If theres wasnt a food shortage and military that would kill you if you didnt honor the leaders i could possibly live there. I think Pyongyang actually has a nice archetectual design and a nice layout for a big city!
-
So a young guy who cant adapt to the military, is in trouble with the army, has a failed marriage and a shitty childhood chose to go somewhere where he was made a movie star,,, that makes North Korea a great place to go? Good thing he did stay there, If he came back he'd be tried and hanged for treason,,, rightfully so,,

I hope one day I can cross the DMZ and visit North Korea without the fear of someone watching me. I could possibly live there

I disagreed with Bush, but I helped invade Iraq anyway while Osama got away. I signed on that line and stood by my word and my honor. This poor guy is stuck in North Korea FOR LIFE. He drinks like a whale and smokes like a chimney because he knows death is his only escape. I'm no super patriot anymore, but I'd at least finish my tour and take advantage of the GI Bill. Wait, I did!
-
I hope he dies a long and painful death. The traitor deserves to die a court martial isn't as bad as living in a permeant prison (north Korea)

@superstud666 Wow, you really believe that about Norway? You are incomprehensibly stupid. I'm not even FROM Norway, nor am I some kind of expert on it, but seriously, you are dumb as a sack of bricks.
-
The film should not refer to Dresnok's rank. He lost that the moment he defected.

@anneeq008 Yeah it is but you can't visit it like any normal vacation you have to have a goverment official with you at all times telling you where you can go, and what to do, plus you have to give up your cell phone upon entering the country

theoretically speaking, North Korea could be the best country ever and everything we see and hear about it could be twisted lies meant to make us think it is rubbish. I personally think this is unlikely however.

@Pander8874 Comrade evrything is a question of perception.... ask millions of americans living from food stamps, living on the streets, same thing for other millions disenfranchised in western world.... I am damn sure to about 90% their lives in DPRK would be pretty better.... People have a thought in western world of those millions homeless, jobless.... tne number is growing since 2008.....
