What Good News, the new Netflix movie, is about
Good News is based on a real event to tell a story that is far from traditional drama. A japanese plane He is kidnapped by the Red Army Faction. Your demand: fly to North Korea. What follows is a diplomatic disaster as three countries try to handle the crisis with no idea how to do it.
The film revolves around a group of “experts” who must land the plane without causing a tragedy. But their decisions, instead of providing solutions, add to the absurdity. In this story, the bureaucracy is also the enemynot just the kidnappers.
The film mocks international diplomacy, showing South Korea, Japan and the United States engaged in a battle of egos, more interested in looking good than in saving lives. In the midst of the chaos, the passengers become pawns in a geopolitical game where each move is more ridiculous than the last.
