A couple of
years ago, during our trip to the DPRK, there was a man in
our group called David Kinsella, a documentary filmmaker from Northern Ireland who has lived in Norway for the
last 20 years.
What
Mr. Kinsella was actually doing in the DPRK and what plans he had for
his stay in that land, I already have described in my sketch "Red-red,
freckled ..." (see English
translation attached), so I will not repeat myself here.
And here’s what happened after.
After
the Korean comrades scrutinized more closely the "portfolio" of Mr.
Kinsella, including his "masterpieces" such as "Killing Girls" and
"Beautiful Tragedy", he never got permission to shoot his new film in
the DPRK. But it did not stop him from making another libelous piece of
"work", especially since he already had some film and photo materials
taken in the DPRK during his trip as a tourist. He is hoping that they
will be enough to give his future creation a certain degree of
plausibility.
But
in reality, his movie "The Wall", much touted as an " unprecedented
film production in North Korea and Northern Ireland. A David Kinsella
film premiere 2015" https://www.facebook.com/296500830364159/photos/a.763592873654950.1073741829.296500830364159/781156215231949/?type=1&permPage=1) was filmed in the most neglected and impoverished ghettos of Belfast, with South Korean actress Yuna Shin (http://www.castingcallpro.com/uk/view.php?uid=296997 ), invited from London and starring as his fictional North Korean Yun Hee.
Here
are a few pictures of his future "masterpiece" (in the attachment), and
the first lines of the so-called "script" which Kinsella already
started to pen back in Pyongyang (in between countless pints of beer at
the hotel). His co-writer, Dutchman Klaas Bense, as far as I know, has
never even visited the DPRK.
Kinsella
had no qualms about the lie that the shooting of his film took place in
North Korea, where men supposedly even "blocked the main street
in Pyongyang early in the morning" for the shoot.
But then he blurts out the truth on his Facebook page: "Location scouting in Belfast and casting for "The WALL" We turn Belfast into "North Korea" (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152292067955039&set=pb.573835038.-2207520000.1409390997.&type=3&theatre).
Funds
for his trip to the DPRK and for production costs were provided by the
Norwegian Film Institute, that is, a public institution of that
Scandinavian country.
According to Kinsella, it is "the
second film of my trilogy on EVIL" (in capital letters, as in the original).
Do we need to say more, in order to understand what he is being paid for?
"In ‘The Wall’ we learn to take our own decisions and believe what we see and not what others tell us to see, "
- that is the theme of this fabricated tale, in which we are told to
believe that life in a Northern Irish ghetto, where people live like
this:
-
which I see with my own eyes every day! -, is akin to life in the DPRK,
where people have no idea of what unemployment, drug addiction,
sectarian murder, and child alcoholism are.
