Some of you all may have heard about his before, but in case some of you don't know about this, apparently, the movie known as "The Interview" is set to release October 10th, 2014 and what is the controversy behind this, well, it's because it offends Kim Jong Un and the rest of North Korea at a point that he wants to declare war against the United States. Is he just that sensitive?

To avoid any spoilers on the movie, basically the plot of the movie is two interviewer guys are planning to interview the North Korean leader and the CIA want's them both to assassinate the leader. Kim doesn't like the way the plot of the movie is going and he said that he'll "declare war" against the United States if the movie is released on October 10th.

To my point of view, personally, I think this is the most stupidest thing that NK will do, declare war against the US over a movie, like seriously? Not over terrorism, or supplies, or taking back land, but a stinking movie? I'm thinking to myself, "come on Kim, you're better than that".
How I view this, look what happened in 2004 when "Team America. World Police" was released, Kim Jong Il, he didn't really like the movie, but he didn't flip out like Un is right now. So I think that once the movie is released, Un will ignore the whole thing and act like nothing even happened.
Look at how many movies North Korea made attacking the United States, but no one flipped out, but the US made one movie attacking NK and Kim Jong Un losses his mind.

Apparently recently, Sony is planning on editing the parts that will offend North Koreans, but I still think this is stupid to be honest.


What do you think on this?

Wanting to declare war over a movie that offended them... that has got to be one of the dumbest things I ever heard. It's just a movie, no need to start a war over it =3=

I was once in a short film for a videography class.

In it, my character was made fun of, and demeaned.

I'm declaring war on my high school.

"he said that he'll "declare war" against the United States if the movie is released on October 10th."

Then they should just release it on October 9th.

In all seriousness, if he does declare war on the US, he's screwed, so there's not much to worry about.

Its a movie, who cares! He should use that time to think about his life then delcare war on us. 

I actually made this thread but it got moved to crazy house.
North Korea are crazy I suppose.

Haven't heard of this yet. This is pathetic and brainless.
How many times has Kim Jong Un threatened with war, already? He'll always find a reason, I guess.
Whatever. I just hope this pointless war won't become reality and I'm 90% certain that it won't.

Haha, he's not dumb enough to actually declare war. 

Watch. In the history books 20 years from now, it'll say.

Back when Kim Jong-Un was in power, he nearly declared war over the release of a movie that offended North Koreans. A little movie nearly caused a nuclear war.

North Korea makes petty threats all the time so this isn't really news and I don't think we should give Kim any more attention ( Or his brain any more Oxygen ) than what he already has.

"come on Kim, you're better than that"


The  sad (or hilarious, depending on how you look at it) thing is that he isn't, he really isn't.

World War 1 - Started by a chain of events ending with the assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand

World War 2 - Caused by and uprising by a malicious tyrant known as Hitler.

War Of 1812 - War declared against Britain by America for freedom

Vietnam War - Caused by America wanting to stop Communism

Future War Of October 10th 2014 - Caused by an very sore Rotten Tomato writer

One thing to say.
Wut
This just makes no sense. It's just a movie. And the US will also demolish North Korea

Lol, I have never really been into 'news' or war things but sense I have been working on getting my GED it has opened another huge world to me and this kind of thing interests me. I think it would be pretty dumb to actually declare war over a movie though If it really happens I feel like that will be the dumbest thing to ever happen.

You said Kim is "better than that" but I don't think he is, and it has nothing to do with his status as a dictator. He's obviously insecure and desperately wants his country to be seen as a superpower, so he throws threats around left and right knowing no one really wants war. In reality, he's a chiwawa barking at everyone to show how big he is. I seriously doubt he'd ever actually go to war over something like that, but hey....he does seem very insecure so who knows. If he did declare war though, he wouldn't last too long.

i dont care that movie looks hilarious

plus war is very good for the united states economy its what got us out of the great depression and could possibly get us out of our current recession

Apparently, if any of you haven't heard, Sony (the one behind "The Interview") has cancelled the movie because of the huge Sony's security breach that took place in the past month, and according to news source that North Korea was all behind it, and their demands are for Sony to cancel the movie, and they really had no choice but cancel it.

On my opinion on this, let's see on how I can say this without breaking the rules on the site. I think personally that why they did that, that is just flat out wrong in all accounts. Like look at all the horrific movies North Korea makes that are making fun of the United States and it's allowed, but we ain't allowed to make one movie against North Korea, like what is up with that?

North Korea cannot do anything. They have no allies. China will not help them if they start a stupid war. Any missiles they send will be intercepted. There wouldn't be any war lol. Even they wouldn't be this dumb.

North Korea is always sensitive when it comes to movies that are negative upon their country. Maybe Sony should release the movie online instead releasing it to theaters if it would make the hackers upset.

IgorBird122 :
According to sony, they have only cancelled the cinema release, because many large chains weren't going to show it.

One cinema decided they would protest by showing team America, but then paramount pulled the rights for cinemas to show that too.
