Seoul Train Reaction
This movie definitely opened my eyes to something I had no idea was even going on in this world. In a way it made me upset to know that this is happening and essentially theres nothing we can really do about it. I always knew North Korea wasn't necessarily a very good place, but i never knew it was to that big of an extent. The one thing I'm confused on is that I don't know how to feel about the people who were attempting to escape. I want to praise them for taking a stand and trying to get themselves and their families away from that situation, but in the back of my mind all I can think is how bad could it possibly be for people to do that knowing that if they are caught they will tortured and beaten until death. Overall, I really enjoyed watching this movie and I got a lot out of it and was able to learn a lot. It feels good knowing that now I am just a little bit more educated on this problem in the world and that I have some background knowledge even though it isn't a topic you want to believe is actually taking place.
