This is a Korean film, so I can't really talk about 100% objectiveness about the political topics in the film. The offices of the North and South Korean Security Divisions, the people's clothing, the buildings and the people's livelihood are all in contrast. But Kim Ki-duk also exposed the drawbacks of a "free" capitalist society through the story of a South Korean prostitute, and the idea of South Korean officials "saving the poor North Koreans" is laughable. At first, I thought the South Korean officials who investigated Nan Zheyu were very disgusting. Later, I found out that after returning to China, the clean "socialist officials" who tortured him to extort confessions and embezzled dollars were even more disgusting. The only bright "bystander" in the film is Nam Cheol-woo's guard in South Korea. In the film, the biggest irony of North Korea is Nam Cheol-woo, an ordinary fisherman who has experienced hardships—the fisherman Nam Cheol-woo who shouted "Long Live the Democratic Republic of Korea" to all the Koreans on the shore before returning to North Korea , Nan Zheyu, who faced his wife's "unwillingness" due to physical and psychological trauma after returning home through difficulties and dangers, did not die in South Korea, but was shot to death in his homeland of Long Live. Finally, I want to add that Kim Ki-duk used Li Douchun's fake spy files to hack another Chinese fraud.
