[KS] spies and thrillers

[Frank Hoffmann]

Fatherly leaders and good articles about carnages -- hmmmm...
With all due respect, are you planning to teach a Korean film class 
like a history class with documentary visual material, including 
North Korea related spy movies from the South? I would find this a 
problematic approach that likely leads to the usual answers that 
anyone here is able to anticipate and that might hinder students to 
develop good questions; and I even find your request to the list 
confusing. We all know the situation as regards to such kind of 
information and what is involved politically. The reply you got was 
to be anticipated.

On TV, I remember, an interviewee was asked about watching porn 
strips. His short and cute reply: "Well, you've seen one, you've seen 
them all -- why bother?" Recently doing some window (shelve) shopping 
in bookstores that very sentence came to mind when gazing at the 
KOREA section, from a secure distance, one eye closed. Why are there 
20 books on North Korea all with the same stale and totally unsexy 
joke as title? Are these all funded by the same known source, edited 
by the same editor, published by the same .... or is there only one 
reader?
