I remembered that I made this ages ago and thought  I should share.

The videos that I used do not belong to me!

just the editing was done by ME!!

Kim Jong Un declares war on Sony!

Okay, my very first reaction to this was LOL. I know, it's crazy.

Anyway, Sony Pictures' newest American action-comedy film, The Interview, that was about to be released on December the 25th this year (ooh, a little Christmas treat!) have created an uproar in the world of international politics and the tensions between the Korean-American conflict. When I say, this has the potential to cause serious problems in the near-future, I mean it! Why don't you see for yourself...

The trailer to The Interview

Starring Seth Rogen and James Franco (seems like a lot of money has been spent on this), it is a 

comedy where two journalists travel to North Korea to interview Kim Jong Un but takes an unexpected turn of fate when they are instructed by the CIA to...assassinate (this is absolutely crazy!) Kim Jong Un. 

Of course, the patriotic Democratic People's Republic of Korea aka North Korea (it's simpler that way), would have found this despicable and an outrageously offensive act. 

Wikipedia said:

On June 20, 2014, in an interview with The Daily Telegraph, the Executive Director of CFKAP (Center for Korean-American Peace) Kim Myong-chol criticized the film about North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un and said, "There is a special irony in this storyline as it shows the desperation of the US government and American society". 

 He also said, "A film about the assassination of a foreign leader mirrors what the US has done in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Ukraine. And let us not forget who killed Kennedy – Americans. In fact, President Obama should be careful in case the US military wants to kill him as well."

 He added that British films were far better and more realistic than Hollywood movies (full of assassinations and executions). 

Oh, thanks for the last comment, Kim Myong-chol! On a more serious note, it also said:

 "Making and releasing a film that portrays an attack on our top-level leadership is the most blatant act of terrorism and war and will absolutely not be tolerated", KCNA said, citing a government spokesman. The administration warned of a "decisive and merciless countermeasure" if the release of the film went ahead. 

Indeed, that is precisely what happened just recently. On 24th of November, a computer virus called the Shamoon Malware infected the Sony Pictures Entertainment company computers and 3 days later, several Sony films were leaked, including Fury, Annie, Still Alice and many more. But, unsurprisingly, The Interview was not leaked. I think it's obvious who was behind this- but North Korea's denying it. 

At the end of the day, this is actually a very controversial matter- who knows, if this could lead to WWIII? Okay, I think it is a bit over the top today, to declare the film as 'an act of terrorism' and 'a declaration of war' but, I think we need to step into the shoes of the North Koreans and understand that it may be a light-hearted joke for most of us, but it's offensive to the minority who would willingly give up their lives for Kim Jong Un. It's a bit like (okay, this is an extreme example) making fun of God. I agree that Kim Jung Un isn't exactly the ideal version of a leader in our eyes but for some people he is.

But, to be honest, I'm not sure what to think of the whole situation, except that I would watch it when it comes out here in the UK- even Kim Jung Un claimed he'll be watching it.  

On a lighter note, I'm guessing South Korea is secretly laughing away in tears...
