Real Monsters vs Movie Monsters
A Uri Lawmaker watch monster flick The Host and has identified the “real” monster, the United States (Via. The Marmot) Here’s a tidbit
Just like how the film “The Host” is flexing monster-like strength off screen, on the screen, the monster fully visited monster-like violence within a Korean reality. To start from the conclusion, the film’s monster stands for the monster that is the United States, which wields superhuman strength in Korea. The film begins with the birth of the monster that would turn the peaceful riverside of the Han River into a scene of carnage.
As represented by USFK’s illegal release of formaldehyde into the Han River, the tragedy on the Korean Peninsula began with the unclean sperm of the United States fertilizing the egg of the Han River. The monster’s outrages and its eating of people shows the similar tyranny displayed by the United States toward the Korean Peninsula.
Next, former ROK President Kim Dae Jung has identified a bunch of ungrateful bastards. Yep, it’s the United States
Former President Kim said, “We give the United States everything to give, and yet we don’t hear good things.” After mentioning Vietnam, the deployment of Korean troops to Iraq, the transfer of the Yongsan Garrison, the redeployment of the 2nd Infantry Division to rear positions and the KoreUS FTA, he said, “Americans don’t talk about that, and ask why we’ve forgotten their help.”
I can care less about the Anti-American sentiment in South Korea. What I do care about is the tendency to ignore the real monster to the North.
Movie monsters are scary, but they are not real. They may haunt your dreams, but they cannot actually rip out your arms and eat you. Real monsters, in this case, can send a artillary barrage against your cities, storm your country with a million troops, exterminate you or send you to death camps if given the chance.
So I ask the South Korean people (and the political establishment), will you stand up to real monsters? Or will you fight movie monsters, which do not fight back?
