I really wanted to like it, but it got too much. Mixing all the cute characters, weird surroundings and quirky storyline you and your assistants can think of, and hope for the best finally ran its course. It no longer works.

I got the same feeling when I saw Wes Anderson's Asteroid City. Trying too hard to be quirky got out of hand, it ended up with no story at all. I felt really sad at the end of the movie realizing that I'd never see likes of Rushmore or Tenenbaums again.

I hope Studio Ghibli and Anderson go back to their roots. When you have a good story, you donm't need gimicks. Less IS better.

Korea had been a Chinese subject for thousands of years despite their claim being independent.

After US libereated Korea from Japanese occupasion, they use Korea as a pawn to succeed their agenda, yet Korea was too weak to have a choice. This unfortunate country never had a strong leader until President Park when the country finally turned around using what US confisticated from Japanese businesses whom they kicked out empty handed.

With their single-minded drive to prosperity, these hard-working, devoted people achieved modern day economic miracle, while their counterpart in North Korea got themselves into an opposite situation. It seeme it's a matter of time they'd collapse.

However, it's recent history is rather discouraging. A series of communist sympathizing presidents have been secretly aiding North Korea including the last president. He put his extremely friendly poicy into action, send millions of dollars in aid every year and changed school curriculum teaching all the tragedy are caused by Japanese, not North Korea.

I wish the truth be taught and this documentary gives me a glimps of hope. Because the fact won't change no matter how much lies and propaganda are fabricated.

From the only picture, it looks like a documentary about children's matter such as welfare or education. From the title "Year of the Pig" sounds like a story about national event. From the description, it seems political from not really giving away anything. So I gave it a shot.

In the beginning, a guy says in the line of "catastrophe between economy and ecology" which reduced my interest in half. Then it shows many aspect of life in Estonia like a tourism documentary, and sprinkles with protest scene with various agenda.

All in all, it is a clumsy eco propaganda with very little research. I gave 2 stars just for the effort.
