Kim Jong Il Praised as Master of Cinematic Art
2005-02-13
HT to Polipundit. Is there NOTHING Kim can't do?
Pyongyang, February 12 (KCNA) -- Foreigners have expressed their strong admiration for leader Kim Jong Il who has provided wise and dynamic leadership to the field of cinematic art when they visited the revolutionary museum at the DPRK Ministry of Culture. Head of the group of Chinese technicians working for the construction of the Taean Friendship Glass Factory Cui Baoyu, said that the Korean feature film "The Flower Girl", scripted from immortal classics "The Flower Girl", is a flawlessly perfect masterpiece.
flawlessly perfect? redundant and repeating
It is entirely thanks to the on-site guidance and instructions given by Kim Jong Il to the field of cinematic art on many occasions for the past several decades that the Korean cinematic art has reached such a high level as we have seen today, he said, adding: We hope that the Juche-based cinematic art of Korea would further develop and effloresce under his guidance. Viktor Yeliseev, head of the State Academy Ensemble of the Ministry of Interior of Russia, said that the museum clearly bears witness to the greatness of President Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il and the glorious course covered by the Korean cinematic art, which has made great progress under their wise guidance. Our visit to the museum convinced us that Kim Jong Il is a genius of art, he added. Swedish delegate Agneta Gustavsson, head of the Austrian delegation Brigiter Waych and other participants of the 9th Pyongyang Film Festival said after visiting the museum that they are firmly convinced that the cinematic art of Korea will make greater progress in the future as it is guided by Kim Jong Il, its great master.
He WAS awesome in Team America. Wonder if they showed it?

#8  Cui Baoyu (to the tune of Blue Bayou):

He feels so bad, he's got a worried mind;
The glass factory's so lonesome all the time
Since Kimmie left on-site guidance behind at Cui Baoyu;
Watching "The Flower Girl", killing time,
Working for Kimmie till the sun don't shine,
Looking forward to happier times than Cui Baoyu.

#7  "Third Highest"? This blasphemy would have you sent to the mines in NKor in no time.

On a sadder note, the international film industry (Hollywood, Japanese and European) is doing a brisk trade with NK when it comes to comic movies. A lot of the stuff is drawn by North Koreans. I don't think they make enough in a month to buy a movie ticket.

#6  ..SNL did a hilarious mock news conference with Kimmie last night, where it was also revealed that he is the third highest all-time NBA rebounder.
