Known infamously as the "hermit country," North Korea is a highly introverted state that very little information comes out of. From the footage and testimonies that are available, the country is viewed as a totalitarian state with major government control held over its people, who receive little care and necessary resources. Flashy propaganda shines on the walls of its buildings to this day, spreading anti-Western philosophies. There are numerous military officials posted in every corner of the state, envisioning the iron fist of the government. The Interview directly criticizes the deceiving way of life in North Korea, showing the oppression of the state's citizens.
Sony Pictures is the American motion picture subsidiary of Sony, one of the most recognizable electronics brand in the world. While the electronics portion of their business is primarily handled by the Japanese, Sony Pictures is entirely operated by an American staff. Its headquarters is located in Culver City, California, near the rolling hills of entertainment-capital Los Angeles. Sony Pictures distributes a number of its films through Columbia pictures, of which sprung The Interview. Columbia, who had been around since the beginning of cinema, was obtained by Sony in 1989, and the company has seen its biggest success during this time. Columbia produces a very high amount of films each year, and as a result the workplace is known to be bustling.
