Current Events > would you read kim jong ils book on cinema

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Art_of_the_Cinema



considered by some to be the most authoritative work on North Korean filmmaking...

Maybe.

Have you read the book about him kidnapping Shin Sang-ok and Choi Eun-hee? Shit's crazy.

No just because it's going to be incredibly boring, long winded, and bringing in pointless ideology.

I do highly recommend A Kim Jong-il Production though. It's the story of him ordering a South Korean director and actress to be kidnapped and forcing them to film a shitty kaiju movie.

The filming techniques by North Korea at the time were childish at best.

Dammit. Sniped.

The whole every kidnapped foreign woman getting her own private cabin on a lake town and NONE of them speak to each other was scary as fuck.

Maybe. I have a North Korean adventure film waiting to be watched, kind of a Robin Hood thing

Yeah probably not that good a read in itself. Could be interesting in context though.
