To be honest, this film shows exactly the same as I expect about North Korea, but as a Chinese who born at 1993, I feel more complex rather than sympathy.
When I was at 7, I was also very proud of join children's union, children can talk about join this union for half years, no matter of what exactly this union means. No one knows what you will be responsible for this union, it seems empty and funny now, but for then, I just proud of it and "always ready" as well.
Then the factory is also so real, basically all of my friends in my childhood were live in the factory. Some factories got their own primary school for children who born in that area. It is easier and safer for children to play around factory area, it seems like just flash back to my childhood.
Then the recite thing in the very end of the movie is exactly same as myself experience too. However when I become an adult I am really thankful for that time when I was forced to recite those much thing, because nowadays when I see beautiful things those painful poems and lyrics just come out of my mind, gives me the best way of describing beauties.
From my prospective, this mode maybe fit for North Korea. If people cannot see the outside world for this moment, then they will not become angry, jealous or pessimistic about their future.
At the beginning of the movie I really thought that if China can develop this quick in this 15 years, maybe North Korea can do the same thing too.
Although it is looks sad for a moment.
