North Korea

I saw this video today and found it interesting. In some ways it demonstrates just how incredibly different North Korea is from the United States. Yet, at the same time, I found there to be an element of the video that showed the humanness of the Korean people; we really aren't that different.

I watched this and wondered, what human side did you see in those people? I thought they all looked like forced robots showing off how military powerful they were.
I did see one girl smile...

The shots of them marching made the Koreans seem really robotic. I totally agree. But the shots in the crowd made them feel more human to me...at least more human than my previous perceptions of North Koreans.
