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
