It is a glorious event if you are able to look at it SOLELY from an artistic point of view! But the messages behind the games cheapens it potential for most of us.
These are the images that annoy Kim haters so much.
They are haters because they know that they can´t do it the same way.
I love this because this is only what comes up to the surface, this is just a small image of what korean people have achieved across their country — check Google Earth.
I am portuguese and I know that I can´t even dream about that in my country—with Google Earth, just try to compare Portugal to North Korea; not even in 100 years we can get to that level of devellopment.
You know...I'm willing to bet that keeping all these people healthy for every year's events is enough to starve half a million people whenever the harvest is poor.
@TheTollundWoman Socialism can be a very very good thing. Every country should have some level of socialism in their country on some level so that the people have protection/ a safety net to catch them when they fall on hard times. The world isn't just sinking or swimming. Pure Socialism doesn't work, but socialism in general is not a bad thing.
Socialism *can* be a good thing- like the British national healthcare system, or public schools in the US, before the govt. cut funding so much they became ineffective. I was responding to a comment saying "This (the video of North Korea) is why I love socialism." I think it is sickening how western leftists defend this dictatorship without having any idea what its like to live there.
As for a safety net...North Korea's healthcare system has completely collapsed, 40% of the population has latent tuberculosis, and nearly 3 million people have died of starvation. When people "fall on hard times" the government leaves them to die in the street. but no one cares about that fact in the "Left" in the US or Britain, they keep saying Kim Jong Il was an "anti-imperialist"
@TheTollundWoman I've never heard anyone, left or right, say they like the actions of the North Korean government or even talk about Kim Jong Il in an even remotely positive way. he was a sadistic, narcissistic, monster, and the world is much better place without him. The North Koreans are being greatly mistreated They're trapped in their country, starving to death, years behind in terms of technology, farming, building etc. They deserve better.
I agree with you bondage... This is a beautiful performance, however the American ideological countries cant seem to accept that because they are left wing... No Right wing country has ever done acrobat performance like this one.. This is the one performance that should be appreciated..
Absolutely amazing! Korean people in north are more beautiful than their compatriots in south. They are not corrupted by the democrazy ideas from US and Japan.
Great show I must say! Very beautiful! Well bondage let me ask you in the 200 countries or so in the wold how many are um....... democratic with a quality that is like the US? not even half. Hehe.
When North Korea eventually goes bust they should start a circus :P

Such a mixture of emotions whenever I see them. Incredible accomplishment, despite the continuous stronghold on their personal freedoms.
