Donald Trump played Kim Jong-un bizarre ‘fake movie trailer’ showing NK in a post-nuke world
The glitzy show-reel featuring shots of the Great Pyramids and dictator Kim projected onto a giant screen in New York's Times Square, isn't expected to win any Oscars
DONALD Trump showed Kim Jong-un a bizarre fake movie trailer showing a vision of what North Korea would look like if it ditched nuclear weapons.
His glitzy show-reel featured cheesy narration, an image of dictator Kim projected onto a giant screen in New York’s Times Square and lots and lots of montages.
The strange four minute clip, which isn’t expected to be nominated for any Oscars, opened with a fake studio logo for the imaginary “Destiny Pictures”.
A growling narrator says: “Destiny Pictures presents a story of opportunity. A new story, a new beginning.
“Two men, two leaders, one destiny.”
The heavy-handed movie shows ominous black and white footage of fighter jets and armies, representing what will happen if Kim makes the wrong choice.
Then there is an actual countdown, warning of the threat of nuclear annihilation.
Next we see Don and Kim smiling, their images playing in Times Square.
Then follows lots of strange montages – the sun rising over the Earth, a basketball player slam dunking, horses running across a body of water and flash speed boats.
The dramatic voice over says there is one chance to “re-write history, to shine in the sun, one choice – what if?”
It ends: “The future remains to be written.”
“We had it made up. I showed it to him today, actually during the meeting, toward the end of the meeting and I think he loved it,” Trump said during a news conference.
Trump said the video was played for about eight members of the North Korean delegation and he “thought they were fascinated by it.”
The President added: “That could very well be the future. I showed it because I really want him to do something.”
Trump, who starred on NBC’s reality show ‘The Apprentice’ before entering politics, told reporters he was “not concerned at all” that the film could be used as propaganda, adding, “We could use that video for other countries.”
It wasn’t the first time video. was used as a way to connect with Kim.
At the end of a summit in April on the southern side of the Demilitarised Zone between the Koreas, Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in watched a highly produced video, backed by inspirational music, that highlighted the ceremonies they had just conducted during the day.
During his exchanges with Trump, Kim seemed to buy into the cinematography of their unlikely meeting, saying through a translator, “many people in the world that will think of this as a scene from a … science fiction movie.”
