Watching Humint,it really reminded me of the movie My Name Is Loh Kiwan ,from their cinematography to the themes they focus on.Both movies deal with life under the North Korean regime and show how it affects the people living there.Both movies show two different points of view:Humint focuses on a South Korean agent on his mission in Russia,while My Name Is Loh Kiwan tells the story from the perspective of a North Korean refugee who tries to build a new life in Belgum. For cinematography,both movies often use cold or very bright colors to give the scenes more emotion.
Both films chronicle the journeys of individuals trying to survive in countries without legal status. In both, the leads are scraping by on the very fringe of society where theft, scamming, poverty and violence are common to life. Both dramas show us characters who are struggling against the governments' unreasonable restraints on illegal aliens to earn money just to survive, as they also strive to work through the system to achieve legitimacy.
