excess HOLLYWOOD review
--invading force from Pyongyang. The newly released "Olympus Has Fallen" depicts the seizure of the White House by a terrorist obsessed with reunifying the Korean Peninsula. Even the new "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" contains a scene where the faux U.S. president (Jonathan Pryce) suggests nuking North Korea 15 times, "just to be sure."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Trey Parker and Matt Stone's 2004 political satire "Team America: World Police" portrayed the late Kim Jong-il as a megaloma-
niac manionette.
North Korea becomes the new bad guy in film industry
What does North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un have in common with Stanley Kubrick? In spite of their rather drastic ideological differences, both men have found ways to make us laugh in the face of nuclear war.
Kubrick, the director of "The Shining" and "Full Metal Jacket", furiously lampooned Cold War paranoia in his 1964 black comedy "Dr. Strangelove," in which the star-spangled psychopath General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) unleashed an atomic Armageddon in order to prevent the Commies from polluting his "precious bodily fluids."
Kim, who's beginning to resemble a discontinued Cabbage Patch Kid, recently released his own cinematic opus: a bizarre propaganda video where poorly rendered U.S. cities are obliterated by North Korean rockets while an instrumental version of Michael Jackson's "We Are the World" drones ominously in the background. Despite the threatening imagery, the most horrifying thing about the video is its production value.
Whether it's discovering ancient unicorn lairs or trash-talking the United States by comparing it to "a boiled pumpkin", much about North Korea's current regime is ripe for parody. Although its increasingly bellicose rhetoric and flagrant human rights violations can't be ignored, the Hermit Kingdom has made itself an admittedly easy target for all manner of pop satirists, including many Hollywood filmmakers.
Within the last decade, North Korea has slowly replaced Russia as the default bad-guy nation in American blockbusters. Last year brought us the abysmal remake of "Red Dawn," which featured an improbably attractive group of young rednecks mounting a full-blown insurgency against an
Is it possible that our volatile relations with Pyongyang could stem, at least partially, from our tendency to intimidate and caricature them in our media? North Korea's citizenry may be forbidden to indulge in Western entertainment, but that doesn't mean the higher-ups haven't been paying attention. After all, the Supreme Leader's deceased father Kim Jongil was an avowed cinephile who proudly claimed to own at least 20,000 film reels, videocassettes and DVDs, including every "Friday the 13th" and "Rambo" installment. The diminutive demagogue even authored a textbook, titled "On the Art of the Cinema", which is still available for purchase on Amazon.
Yet the elder Kim's love of film went far beyond appreciation. In 1978, he arranged for the kidnapping of popular South Korean director Shin Sang-ok and his starlet wife Choi Eun-he and commissioned them to kick-start the North Korean movie industry with a series of anti-capitalist propaganda films, including a remake of "Godzilla" called "Pulgasari." Their ordeal, which practically cries out for a big screen dramatization of its
own, went on for seven years before culminating in a daring escape to the U.S. Embassy in Vienna during a supervised trip there in 1986.
The late Dear Leader was also reportedly an ardent fan of the James Bond series until the release of 2002's "Die Another Day," whose plot involved 007 (Pierce Brosnan) being captured by the North Koreans and tortured for months in a scorpion-infested prison camp. Apparently Kim's biggest grieve not with Halle Berry's acting or even the weapons-grade lameness of an invisible Aston Martin, but rather with the identity of the movie's villain: the criminally insane son of a North Korean general who underwent "racial reassignment surgery" in order to impersonate a dashing British playboy.
Out of all the movies that satirize the North Korean government, Trey Parker and Matt Stone's R-rated puppet show "Team America: World Police" is without a doubt the most enduring and incessantly quotable. It's also a showcase for the duo's trademark propensity for equal opportunity satire, spoofing everything from the futility of the War on Terror to the mind-numbing action cinema of Michael Bay. The film's portrayal of Kim as a lonesome, warbling megalomaniac became so popular that "Team America" began trending on Twitter just hours after the announcement of the real leader's death in late 2011.
A film version of a fanatical film lover outliving the fanatic himself? There's definitely some irony there. And maybe a slim ray of hope for humanity's progress beyond a future predicated on the assurance of mutual destruction.
