as a korean

If you really look at it as a North Korean, it's the same as the usual movies, but there are still some uncomfortable points.

but

is one of the few Korean directors who does not overplay North Korea's isolation and economic backwardness

However, the two of them went to eat noodles, and the scene of the North Korean gobbling down three bowls of noodles was not very comfortable, although he did not eat anything for several days at that time, and even the hamburger was eaten by the Korean man himself. The North Korean is a high-ranking official in North Korea. I don't know if the Koreans know that as long as they are high-ranking officials regardless of national borders, they can eat spicy food. The narrative narrative gives us the sorrow of a nation and a different country in a different language, but can the director only tell us this truth through this expression? Whose sorrow is this?

There is no self-righteous sense of superiority that is common in the Korean side in this movie. It tells us in a brain-hole way that if a war happens, no government is completely innocent and passive.

I hope North and South will be unified soon.

#The Chinese representative said in the car: Compatriots? Have you ever treated us like compatriots in Korea? If you have money, you call them compatriots. If you don't have money, call them foreigners. Although I'm from Korean ethnicity, I'm 100% Chinese.

As a Korean, I am more grateful to the director for bringing the matter of recognizing how Koreans treat their compatriots to the screen. Although this is not enough to affect the attitude of the Korean people towards their compatriots, it is better than some Korean directors who maliciously vilify the image of their compatriots. The work is so much better

    Seeing such a strong Chinese military attache abroad and strong foreign relations in a Korean film is different from what I saw on the news network. Judging from the Korean films released in recent years, the image of China is constantly changing. The movie handles the action scenes of the major power relations between China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, and the United States to the details.

    Korean filmmakers are the brainchild of the year, but I think that the actual political unfolding in Northeast Asia may be more absurd or accidental than the film. The film tells the story of Kim's No. 1 figure in North Korea who was assassinated by a military coup during an inspection in the Kaesong Industrial Park. After being shot, he was sent to South Korea for treatment by soldiers loyal to him. The latter group prevented a nuclear war in the north after the coup. The whole process was full of laughter, and even the number one person was sent to the obstetrics and gynecology department for rescue. The doctor was a graduate of the Department of Medicine of Yonsei University.
