Although there is a subjective element of the director, it cannot hide the ugly system of North...

Czech, Russian, German, Latvian, North Korean associates and producers. Originally, it almost became an embarrassing North Korean posed documentary, but fortunately, the later editing retained a little bit of reality. It is daily to sing praises for virtue, and the whole people are in a state of excitement, but are they really happy? The sun shines on everything, but the sun is so hard to see directly. In fact, we are all the same, we are all communist...

2016 #12 HKIFF UA Moko What a terrible living environment, everything is built up, it feels like a scene from a live Hunger Game. The neatness of those people looks more like a robot or an empty body. The last scene is completely obvious How to successfully become a brainwashing machine after going out of school. Think of something happy or a memory? - I don't know. Then read a happy poem?

As soon as a lot of long shots came out, there was a sad string music playing, no matter what the North Korean people were doing, they seemed sad and prompt = = This feeling of the theme first and the North Korean ideology that the director wanted to criticize paradoxically coincided, so that when I saw the long shot I'm waiting for the music to play = = but without the music the audience might fall asleep...

Some scenes are familiar, red scarves, poetry recitation, group radio gymnastics, swearing... It is not easy to make such a documentary under restricted circumstances, and the scene of the little girl crying at the end is meaningful. By the way, the little girl inside is...

The most interesting thing about this documentary is that it retains the directing part of the shooting scene, making the "feature film" part appear fake, and making the whole film appear more real. The avant-garde technique of "exposing the workings of cinema" to destroy the illusion of reality in fictional films has real relevance in this...

I was stunned when I saw half of it, and I saw both North Korea and China. This is a typical "documentary" filmed under the strict supervision of the North Korean government. Even the director is a North Korean official. However, the original production team managed to keep some of the original film and restored the magical "Pyongyang Hollywood" under editing. The country is a film and television base, and the entire street, school, and factory are all extras! So worried the actors have now...

Thank you to the director for taking the risk to bring us the world of North Korea without code and high definition, and also thank China for staying away from that...
