[jgckpot]

every performer deserves to be appreciated for fruit of their hard work. these people worked very hard to perfect their moves to show their love for their nation. they have done nothing wrong

[FreeRhuna]

they will all burn in hell, every single one of them

[jasoncrater]

@FreeRhuna Such a constructive comment. Really appreciate you writing on my wall. How wonderful the world woud be if everyone thought like that. Merry Christmas.

@FreeRhuna Judge the masters not the servents

[PeterPianoXiong]

They're like color guards from marching bands... except tens of thousands of them perfectly in sync.

[funktimusrhyme]

0:42 Nearest row, fourth from the right. Bet she didn't even make it back to the locker room after that mess-up.

[cupidophone]

SOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[jsnovais1000]

How is it possible that, in such a big stadium filled with tens of thousands of kids playing this mass games in such a precise way, you can´t find a camera-man capable of filming it correctly?

—It´s always the same story: ... the camera-man was not a DPR Korean person!...The kids were!...

[jasoncrater]

@jsnovais1000 The camerawoman was in fact a DPRK person, as i did not have my camera with me. You should go and make some fantastic films in North Korea and put them up, i would love to see them.

[jsnovais1000]

@jasoncrater ...you see: it was not a camera-man!...just kidding!

As a matter of fact, that camera-woman is not bad; ...she is a korean lady!—Yeah!

I was not being specific about this video, in particular—I was coming from a bad experiences and, "BANG!", I posted my anger comment!

Sorry for not specifying that, but about the bad quality of most videos where the camera-man/woman keeps moving the camera too fast and/or to slow, (taking arbitrary close-ups) trying to do everything at a raw stage...

[jsnovais1000]

@jasoncrater Thank you for sharing, anyway!

—...about myself going there, wow!...maybe someday soon!...I can´t promise, but if I have the chance to get hold of a good camera, with a fine resolution, I can assure you that my video-clips will move along and change in a much smoother way than most you see on the Internet!—there must be some final cut work, before a I post it, anyway!

Thank you!

[theslaking2]

[felino3210]

Kim Jong-il plays with the North Koreans as if they were folk plaster figurines.

[girlblink2208]

Unfortunately almost nobody from outside can see those things....

That's really beautiful!

[meleszenawi1111]

beyondsupreme wrong anyone can enter besides south korean who can only enter under certain tours and circumstances

[AlexandreJdB]

The music is ridiculous!!!!!!!

[Fedluke]

Fuck everybodys political views

[fuzzwarmy]

Boooorrrrriiinnngggg



[jmnm0]

individuality

[Hateaccounting]

They are starving but they still waste thousands of people and times just to show off. That's why communist are always poor and stupid

[ZioBeppe1917]

one person = one pixel

[beyondsupreme]

@ZioBeppe1917 yes

[ScarletandCreme32]

Sinister.

[fairoflife]

wow... hope to go there in North Korea

[ge1org1e]

I would love to be there and see this. I find NK so interesting

[Eye2Eye35]

CRAZY communists.

[beyondsupreme]

what`s crazy? they don`t have crazy terrorist in a big city like New York or London.

I don`t like communism.but they have the best hard rule in the world. so people can`t even get a flower on a mountain while traveling. that`s good place to live except North Korean leader`s goverment

[AutumnNatae]

what was with the 80's music.

It was a good performance

[jasoncrater]

Wow, i will be there again next year....

[beyondsupreme]

nobody can enter North Korea except high-class people or South Korean visiters who want to see a mountain(keum-kang) in North Korea

[jasoncrater]

I agree....

[gabsylv]

The DPRK government has always used a dual policy of consideration for the workers and control of the workers. You have to comprehend both aspects to understand their society. But over all of it is Korean passion and artistry. Wonderful! ^^

[jasoncrater]

How many of you have been to North Korea who are commenting here?? I suggest you go there before any more comments about how 'sick' it is there. I think we have a lot to learn from them in terms of 'community', at roots level.

[9ijnbhu87ygvcft65rdx]

have you bin there?

[jasoncrater]

yes i have, for 2 weeks in 2007, which is when i took these videos.....

[9ijnbhu87ygvcft65rdx]

[jasoncrater]

Yes, another place about 60km outside the city where there was a beautiful Buddhist Temple.

[spamdude060]

[HesseJamez]
