Sony Pictures Entertainment - the only Japanese motion picture production studio of relevance in the 21st century - just had to take the bait by producing an assassination film of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. This is much akin to America touting the nuking of Hiroshima or how Germany turned France into it's bitch.
For what it's worth, it seems as though Rogen and company could have approached anyone in the world to produce The Interview without such a fierce North Korean backlash, including:
The Vatican Film Productions, Al Jazeera Motion Pictures, Anunnaki Entertainment or any jumble of the letters o, y, n and s - except Sony. Even the U.S. Armed Forces could produce The Interview and Pyongyang would probably write a favorable review.
Does anyone remember the Japanese frigates sunk and the trading of missiles across the Asian pacific? These guys are mortal enemies, Japan and North Korea.
Seth Rogen seems pretty popular - no doubt he could have had anyone in the world produce this flick.
Hell, I bet Seth could have taken the script to Kim Jong Un his beloved-fucking-self and The Interview could be seen on Christmas Day in theaters around the world with no threat of retaliation or bloodshed, nor even a snarky comment.
If Seth Rogen had have kept the fucking Japanese out of it there would be no International flack.
Then again, if you want to fill every seat in small theaters across the world on Christmas Day, that is exactly how to do it.
Well done, gentlemen, well done.
#Merry Christmas #The Interview #Wow Really?
