The Interview: Movie Review

When I went to see this movie, I pretty much got what I expected from it to be honest. I mean, it has James Franco and Seth Rogen in it and the whole movie is about making fun of North Korea and killing Kim Jung Un. Now this movie stirred up a lot of fuss, so much that North Korea actually threatened the United States with a terrorist attack that (and I quote) “will be worse than Nine Eleven”. But, as Americans, pretty much the greatest country in the world, didn’t care what so ever. We could easily destroy them if they tried anything on us.

But we weren’t going to be completely stupid while making this completely rude movie. Sony Pictures has already digitally altered the uniforms on the actors playing North Korean soldiers so that they are not identical to the real-world military. The studio is now also in the midst of the ramifications of a massive hack that may be related to the film. It’s much ado about a movie whose central characters have their watches perpetually set to 4:20.

This movie is basically about the character Dave Skylark (James Franco) who is the face of Skylark Tonight, a celebrity gossip show that prides itself on the revealing of deep, shrouded secrets of the Hollywood elite. Although, Skylark would nothing without his producer and best friend Aaron Rapaport (Seth Rogen).

When the team is offered the surprising opportunity to interview Kim Jung Un, the CIA recruits them to assassinate him. Once in North Korea, Kim Jung decides to trick the men into thinking all is well in North Korea and all the things that America has said about it like starving people are all lies. He manipulates Skylark not really caring about Aaron. He makes Skylark relate to him in many ways to force him into not wanting to do the assassination and say good things about North Korea instead of the bad things he was supposed to say.

Now I won’t say anymore just in case you viewers out there haven’t seen this yet, but this is one of the funniest craziest movies I have ever seen and let’s just say you won’t want to miss it.
