White House movies

I saw this one guy posted on Twitter something about White House, Pentagon etc.
I was like "The thing about US might not answering any of the exam papers but nak tengok jugak"

Olympus Has Fallen (2013)

White House Down (2013)

Two movies regarding the White House at the same year, this is really tough to choose.
I watched the Olympus Has Fallen first and only then I went to proceed the White House Down.

Both of the movies are really great, with a slight difference on the storyline.

Like in the Olympus Has Fallen, it is about how the terrorists coming from the North Korea took over the White House, and there's this special secret agent as the hero and the Mr President is saved.

As for the White House Down, the story is a little bit different.
The ones who took over the office wasn't a terrorist like the Americans have expected ie Al Qaeda etc.

The 'terrorists' were americans and had a conspiracy to gain $400 million owned by the office and yes like any other movies, it is not actually about money.
But the best part is, the movie isn't as thriller as Olympus Has Fallen.

There were funny scenes and the Mr President wasn't passive.
He got shots, died few times and talked like a normal ghetto, omg I really like Jamie Foxx.
but the best part was, the hero wasn't a secret or special agent.

Channing Tatum was just a normal guy, an ordinary army who dropped out from the university few times and he at least got 2 years experience in the Iran.
That's all he got as a hero but save the Mr President, and yes his daughter too and I guess that's what made the movie kind of interesting compared to Olympus Has Fallen.

You might not agree with me but yeah what can I say I'm still waiting for the sequels of the Olympus Has Fallen which is London Has Fallen expected March 2016.


Stay tuned folks!

However, the Olympus Has Fallen has left such a great impact on my mind.
It made me think why the North Koreans hate US so much that they tend to take over the office?

I went through some articles and travelogs about the North Korea.
Believe it or not, I never expected the country is seriously that worst.

This one blog "Wait But Why" where the writer was a tourist when we went to North Korea.
He's so amazing, he took some pictures of the poor when it is against the rules in that country lol.

Propaganda everywhere.

There's a rule where if you wanna take the pictures of the two brothers, you gotta take em from the top to the bottom, no crop etc.

Farming activities on the road.

This building is considered as the nicest one in the most beautiful city called Pyongyang.
"Built in the Soviet Era, rotting ever since"

No traffic light? No problem!

I have no idea if this is a bus or a train because obviously where are the tyres?

The two bros everywhere.
Everywhere.

No internet access, the life in the picture looks like in the 1990s.
I wanna read more on this country cause I have zero knowledge why is it being so protective and isolated themselves from outside the world?

There's so much questions in my mind that I desperately need the answers by now but I don't have much time since I've got one more paper this Tuesday and there's so much stuff I need to read for the paper.

Adios!
