Only in north korea do they know how to make an hour long movie on traffic cops and washer machines. Despite the topics not being nearly as interesting as a film from any other country, I kinda like how the DPRK does their movies. Just about everyday life, and just ordinary people playing the parts. Gets rid of all that pop culture nonsense.
I recall there was a weekly series of programmes about a fictional pair of motor bike mounted traffic policeman in the US back in the 1980s. CHiPs was the title if I remember correctly.

I saw this movie, was moved and shed tears. I went to twice, 2017 and 2018 and D.P.R.Korea. Traffic police authorities were seen in Pyong Yang. They were always making an effort for road safety. They think there are a lot of stories like this movie, too. Thank you very much for your moved movie. 나는, 이 영화를 보아서 감동하고, 눈물을 흘렸다. 나는, 2017년과 2018년의 2회, 조선민주주의 인민공화국에 갔습니다. 평양에서, 교통 경찰관을 보았습니다. 그들은, 교통 안전을 위해서, 늘 노력하고 있었습니다. 그들도, 이 영화와 같이 , 많은 이야기가 있다고 생각합니다. 감동하는 영화를 감사합니다.
My first NK film I have ever watched and I strangely liked it. Simple story, simple people, educational purpose of the film doesn't bother me, I had to watch plenty of those when I was growing up and those were filmed mostly by Soviets. I don't remember having any Korean films on TV back in the 80s. And on top of everything, in the film I spotted a Karosa bus, so popular in Czechoslovakia back in 80s. Made me feel nostalgic, but yet...
Karosa buses also were in mongolia back at those days.very guaranteed buses i have ever known. Just remembered my childhood life in socialist country.that was the same with NK nowadays.
NK really thrived under Soviet rule. They had good education and art style in the 80s. I noticed NK says Annyeonghashimnikka which is more formal way to say hello than Annyeonghaseyo which is the most common in SK. But they never say Annyeonghashipshio which is even more formal although they still use this in the south.
To me, this movie is not bad at all! You may find socialism cool or not, but here we have a quite subtle story of love, duty, deliberate responsibility, humane strength and weakness, yet heartwarming at places. And the actors are remarkably good. Even the song is beautiful. I am from Vienna/Austria, and I bet that if they showed this on our local TV, quite a number of people would like it.
This is the kind of movie I'm looking for. It is original and creative. Thumbs up. Clean with good upright moral values. No nudes, no negativity, no vulgarities. Thank you for uploading.
This was a very pleasant little film. Love looking at the cute traffic controllers in those bright blue uniforms. Pretty impressive to see a young police lady stop a 20-ton lorry speeding down hill on a dark and rainy night, using only a police whistle. Sure took Gyong Chan long enough to wise up. He's standing there in the rain thinking, "do I want to keep acting like a knucklehead or get busy with Un Suk?" What a doof. Loved the movie. I give it 4 stars out of 5.
@@johannapfelburg6286 the entirity of nk is a total colapse at this point, not long until china takes over them completely and honestly they'd probably be better with them anyways.
What do you guys expect? DPRK's largest aid supplier is gone (USSR), and with that an entire array of Socialist Trading Partners (Warsaw Pact Countries). Instead of establishing relations with the new regimes of those countries, they instead isolated themselves even further, so of course film quality, storyline, and economy in general will be headed toward collapse.
Something very pure and unpretentious about making films about ordinary people going about their ordinary lives. The part that got me was how her co worker was curling her hair in the office and her mother called, then her friend came in. It's very human.
One of my favorite movies! I have been to Pyongyang to photograph the traffic girls 4 times. I picked up the DVD in Pyongyang some years ago. Mokran video's finest.
I love this film. It teaches us that rules have a reason, and that it is best that we obey them for our own health and well-being. It is especially good to see that even when conflicts arise, everyone is trying to be respectful of one another.
Very Good, and I see it is available on DVD so I know exactly what I'll be doing next :) I've become quite fascinated in North Korea over time, and I'm glad I found you youtube channel here. Kind Regards, and Best Wishes !!

When I taught English at Kim Ilsung in 2017 they forced us to watxh NK movies all weekend in order to pickup NK accents when we spoke Korean. I remember this movie so well. I seen it 20 times
+Roswell Night I can't believe I got sucked in to watching this LOL LOL 2 transmission gears broke and they think they are going to fix them on the road side LOL LOL LOL.
You are so right. In some forms, if you replace the Asian people with middle European ones and recolor the white buildings to grey, add more Barkas and Trabant, Wartburg and Lada to the streets, it could be from the GDR. The "Volkspolizei" acted in the same way. If they were in a bad mood they'd turn every little thing like this would-be traffic accident into a big story - simply because they could. If you had somethin they wanted (e.g. rare spare parts, bananas, a new sink for your bath room,... or good relations you could fix anything or getting overlooked on purpose when violating the rules. I just can't remember these weird barber shop equipment (at 8:30) in these offices :D
I consider this a good movie. Despite the fact of a severe regime, propaganda enforced country. It's the people that cares about others welfare, that makes up for their country's faults. What really makes a country is it's people, not the government or regime or ruler. It's whats on the inside that counts.
I read most of the cars are imported used cars from Japan. It clearly shows, they drive on the right side of the road with cars built to drive on the left. Japan they drive on the left like Britain. Very interesting movie.
This movie isn't that bad, considering the time period or was made and with ancient film/editing technologies. It is quiet educational and a bit entertaining considering the boring subject matter it is based on, traffic control/violations. I truly wish the world could pitch on and save our North Korean brothers and sisters. God bless them.
Great movie: I think, only 10 cars were for real at the disposal of the film crew. They've been painted and re-painted over and over again to leave the impression, that DPRK has more than 10 cars on their streets.
Since I am a Heung-in Nam-ja Mi-goon who lives in K-6, I also clicked on this video as a joke and ended up watching the entire movie (not before typing this comment). While watching, a few things I thought about: 1. I didn't read the english title of this movie but only the Korean title at first, so for a minute I thought the title of this movie was "Four Way Intersection Traffic Cop" lol, which seems like... 2. I'm guessing North Korea calls their 4 way intersections "Ne-geori" unlike South Korea where most of the 4 way intersections "Sa-geori" (except for a few major cities), although they almost mean the same thing ("Sa" in hangeul = death). I guess for this kind of movie, it's more appropriate. While the Captain was meeting with the other two traffic controllers in their office, she referred to the traffic accident death as "Sa-geori" (those who know hangeul). 3. For a while I thought this was Seoul and not North Korea. The 80's and early 90's shows and movies in South Korea look just like this, from what I know so far. It wasn't until I saw some people wearing Kim Il Sung buttons on their uniforms. 4. I'm not sure but does North Korea and South Korea use different words in hangeul? Most of the words here are the same but I noticed, based off the english translation, that there are a few words that they say in North Korea that is different than South Korea. I'm not sure if thats completely true though.
This is five years late, but in the language in NK is more old fashioned (some say overly polite) than in SK due to the isolation from evil imperialist influences. A little bit similar to Germany when it was separated, they used different words for a varietey of things, e.g. 'cosmonaut' instead of 'astronaut'
yeah but north korea needs a "president", not a "dictator", (aka). It's people need a leader who would support his people, including civilians. A leader who would give his people "freedom" and who would care "about" his people and keep them nourished instead of starving them.
some of the rhetoric in the movie is pretty insane, but the tone is so pleasant! It is really bright. And it gives off this powerful Soviet nostalgia. It is good, I guess, that it is a movie that tries to comfort people rather than enrage and confuse them. I remember soviet movies also sometimes had that charm that you only get when life is frightening and your state is breathing down your neck in a way; it really makes you appreciate and find the opportunities to express something human in art when the standard of art only requires an adequate political message. If you have the talent for it, i guess.
What? In no way did the Soviet government "breathe down your neck" during the Post-Stalin Era after the De-Stalinization period. There was no secret police, nobody was watching your every move, the only thing the KGB did was watch churches (yes, they had churches in Post-Stalinist USSR) for the sake of only making sure that no politician was affiliated with a church.. There were no gulags, no risk of hard labor, no deportation risk, it's really a myth that the 1960's and onward USSR was the same as 1930s-40s USSR... It's like saying NYC today is the same as 18th Century New York...
@@drusik are you joking? first of all, I never said "it was the same before and after "cult of personality" - that's a strawman you're beating on there. But regardless. Have you seen Soviet art? You think people chose happy tractor drivers as the subject matter because they found it inspiring? The marching young pioneers and the red banners just happened to be the artist's favorite thing?

Go find a Pravda from the 60's or 70's and tell me it is printed in a free society where there is no secret police or a governemnt breathing down everyone's neck lol
"How can a man not care for his chauffer and serve the people in the field of science", good grief. He did redeem himself somewhat in asking her her age, yet I see he forgot to ask how much she weighed.
It seems Traffic Police in North Korea,mostly women are really strict according to following the laws and they seem also very pretty good looking. I just wonder how was the government at that time..
Because there was still the Soviet Union, gas and diesel for cars was cheaper, so more people could have a car. Today it's only the super rich or the powerful, since the liter of gas is very expensive.
I actually liked this, it reminds of the old movies we saw in school that tried to put across a moral. For a moment, I thought they'd shoot the traffic offenders... and three generations of their families.
If this were remake in 2016 by south korean, it rocketed from G to NC-17. if the remake were produce by Hollywood, Jack Black will get the Lady role.. The title will change into A Drug Traffic Controller on Borders
Ah the dear Traffic Controller song. The words always bring me to tears, as they extol the virtues of our beloved traffic, as I give the finger to other beloved asshole drivers on our dearly beloved congested streets. That's why in London, we all drive with joy and supreme happiness.
Highly dramatic scenes about the responsibility of traffic girls to warn drivers to follow the rules, so they don't have a terrible accident and have their licenses taken away. The traffic girls dramatically consider their responsibilities, as they reflect their personalities as well as the drivers with whom they come into contact when the girls aren't on duty and the drivers aren't driving. Yes, that is the substance of this movie!
I think this sets a record for the world's longest traffic PSA.
Lol
Red asphalt is a more impactful film or those road safety films they made in the 60's. They show real accident injuries.

You COULDN'T LEAVE THE FUCKING COUNTRY for fuck's sake. There were no "gulags" after Stalin lol. You have no idea what you are talking about dude. Go find a Pravda from the 60's or 70's and tell me it is printed in a free society where there is no secret police or a governemnt breathing down everyone's neck lol
Interesting film
The traffic cop at 4:48 is so cute. I wouldn't mind her giving me a ticket.
@@jamesalexander3530 probably. She is hot though.
North Korea......traffic controller appears more than cars......
And they all lived happily ever after.......................................
"How can a man not care for his chauffer and serve the people in the field of science", good grief. He did redeem himself somewhat in asking her her age, yet I see he forgot to ask how much she weighed.
It seems Traffic Police in North Korea,mostly women are really strict according to following the laws and they seem also very pretty good looking. I just wonder how was the government at that time..
She's first sergeant (sergeant major) not captain.
This would be perfect for the guys at MST3k and their new season on Netflix.
Look at all those cars!!! Was that typical in 1986 Pyongyang? I’ve heard that there were barely any cars later.
Because there was still the Soviet Union, gas and diesel for cars was cheaper, so more people could have a car. Today it's only the super rich or the powerful, since the liter of gas is very expensive.
lol The van driver looked like he had just robbed a bank, and all because he had to meet someone for octopus.
Nice rendering of Chopin during the gymnastics scene:)
I actually liked this, it reminds of the old movies we saw in school that tried to put across a moral.
For a moment, I thought they'd shoot the traffic offenders... and three generations of their families.
Because every office must have a ‘60’s style standing hairdryer.
Thank god this movie is from 1986
If this were remake in 2016 by south korean, it rocketed from G to NC-17. if the remake were produce by Hollywood, Jack Black will get the Lady role.. The title will change into
A Drug Traffic Controller on Borders
Ah the dear Traffic Controller song. The words always bring me to tears, as they extol the virtues of our beloved traffic, as I give the finger to other beloved asshole drivers on our dearly beloved congested streets. That's why in London, we all drive with joy and supreme happiness.
Best Korean movie I've seen so far
I can (and I speak for all of us here) remember the provision No.5 item 4 Section 64 Chapter 6.
Hermosa pelicula donde se muestra el amor por el trabajo y la patria.
Highly dramatic scenes about the responsibility of traffic girls to warn drivers to follow the rules, so they don't have a terrible accident and have their licenses taken away. The traffic girls dramatically consider their responsibilities, as they reflect their personalities as well as the drivers with whom they come into contact when the girls aren't on duty and the drivers aren't driving. Yes, that is the substance of this movie!
Its both amazingly fascinating AND amazingly boring! Watched it to the end, to my surprise...
