documentary about north Korean mass games
Do not expect to see a shocking reality about the life in North Korea. This movie is not about it. Some may perceive it as propaganda. I am pretty sure, that every scene was pre-arranged and approved by the state. It is nevertheless very interesting to see and listen how people think and live in a country we know so little about.
To me there is a huge paradox in the mass games in which the state's ideology "the subordination of the individual's desires to the needs of the collective" directly contrast "to continue the State's policy of self-reliance and independence." So on one side the state is teaching about cooperation, on the other hand it refuses to cooperate internationally.. I think this movie gives a lot to think about various concepts..
