Its just a movie No, not really.... Originally, the movie didnt feature the DPRK, and was meant to portray a fake dictator and country, as in Sasha Baron Cohens The Dictator. A leaked confidential email from the hack, however, revealed that Sony had been in contact with the US-funded RAND Corporation, a key think-tank of the US national security establishment. The movie was also, according to the leaked conversations, discussed with a very senior [official] in [the] State[Department] Apparently, Bruce Bennett, a senior analyst at the RAND Corporation, reviewed the script as well. The Sony executives expressed anxiety over North Koreas reaction to the movies depiction of the brutal assassination of Kim Jong Un, but Bennett insisted that the assassination scene be left in... This looks less like an innocent, if offensive, stoner comedy, and more like a propaganda movie. Its purpose is to legitimize and normalize the idea of the illegal assassination of the leader of a sovereign state -- its no surprise South Korean activist groups wanted to drop copies of it in North Korea with balloons. Imagine if Putins buddies at the Kremlin sat down with the Russian film company Mosfilm to discuss the crucial plot details of a movie depicting staggering human rights abuses in America and the brutal killing of Obama to stop US imperialism.
