Understanding Lineage of Presidents of Korea

Understanding lineage of presidents of Korea is very easy

     Understanding the current politics of Korea is very easy with this picture. You just take a look at the picture. The short man wearing coat in the middle of the front line was the army general, carried out a military coup, made himself a president for almost 20 years, and finally assassinated by his right-hand man. After short period, an army general, the man with red circle, carried out another military coup, made himself a president. He didn't eager for long-term thing, so only got 1 term, and handed over his power to his friend, an army general who carried out coup with him. He handed over his power to a politician who was in his side. The next 10 years, they had 2 civilian presidents by the people's choice so called democratic election. Both two presidents had something common: they were totally against this lineage of military coup. Again, a politician in their side(I mean them the persons in the picture) had his term and the young woman in the left of the picture with red circle became the president today. She is the daughter of the president who carried oiut first military coup. The political bias of Korean people are mainly devided in two sides. Yes or no with the powers of the persons in the picture. See? Very easy.

Her (2013) by Spike Jonze

Her (2013) Korean Poster

     I've watched this movie three times. I thought it was a marvelous SF film at the first time, I watched again and again, changed my focus to the love between Joaquin Phoenix and OS(Scarlett Johansson), and finally got to the idea that the story of love is no different from the love of real human beings. This movie is about how the love starts, grows, weakens, and ends. I think OS is an anonymous representation of other side of relationship. No matter what the object of love, the aspect of love would be same. In that point of view, this film is much more like "500 days with Summer". And, I must say that this movie is a very good portrait of how a guy affected by love.

Japan claims able to make a war. We ask "For what?"

     From 1947, the Japanese constitution says that "land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained."  Today, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his cabinet declared that the constitution does not mean to avoid Japan having every right to war. US defense officials looks simply happy to use more military force of Japan in coordination of the pacific plan. But people from other countries ask why Shinzo Abe made this decision, because the constitution was an significant promise of Japan not to invade again the Asia during the WWII. Now, the promise is broken.

     "Japan can join the war, in a faraway soil, and even strike first when needed."
     means
     "Japan is able to war"
     "means"
     "Japan wants to join the war"
     means
     "Japan will make an war"
     means 
     "Japan will make an war, sooner or later".

     To the many people of Korea, it is just a declaration of war.

PS: It seems like that US government think they can control and let the Japanese military force follow the Pacific plan of US, but they are wrong. Japan will take advantage of their 'collective defense' for Japan's own sake and benefit.
