starvation, the concentration camps, etc things that actually are lies), they start bonding and one of the two main characters decides he’s not going to kill Kim Jong Un. Then, when he leaves Kim Jong Un, he goes to a local supermarket in Pyongyang and goes to get food he finds out that all of the food in the supermarket is plastic and is only there for tourists to see, and then he realizes how evil North Korea is, and he pledges to embarrass Kim Jong Un on international TV so that his people will realize that he is not actually a god or a deity. Kim Jong Un is interviewed by the main character, and is asked “why don’t you feed your people”, and then he starts spewing a bunch of bullshit statistics like “the UN gave you 200 million in food aid and you spent 800 million nukes this year, KIM!” (that’s actually not true btw the UN imposes food sanctions on the DPRK they don’t give them food aid). After Kim Jong Un is interviewed, he breaks down and starts crying and then because all of the dprk is watching of course, THE NORTH KOREAN PEOPLE REALIZE HE’S NOT ACTUALLY A GOD!!!! GOD’S DON’T CRY!!!! Wow! Amazing. And then the whole country realizes that Kim Jong Un is a totalitarian dictator and not a deity and rises up in “democratic” revolution.
On top of that, the entire movie is drenched in misogyny and jokes about boners and sex. Like when Kim Jong Un hangs out with the main character he brings them to his palace and has a bunch of hookers have sex with him. Oh and there’s also this ultra dramatic scene where Kim Jong Un is talking about why he is a totalitarian dictator, basically because his dad never loved him and he has to blow up the entire world to compensate. Oh and something else, they keep referring to the main character as “Kim”. Another reason why the movie is racist and stupid as fuck, in Korean your surname comes first in the language, addressing someone as “Kim” would be like addressing me as “Merriam”. What a bunch of dumbfucks. You better thank your sorry ass’s North Korea saved you from such a horrible film.
