Very nice movie, which manages to refer to a very special and controversial issue without taking a clear position. The similarities between the two, completely different countries and how they try to prove their superiority by using the protagonist in their interest are terrible. Also terrible is the despair of the protagonist in his attempt to prove that he is not an elephant and to find his right constantly in the film.

RIP Master... Just another good and shocking movie about the totalitarian government of North Korea. i wonder till' when does the North Korean people will be able to live under this type of dictatorship and being manipulated by the government and not knowing about other cultures.

This new film by Ki-Duk Kim, one of the most renowned director/writer in Korea, deals an old motif of divided nations again (after "The Coast Guard" in 2002). As the title implies, Kim sees the South-North division as a big net. A fisherman (Chul-Woo Nam by Seung-Bum Ryoo) was caught in the net, by a probable series of accidents. In both South and North, Chul-Woo is suspected as a spy by bureaucratic or corrupted investigators. One believes in freedom, the other in anti-capitalism. But it soon turns out that they are only the weft and warp of the same big net, from which Chul-Woo is so desperate to escape. The real tragedy of this net lies in that even the kindness inevitably takes part in it, for Chul-Woo whose only ambition is to keep and meet his family. Chul-Woo is a stunning symbol of a way broader types of "net" and "fishes", the political and social distortions in the North and in the South as well. Ryoo's acting was superb. Not very easy a movie to see as other Kim's movies (at least less graphic, though), but another great visualization/symbolization as other Kim's works.
