this weekend i saw a movie called crossing
it was so heavy
it's about a north korean guy trying to get medicine for his wife, trying to get to china, while he is on his way his wife dies so his son comes after him.
when the guy arrives in china he ends up being sent to south korea while he just wants to go back with the medicine for his wife (he doesn't know she already died), people think he jsut wants to escape to south korea but he doesn't,he just wants to go back to his wife and son... such a sad movie. the ending was especially rough. i thought maybe there would be a positive spark at the very end but it was just another smack in the face. makes you realise how harsh reality is, movies that don't try to be all pretty but a portrait of reality.
reality in north korea is just fucked.. people get treated worse than animals, nobody cares.
made me realise how lucky people living in 'free' countries are, we pretty much have everything we need but still get depressed... so selfish.

so so true that.
Watching this kind of movies make me realise all the stuff i'm mourning about is so nothing. i've already lived enough to do what i wanted to do, but i'm still alive and being selfish.... x
problems close to you always seem like a big deal but usually aren't once you deal with them i think, like..take advantage of being able to do fun stuff without feeling guilty.
when i saw this movie it just really got to me much more than any other docus i'd seen about north korea because there's always so much cencorship, this movie is way more rough. x
