On tubefilter.com there is a very interesting article about Kim Jong Il and his interest in cinema. He, besides being the dictator of his country, is a huge movie buff currently owning 20,000 plus movies. He also made a book on the art of cinema because he is apparently a "genius in cinema." He had a movie studio built in the capital of Pyongyang as well as many personal theaters. Without any people to make the films, he had several South Korean filmmakers kidnapped to make them. You can get these and many other interesting tid-bits in a film called The Vice Guide to Film: North Korea which part of the video is shown in this article. I found this article to be interesting and it kept me wondering how someone can be as crazy as Kim Jong Il. I personally want to see the rest of The Vice Guide to Film: North Korea. It has me hooked.
