Korean-American actor Randall Park expressed his best wishes for the people of North Korea, after playing dictator Kim Jong-un in the recent Sony Pictures film, "The Interview." "I'm glad that the dust has settled on the movie and we're moving on from that...", Park [said on Wednesday]...(source: Korea Times, 1.22)
And today's KCNA published the following piece...
The spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK released the following statement on Wednesday:
The U.S. and its vassal forces are becoming desperate in their moves to dare hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK.
According to a report, the U.S. recently presented to the Berlin international film festival(*) the ill-famed and undesirable movie "The Interview" slandering the DPRK and fanning up terrorism.
Not content with reckless provocations, seized with morbid repugnancy and inveterate enmity toward the DPRK, the U.S. ruling quarters prodded a pseudo movie company into daring produce and distribute the movie hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK. This lashed its army and people into great fury.
As the base and mean movie was unanimously rejected by the international movie circle and public, the U.S. made great haste to open it to public over internet. Now it is going to screen the movie at its vassal countries under the pretext of the participation in the international film festival.
When the gangster-like movie company came under hot cyber attack for producing the undesirable movie, the U.S. is keen to slap new "sanctions" against the DPRK by deliberately linking it with Pyongyang.
All facts prove that the U.S. has opted for extreme confrontation to stifle the DPRK politically, economically and militarily by hurting the supreme interests of the DPRK despite its repeated warnings.
The U.S. anti-DPRK actions are being conducted in all fields with every possible means and method involved. This is the most undisguised terrorist act and war actions against the sovereign state and it poses a serious threat to the peace in the region and the world.
Germany is joining the U.S. in these actions though the former took the lead in inflicting unspeakable misfortune, pain and disaster on humankind through two world wars.
History and humankind still vividly remember aggression, plunder and racial extermination including the massacre of Jews committed by Germany during the Second World War no matter how loudly it may talk about its postwar reparation.
Germany's attitude to allow the screening of the undesirable movie while blindly following the U.S. cannot but be a dangerous act that can repeat its shameful history.
The screening of the movie that hurts the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK and openly agitates state-sponsored terrorism has nothing to do with the "freedom of expression" touted by Germany. It is evidently agitation of terrorism quite contrary to the purpose and nature of the Berlin international film festival.
The allowance of the screening would make "freedom of expression" touted by the West freedom of hurting the inviolable dignity of other countries, freedom of encroaching upon their political view, religious belief and culture and freedom of violence and terrorism.
Encouraging and praising terrorism are considered to be crimes as monstrous as terrorism in Europe and it is a reality that the most of the European countries are seized with uneasiness and fear in the wake of the hideous terrorist acts that occurred in France and various other countries.
To screen the movie agitating terrorism in Europe at this time is a self-contradictory act that chills the atmosphere of combating terrorism growing strong in the whole of Europe.
Running high at present is the indignation of the army and people of the DPRK and their will to annihilate the U.S.(**) and other hostile forces as their moves to dare do harm to the dignity and authority of the supreme leadership of the DPRK have reached an extreme phase.
Devotedly defending the leader is the supreme principle of the DPRK that can never change no matter how many times the world may change, and there can be neither deviation nor compromise in this principle.
The U.S. and Germany should immediately stop the farce of screening anti-DPRK movie at the film festival.
Those who attempt at terrorist acts and commit politically-motivated provocations and those who join them in violation of the sovereignty and dignity of the DPRK will never be able to escape merciless punishment(***).
So, as you can see... THE SHOW MUST(will) GO ON!!!

When his teenage daughter Yu-mi landed a job at the electronics company Samsung, Hwang Sang-ki was bursting with pride. Yu-mi would bring in enough money to support her struggling family and, she was hoping, it would pay her younger brother's way through university.
But in 2007, five years after she began work at one of the semiconductor plants of the South Korean consumer electronics firm, Yu-mi died, on the back seat of her father's taxi as he rushed her to hospital...(Guardian, 2.05)
A film based on the death of a Samsung Electronics employee was released in South Korea, with its producer complaining of difficulties in securing screens despite high viewer interest. "Another Promise" is a fictionalised account of the story of Hwang Yu-Mi, a real-life employee who died in 2007 of an acute form of leukaemia after working for four years at one of Samsung's semiconductor plants...(Times of India, 2.06)
A detailed film review you can read here!
On the morning of February 6, "Another Promise"(aka "Another Family"), a film about the true story of Hwang Yu-mi who died of leukemia while working at Samsung Electronics' semiconductor plant released in theaters despite talk of outside pressure and problems with a lack of screens.
But despite it was the opening day, not a single poster was hanging in the theater. Last Thursday, many other film posters were displayed in the CGV theater in Seoul’s Guro district, but none for "Another Promise". But even in the morning, many viewers were already there to watch the film, which has had troubles being produced and shown. More than 80% of seats for the 9:50 am showing had been sold for the premiere(more about the event you can read here and here)...
