The Interview (4 Stars)


We all know Kim Jong-Un. He's the little boy with a silly hair cut who rules an insignificant little country in Asia. Over the last few years he's pretended to be important by developing nuclear weapons and threatening the United States. He didn't have the intelligence to realise that his one or two rockets would be shot down somewhere off the Russian coast long before they approached America, and the only result would be an endless rain of missiles falling around him. Maybe he's seen sense now, because he's given up his nuclear ambitions.

"The Interview" is a satirical film made in 2014 about Kim Jong-Un. Two reporters from a successful American news show are invited to North Korea to interview Kim Jong-Un. They're serious reporters whose only interest is in making even bigger ratings, but the CIA wants more. They're persuaded to assassinate Kim Jong-Un during their visit.


The film doesn't hold back in portraying Kim Jong-Un's evil nature, but it also shows him as a sensitive person suffering from never being accepted by his father. For instance, his father told him he was gay because he liked drinking margaritas. In order to prove to himself that he's not gay he indulges in parties with beautiful naked women while his wife is at home knitting.

As a satire, "The Interview" is a very well written film. Unfortunately, Kim Jong-Un doesn't understand satire. Instead of laughing at the film he called it a declaration of war and threatened to retaliate. So let him retaliate. He should hire North Korea's best film director and tell him to make a film about President Trump being assassinated. That's a film I would like to see. I'd like to see films about all the world's leaders being killed. Making films is much better than fighting wars.
