1. The two male protagonists, Guo Tieyu, an agent from the north (North Korea), and Guo Zheyu, the chief security officer of the Blue House from the south (South Korea), have the same pronunciation in Korean.
2. Nan Zheyu said this to Bei Tieyu: "The people who split the country do not suffer because of division, but because of those who regard division as a political means."
3. Zheyu in class When talking about the split between the North and the South, he said a very interesting paragraph (to the effect, not the original): (A girl said that we did not gain independence through our own strength) The US nuclear bomb defeated Japan. After the war, we (South Korea) chose to learn from Japan, develop technology and manufacturing, our Samsung is more powerful than Japan's Sony; while the North (North Korea) chose to learn from the United States, build nuclear bombs, and manufacture what the United States uses to defeat Japan.
4. This is a fictional story of the nuclear crisis on the peninsula, with absurd comedy elements. The coup d’etat in North Korea. Character No. 1 was seriously injured in the coup d’état and was sent to the maternity hospital in South Korea by special agents... On the South Korean side, it will soon be. The outgoing president and the incoming president disagreed, and the Blue House did not agree with the U.S.... Everything seemed absurd and full of imagination.
5. However, this fictional story may show a more real sense of reality than news! So, I once again felt that North Korea was too wronged. South Korea filmed "Life and Death", "Taichi Flag Flying" and "Iron Rain"... What about North Korea? Without the right to speak, the world's understanding of it comes from the shaping and imagination of others. More and more images, materials, and speeches about it do not come from itself, and the more outsiders see it, the more they will regard it as a strange beast.
6. North Korea, as the sacrificed and abandoned person in the "trusteeship" relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union with the changing times, may harbor great resentment, but the sunk cost has been sunk, let's look forward. What if a person is faced with such a situation?
7. In today's narrative on the split between the two Koreas, one party is always absent. Just as the international community is pushing for a peaceful solution to the nuclear crisis on the peninsula, the two sides have not actually formed an effective dialogue. From beginning to end, North Korea has only been willing to accept, but it always wants to stand in the position of making demands, and South Korea has not made a real self-voice.
8. Use nationalism to unite the two sides, and democracy to ensure peace, but in the end, it is actually necessary for people of insight within North Korea to make sacrifices to clear some internal obstacles, and then South Korea to further promote this point. I don't really like it, although it's in the context of caring for the people and the country (not the regime).
9. Finally, on how to ensure the continuation of peace, Zheyu's method is very memorable: give half of North Korea's nuclear bombs to South Korea. This is different from the "denuclearization of the peninsula" advocated by the United States. Taking common destruction as the bottom line, and making sure that neither side will cross this bottom line, and then hold a common bargaining chip to check and balance each other. At the same time, South Korea has obtained the possibility of rejecting the United States that it has longed for but never had. The approach given in the movie may be a better solution than the one that the entire international community led by the United States has been promoting for so many years.
10. The wound of division can only be healed from the inside. The two sides are evenly matched to ensure that the wound will not open again to the greatest extent. But in this way, it is necessary to consciously reject the extrusion of external forces, especially the unbalanced extrusion of external forces from one side - in fact, the extrusion of one side can also bring healing, that is, to cover the other side, that is, to liberate through war.
