AKA Geuddae geusaramdeul
Anyone seen it?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0445396/
"This South Korean political satire might not have historical resonance for American audiences -- it's loosely based on the 1979 assassination of dictator Park Chunghee by his own people -- but it takes the same comically dim view of governmental power and procedure as "Dr. Strangelove."
-New York Daily News
"Take the real-life 1979 assassination of Park Chung-hee, the despotic, hedonistic, seal-testicle-loving president of South Korea, and stage it as if the Marx Brothers were running the country, and you might get The President's Last Bang."
-New York Post
"South Korean cinema finally gets its first full-blown political satire with The President's Last Bang, a virtuoso slice of sustained black humor."
-Variety

| A couple months ago I went to a concert by that woman that was sitting next to Park Chung Hee when he was shot. |
