koreans going hard on american media

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

funny, i was thinking about this the other day. i had seen this charlie kaufman lecture a few weeks ago and he talked a lot about advertising and propaganda. he was encouraging a room of aspiring screenwriters. he said a lot of good stuff, just about how you should approach your craft. i found it highly informative.

here goes the link, it's long but very good...

damn

they need to clean there home first though. those death camps are very real.

Well a lot of those points they made could be argued. Where are the sources for their statistics, what was the point of having dark musical tones other than to give the images a more sinister.

I do get the jist of the video. The education system is bad and more focused is placed on entertainment in order to distract people from the actual things going on. Bread and circus, I guess. What are any of us going to do? Whats the alternative, move? Nah

Let's not derail the thread, we know that the message is kind of hypocritical coming from a piece of sh*t communist country like North Korea, but let's not act like other countries around the world don't see the b/s in our country as such. This North Korean documentary, just had the balls to call the Americans out without looking like a crackpot conspiracy theory on some PrisonPlanet, Abovetopsercet,Rense, Alex Jones, etc steeze....

I think it is important, and I also think it is important that you consider all the things this documentary leaves out about America

I think for example it would be interesting to know Americans have things like human rights and jobs... and that everyone isn't starving

I think it would be interesting to contrast the levels of propagandism used by NK vs that "used by" the US (I use quotations because at least in the US there are no direct connections between the propaganda and the govt)

So its like this thing is only giving 1/10th the story. If we are going to talk about propaganda.

Looked at most of the first vid posted... yeah on some things they right but on others they reaching and on others just full of shyt. Its all fine and good for them to do a hit job on the American media but what about theirs? Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones as they say. A couple of yall already pointed out things of how they run their propaganda machines, government, etc. and its not exactly rainbows and sunshine over there either. Basically, a bunch of hypocrisy.

subs, will comment after I watch it.

I see what your saying, but who's presenting the information isn't as important as main focus of the video, a lack of awareness in American Society.

For example, I can counter your examples through:
Human rights:
New laws will make voting harder for about 5 million | MinnPost

Food:
Food Stamps: House Republicans Push For Deeper Cuts To SNAP

Jobs:
Obama's Jobs Bill Fails to Advance in Senate Despite White House Push | Fox News

I bet I could take it to the streets right now and post up in front of the CNN building in hollywood and randomly ask people if they know anything about these bills or articles, and the overwhelming majority will probably be no.

But If I counter it with a discussion about Tom Cruise divorce, i'd probably get a full blown conversation about nothing

This is a problem because all these articles have a crucial effect on American Society.

In life you can't run away from your problems by constantly living in a fascade....

The solution, IDK.

American Capitalism is pretty chattle and cold-blooded(checks and balances corrupted through lobbying)

Socialism sounds good, but the eq point never balances(can't be forced)....

Communism seems good, but never implemented right, leads to dictators...

Utopias, on average always fail within 2-3 years of existence...


The solution, IDK, lowkey i'm debating between majoring biochem or taking up neuroscience,(same prerequisites )have to finalize soon. I just want to understand how people think.

The statistics are absolute bullsh1t and north koreans would really have no idea how americans think at all about the products (celebrities,movies, video games) that they showcase......... However, it is a point well taken although a hypocritical one.... Any person of decent intelligence in this country already knows what they are presented, sh1t Huxley told us this back in a brave new world.

Yes the enlightenment is coming. Be warned.

you bunch of smart dumb idiots. This wasn't actually made by North Korea.

Y'all having a philosophical discussion and missing the fact that in NO WAY would North Korea show its people how Americans live. You think they want to show their starving people a beautiful golf course with people cheering as well as him going around fukking beautiful women?

 

[Brown_Pride]

meh, shooting fish in a barrel.
NOt a person here doesn't know everyting in there is sick as fuk.

NOthing really news worthy IMHO, someone making a commentary on a most twisted shyt on tv. you can youtube that shyt from americans too.

I just hope you guys know that this film is not really from "North Korea".


Enjoy it anyway.

Do you know where it's from? My Korean friends say it could easily be a film produced by N. Korean loyalists in the South, of which there are apparently more than a few.
