5:46 perfect timing

[@realdavidii]

This video deserves a Moloko +

[@DtodaH]

It's amazing how the constant threat of execution make make them so perfectly unified

"These games are just the "cherry" on top of the "cake" that makes up the leadership and peoples´ development processes; whatever they they do, under this leadership, these young people are always ready to defend their country." -Just take a look at the end of the show and observe the posture of the Leader; he seems to say: "END OF LESSON!" ... and to all of you who spend your time with, lets say, "blah blah comments", just shut up and learn! - I did not say anything; did I?

[@rhinocycle]

you know, that was just some footage of Kim cut to this - he didn't necessarily have that face when they finished dancing for him. I'm not saying that he didn't, but it was all recut video clips.

[@lorsheckmolseh3345]

They should perform this! Fits perfectly!

[@johntwinam7514]

Wow. People with amazing creativity conceived of and executed this. What hell their lives must be.

When you get out of the Peoples centre for Re-Education for the 3rd time

[@trapadvisor2258]

There was I Kim-Jong-Il and my three droogs that was xi, Stalin and Dennis Rodman sat in the People Centre for Entertainment and Enlightenment trying to make up our razoodocks what to do.

[@thisismyname007]

Good job! I'm impressed! Anyhow, why should I hate North Koreans? I don't hate Red Chinese. I mean, the Red Chinese gave me WALMART.

[@beorn1]

Well, as much as I despise a totalitarian regime and as much as I love Rossini, this video is fantastic.

[@andiejanefisher]

Spectacular! Those Communists certainly know how to put on a good show. The grand-scale uniformity of it reminds me of some Stalinist footage I saw.

An Unforgettable Night

[@StukovM1g]

HAHA! The performers did such a WONDERFUL spectacle and Kim jong il just adjusts his glasses and looks at the ceiling. HILARIOUS!

[@annetteelliott1494]

Stunning performance

[@Gabriel-xi3yi]

clockwork orange ❤

[@annetteelliott1494]

One if my favourite overtures........

[@greenrots]

Brilliant, I always walk away from this with energised and happy. Such discipline and beauty in there choregrophy, but Kim doesn't look so impressed :(

[@spaceboy90]

dude... it's obvious that footage was put in there from another time when he was just sitting there just to be funny, which I found it to be.. very much.

[@osumb17]

o my . !!

[@nicolehartrell969]

How beautiful music and the human spirit can overcome even the most brutal regimes...I pray that the nootropic Korean leader will become more enlightened for al. Our sakes!

[@ScottishLaddie1960]

Nicole Hartrell I just wish he'd get a decent haircut

[@vmom069]

omg... i watch it because of the music but these poor kids.... this looks painful to me

[@icsafighter]

This is so stupid! Why we should worry abut north korea. They just want, to leave them alone.

[@kontwo]

Tree bark? Isn't ginseng (if that's what you mean) the root, not the bark? I can be wrong. Anyways, this video is amazing. But still, I am glad I was born in the Philippines and not North Korea (or any place like that). If you're gonna live in a 3rd world country anyways, it's better to live where there's democracy.

[@Great_Poleaxe]

where is the orchestra?

[@SomeoneCommenting]

NK may be a fcked up country, but you have to accept that they have the best synchronized choreographies for public events on field in the world.

[@userblue]

It depresses me, actually.

[@mobiustrip1400]

Even the far left knows and enjoys good music

[@johnburgh]

Hope the got food in exchange...

[@georgesdubuis6833]

Les femmes sont formidables, l'émotion dépasse largement la raison, le cinéma Elle connait

[@lolwtfpwned]

Go to /b/. You'd be very welcome there.

[@354sd]

How bizarre

[@Nicchelsea]

HAHA this the way to ridicule these dictator states, by putting there mass demonstrations of power and cultural greatness to classical music
