You know, watching this, I initially just laughed it off as propaganda, but as it went on, I found it quite tragic. These people (especially at the time this was made) truly have nothing. They've endured this awful life for so long, the only thing that they can look up to *IS* "The Great General". Yet, it seems as though there actually is a (veiled) message about repression.
I think Lisa Ling said it best: "In North Korea, there is no difference between fear and admiration for their leader(s)."
......................NORTH KOREA....A WORLD OF ITS OWN......18 millon dollor order for the great one to have two yachts from italy......and no money for food....brain washed HOW LUCKY THAY ARE....... i feel so sad ... that jerk could start getting their broken down railroads up to world standards.....the new traffic would bring in billons...an a bright new world...john locke lyric pines
It always seems to me like Kim senior red 1984 and thought "well ... it's a start".
"We rely living on our General as our god" being a 'expression of national psyche rather than propaganda' is factual. The outrageus lie has been repeated often enough and it became the truth. I dare not think what will take to shake this cult, and what the immediate consequences will be.
BTW anyone else thinks that the schoolgirl is kind of hot??

Wow, look at Dear Leader all nicely coiffed. With just the right dubbing, this clip could double as a commercial for Fantastic Sam's.

This was interesting.... hilarious and phony when they zoomed up on the picture of Kim Jong Il, but very tragic at the same time.

I don't care if it's glorifying Kim Jong Il, the music from 1:35 to 1:50 is so beautiful.
