Hey all,
I just watched a cool family movie from the DPRK, and I had to share it here because nobody else cared haha.
Personally, it was an incredible experience. First, just by itself it’s a cool and wholesome film about a badass female comrade in the DPRK. Second, it was refreshing to peer into the (albeit scripted) lives of the people. And third, it helped deconstruct my subconscious liberal assumptions about them.
Despite a vastly different culture (e.g. trusting and generous to strangers, coequal friendly workplace management), the movie was accessible and engaging.
No more spoilers, because I genuinely encourage you to watch it (link in the post title).
Have any of you seen DPRK productions before?
Speaking of solidarity, I felt an immense euphoria after hearing about all the cooperation between Cuba, PRC and Venezuela during this period. Plus, all the community workers in Wuhan and Kerala. It’s amazing isn’t it, what just observing solidarity does? I know the word may seem like ‘thoughts and prayers’, but seeing it does wonders for my mental health, especially with all the warmongering crap on social media.
This new anti-imperialist alliance between china and all those you mentioned, + syria, palestine, lots of african countries, and pakistan is really wonderful to see. We’re entering a new era for sure.
