    HISTORIC EVENTS PRESENTED IN THE MOVIE:
    The battle of Jiansanfeng 1937:

    Pyongyang before the Liberation:
    After foreign powers had concluded unequal treaties with the Korean government in the second half of the 19th century, capitalists from Japan, Europe, and the USA came to Pyongyang, as well as other Korean cities, in search of concessions and commercial gain. In 1899, Pyongyang was opened to foreign trade. In the early 20th century a number of industrial enterprises, chiefly Japanese, were established here for the processing of agricultural raw materials. By 1942, Pyongyang's population had grown to 388,000, as contrasted with 30,000 at the beginning of the century. The city became the center of the national liberation and labor movements. An armed uprising broke out in 1919 under the influence of the Great October Socialist Revolution in Russia, demonstrations were held (June 1926), and strikes occurred (the 1930 strike struggle). During the Korean War Pyongyang was heavily damaged. After the termination of military operations, the city was rebuilt and modernized through the efforts of the Korean people, assisted by the socialist countries.
    Repatriation of Koreans in Japan (1959-1984)
    North Korean-sponsored repatriation programme with support of the Chōsen Sōren (The General Association of Korean Residents in Japan) officially began in 1959. In April 1959, Gorō Terao (寺尾 五郎 Terao Gorō), a political activist of the Japanese Communist Party, published a book "North of the 38th parallel" (38度線の北), in which he idolized North Korea for its rapid development and humanitarianism; numbers of returnees skyrocketed. The Japanese government was in favour of repatriation not only as a way to reduce the number of welfare or other public assistance recipients in a time of economic difficulty, but also as a way to rid the country of ethnic minority residents regarded as incompatible with Japanese culture.

    But is it propaganda? The teacher on the island says: "The happiness of devoting oneself to others is bigger than that of enjoying benefits". Let any propaganda for this noble idea be blessed!!!
    I would like to deeply thank the creators of this sublime film. Takahashi Minoru discovers, towards the end of his life, that there is an alternative to the ugliness, greed, evil and stupidity associated with imperialism and capitalism. Towards the end of his life he gets the privilege of discovering the taste and meaning in life. This causes him to transcend to spiritual heights he never knew before. And we share with him the same exciting experience as we accompany him along the film.

    I enjoyed this immensely. It touches on themes one finds in many films from north Korea: redemption; reconciliation; forgiveness. I love the theme song. I downloaded it and play the heck out of it. A beautiful hymn.

    Even in 1988 Japan home scenes like what are depicted in the film could still be seen throughout that country, even if not as much as in 1960s Japan, let alone pre-WW2 Japan. Though, they would probably have been the homes of well-to-do families.

  • @EmilyElizabethxox

    Lol it cracks me up that this was made in 1988 and they show the Japanese people living in traditional garb like that's an everyday thing there. In 1988 the Japanese were listening to KISS, playing video games and rocking the big hair like the rest of the world, not sitting around in kimonos. Regardless, good movie-- backwards like everything in the DPRK but enjoyable

    • @IsmailofeRegime
      @IsmailofeRegime 8 років тому +1

      +Emily Wilson I'm not sure if they're shown that way either because having people "rocking the big hair" would be seen as shocking to DPRK audiences, or because the movie studio didn't feel like importing a bunch of Western clothing for the sake of the movie.

    • @EmilyElizabethxox
      @EmilyElizabethxox 8 років тому +1

      +Mrdie I know you're right. The DPRK is the most isolated country in the world and personifies other countries completely different than the truth to retain ideology that their country is the best in the world. I was just saying I thought it was funny, not that I questioned why.

      She's a little off in this regard.

    • @hananokuni2580
      @hananokuni2580 8 років тому +5

      +Emily Wilson The under-30 generation in 1980s Japan was embracing American and European pop culture rather warmly. The older folk still embraced the things they knew from when they were children growing up in pre-WW2 Japan. Which means that Mr. Takahashi wearing a black men's kimono is on point as far as depictions go. Let's keep in mind that many of the oldest people living in North Korea remember their country being occupied by Imperial Japan, so they would've remembered a lot of things about the daily lives of Japanese during that period.

    "Stalin possessed a profound, totally unflappable, logical, and sensible wisdom. He was a past master at finding a way out of the most hopeless situation at a difficult time....He was a man who used his enemies to destroy his enemy, forcing us - whom he openly called imperialists - to fight the imperialists....He took over Russia still using the wooden plough, and left it equipped with atomic weapons." Winston Churchill

    이나라에서 시각장애자로살아간다는것이 하늘의 별따기만큼힘든세상이고 현재 일자리구해 당당히 내앞길을 혜쳐나가야되겠는데 그렇지 못하고있다
    기초수급자로 생활하고있지만 언제까지 이렇게 살아가야만되는가
    일하고싶은데 시각장애자로 살아가기힘들다
    보건복지부나 덕양구청 사회복지사에서나 앉아서 생활보호사람들 뒤조사해서 세상살아가는 길을막으려한다
    예를들면 기초수급비를모아 앞으로 그무엇이든 해보려하는 내마음도몰라주고 기초수굽비에서 잘라내려한다
    자르기전에 먹고살수있는 일자리를 제공해든지해야겠는데 현실은 그렇지못하고있다
