Also I was thinking #SwingKids seemed like it would be a great stage show and of course it was based on one. Maybe some day I’ll understand enough Korean to go see it 😛 🎶

The Korean #SwingKids movie is FANTASTIC and should be on Viki. You will laugh and you will cry. Kyungsoo trained in both tap dancing AND North Korean dialect.
I also appreciate how, like in Mr. Sunshine, it talks about some of the realities of US military involvement in Korea. (This *is* set in a POW camp)

Listening to Leonard Cohen's Dance Me to the End of Love and the lyrics have me thinking of the cathartic diversion of dancing in the movie Swing Kids, set in 1930's Germany against the rise of fascism.
Dancing in the face of apocalypse. Powerful stuff.
