North Korea No Laughs?
We all know comedian actors, Seth Rogen and James Franco. Their upcoming movie, "The Interview" (which is coming to theaters December 25th), is about two talk show hosts who've been chosen to interview Kim Jong Un, with the CIA's intention of "taking him out". The movie itself is suppose to be a comical enjoyment, but it appears as though North Korea had not found it as even laughable. Sony Entertainment was hacked over the long Thanksgiving weekend by the "GOP" or the "Guardians of Peace"; this group leaked the movies "Fury", the remake of "Annie", "To Write Love on Her Arms", "Mr. Turner", and "Still Alice". The FBI believes that this is North Korea's "cyber-attack" on the industry for creating a film about the demise of their leader. Personally, this is ridiculous. Entertainment studios consistently create movies about what's gone on in our history-past or present. There's "Red Dawn", about the invasion of America by North Korea, and you don't see us having a little hissy fit over the fact that there's a movie about a North Korean invasion. When it comes to movies like these, it's all about the content and the money. People will be creating movies that peak the interest of the audience."The Interview" is one of those movies. But to hack into an entertainment studio's computers and leak their movies is just ridiculous. I don't see any gain from that other than the very happy pirate-ers that download these movies. To be completely honest, the movie looks beyond funny and does not seem to harsh the image of Kim Jong Un. It's more of a comedy on the fact that the two television hosts have no idea how to complete a CIA mission.

I agree with you! Movies are made for the entertainment of the people not to offend.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy how far North Korea will go to defend their leader because of the amount of brainwashing that goes on over there.
