[...] Ths Chosun Ilbo ran an interview with director Kang Woo-suk, whose new film “Hanbando”will open on July 13. We’ve discussed what promises to be an exercise in Korean hypernationalist fantasy before, but why read my tripe when you can get straight from the director’s mouth? [...]

So what was so wrong with the portrayal of North Korea in the Bond film? The Nork leadership IS made up of evil schmuck. The only thing I wasn’t sure about was when the helicopter crashed near an oxen ploughing a field. I assumed it to be North Korea, though if it was supposed to be the South, obviously its behind the times, but if the North, then it’s actually ahead of the times. The Norks don’t have any oxen to plough fileds now cause they’ve all been eaten due to the famine. When and if times get better for the Norks, they may able to upgrade to oxen someday in the future, again.

who cares how the japanese american director portrayed korean folk in the bond film? not me.

To an ignorant, racist ear such as yours, “Tamahori” probably does seem Japanese. Even though you have jumped out of the well, you are still quite obviously a moronic spawn of Tangun at heart.

Anyhoo, Tamahori is a Maori/English, you dimwitted racist cricket. Go grab your 9.2 cm and run along somewhere else now.

kushibo, i thought the korean protest against the 007 film was ridiculous. why go hysterical over a movie? if you don’t like it, you don’t go see it. it’s that simple. and really, who cares how the japanese american director portrayed korean folk in the bond film? not me.

Haisan, I see where you’re coming from and I do agree on your distinctions based on the levels of accomplishment between Bong and the others.

I hope you’ll write more for the Marmot in the future, your screen quota post was great and well received.
