Great stuff. I particularly like this caption:
"After his death, Ami and her younger brother brought the doll to their home as a memento of their father. One day, when a drop of Ami's blood happened to fall upon the two-inch-tall Pulgasari, it was suddenly given life, and grew bigger as he ate iron."
I mean, is this high concept or what? If only there was a PlayStation 2 tie-in!
I remember in the mid-80s when C-SPAN ran, unedited and untranslated, live Soviet TV. There was a children's claymation program that showed a socialist bear (of course) who united the forest creatures against the capitalist crows who were hoarding the available food. Sweet, but it lacked the above's bizarro imagination.
Then there were the TV listings in the English version of Pravda. My all time fav was a show titled "Popular Science Program." How could it not be?
