The Interview (II) (2014)
10/10
One giant leap against oppression.
23 December 2014
In the suburbs of downtown Baltimore there is a tiny theater owned by Khoa "Kevin" Nguyen. This man became a hero the day he decided to stand up against censorship and communism. The date was the 22nd of December, 2014. The decision was screening The Interview against the wishes of the country Kevin's parents fled in the late 30s. When a day earlier this movie house was deemed insignificant, now the entire world was watching. I'll admit that I have had my fair share of luck in the past. Obtaining tickets for this premiere can't be described as a continuation of that luck. It was what the word 'wonder' was invented for.

The movie is a magical fairytale ride of friendship, deceit and terrorism. Clear becomes within the first ten minutes why Kim wanted this art out of the running; it is a critical indictment on the state of his person, country and regime. Seth Rogen and James Franco once again prove that they are the modern day Brothers Grimm. It is needless to say the Nobel peace prizes of 2015 and 2016 are in order.

A cultural mega storm not witnessed since the Renaissance. This film will cause riots not only in laughter, but perhaps more importantly against the corruption of this world. Ten out of ten.
