North Korea and the Interview: Teachable Controversy

Threats by hackers, with alleged connections to the government of the Democratic People's  Republic of Korea (DPRK), forced Sony to postpone the release of the film the Interview. Additionally, the film faced criticism for blatant racism and orientalism (a favorite historical buzz word). Watching the film after all the hype, maintained the expectations I held for a Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg film. The film is an excellent exploration of themes of totalitarianism, dictatorship, censorship, propaganda, manipulation, racism, orientalism, and media manipulation, set to the real world controversy surrounding the film itself. The film itself contains mature themes such as drug use, sexual imagery, and course language. Thus the film would be intended for a mature class at an advanced level. Through watching students will obviously find biases and the themes I have listed in a current popular culture format. Students, through critical analysis, will be guided to self-reflection, the ultimate goal of all teaching.
