Just watching [2] "Pulgasari" [3], a North Korean Kaijusploitation movie. In a gist, a socialist, north-korean Godzilla rip-off kills aristocrats. It's a typical 80ies monster movie and probably not the worst out there. But the making of the movie is much weirder: Kim Jong-ill abducted Shing San-ok [1], the director of the movie, from South to North Korea. So the socialist, opressor-hating Kaiju itself is a product of forced labor. You can't make this shit up.
N-gated Hacker News🎥🦖 Vanity Fair's "Pulgasari" piece unravels the gripping tale of Kim Jong Il's foray into film production—because what better way to craft a cinematic masterpiece than by *kidnapping* a director? 🤔 Spoiler alert: Even North Korea's version of Godzilla couldn't escape its own kaiju-sized absurdity! 🦑🎬

✧ Pulgasari ✧
Pulgasari is an epic monster film directed and produced by Shin Sang-ok (pictured) during his abduction in North Korea. Filmed in 1985 as a co-production between North Korea, Japan, and China, it is supposedly a remake of a lost 1962 South Korean film. The story is set during the Goryeo dynasty and centers on Ami (played by Chang Sŏnhŭi), a pea...

Guy_VOIn 1978 liet de Noord-Koreaanse dictator Jong-Il Kim de Zuid-Koreaanse filmregisseur Shin Sang-ok en zijn vrouw ontvoeren om voor hem films te maken. Voor hij in 1986 kon ontsnappen, maakte hij de Godzilla-achtige film Pulgasari. Hoe oubollig de film ook gemaakt is, en met nogal wat opzichtige goofs, ik vind het resultaat beter dan veel moderne Hollywood-rommel. #Pulgasari #MonsterMovie #Godzilla #movies #cinema

DDD136 - PULGASARI (1985)
Episode · Dinos, Dämonen und Doktoren · Bei uns verwandelt sich der #SEOULtember in den PJÖNJANGtember, denn wir sprechen über den nordkoreanischen Kaijufilm "PULGASARI" - Ein Film, dessen Entstehungsgeschichte um ein vielfaches interessanter ist als der Streifen selbst. Wir werden trotzdem beides Ausgiebig besprechen. Besucht uns auf unseren Socials https://linktr.ee/dinosdaemonendoktoren und vergesst nicht unsere Community-Frage zu beantworten: "Was könntet ihr ebenso gierig verschlingen, wie Pulgasari das Eisen im Film?"

And we're back with 11 mins to go in the film. We're all celebrating, and nothing can go wrong! Hooray for our Great Ally, Pulgasari!
In the last 10 minutes:
"oh shit, our Great Ally is now eating our resources that the OG Bad Guys were trying to steal. Fuckin A."
Does 2 women talking about a #Kaiju count as a #BechdalPass?
I like Ami; she's the smartest & bravest person in this film.
Fucking off into ... the stones? The End ... or is it?
