이 무식한 미국놈들을 믿지 마십시오!
최근 많은 논란 속에서 미국의 코미디 영화 <The Interview>가 2014. 12. 25. 개봉되어 상영중이다.
북한의 김정은을 풍자한 단순 코미디 영화에 대하여 북한이 너무 지나치게 대응하고 있으며 상투적인
선전 구호와 함께 협박 문구가 선동적이다.
이 무식한 미국놈들을 믿지 마십시오!
전쟁은 시작될 것이다.
In light of the recent furor regarding "The Interview" (remember "The Interview"?), a film writer noted the somewhat similar environments in which Lubitsch and Seth Rogen's films opened.
In Christianity Today , a mainstream Christian magazine that analyzes religion, politics and culture -- during the midst of the controversy regarding whether the Sony release would see the light of date after major theater chains declined to carry it -- Kenneth R. Morefield looked at "To Be Or Not To Be" while setting up the situation in which it was created:
"A major Hollywood studio plans a comedy film mocking a prominent world leader and featuring a pair of comedians involved in an assassination plot.
A foreign nation, outraged over the director’s artistic sensibilities, uses his image in its own propaganda, citing him and his work as the epitome of a culture that must be annihilated.
A high-profile critic in the most prestigious newspaper in the country pans the film as tasteless and unfunny.
Even some of the film’s production staff begins to second guess their director, wondering if by making light of
a real evil, they are making it easier for Americans to not take it seriously."
About the only major difference is that as far as we know, Nazi Germany never did the early 1940s equivalent of hacking to United Artists.
