Movie Review: "North Korea: The Great Illusion"

This is a movie review of the documentary "North Korea: The Great Illusion". I could not find the IMDB link for this but I watched this via Amazon video: here.


Could not find a trailer for this.



Plot
This is a documentary on the dictatorship and censorship in North Korea. Considering how strong the regime's censorship is, they weren't able to show much of the real story but this is (according to those that filmed this documentary) more of the story than what they were able to film previously. It helps that they were able to talk with those that have defected from the country to give a bit more of an insight but this documentary is merely a chaste "taste" of North Korea.



Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.


3/5 - A good taste of what is happening out there but can't get more of the real story, due to censorship. Interesting to see and intriguing to think about (how a dictator keeps the masses under control).
