I just watched “The Interview” with Seth Rogen and James Franco on YouTube. Pretty funny movie, I liked because it reminded me of my childhood. The movie is even funnier after a couple of beers. I can’t really blame Kim Jong Un for getting a bit upset after finding out what is this movie about. I would be afraid too, if I were Kim Jong Un. I would be very afraid. But, “why is that?” - you say. It is just a silly comedy, right? I don’t think so. It is not just a comedy, it is something way deeper than that. If you watch the movie carefully, you will see Пан или пропал written on the side of the turret of the tank that killed the Supreme Leader. Is it really just a random phrase on the tank that supposedly was a gift from Stalin? I don’t think so. You see, ПАН ИЛИ ПРОПАЛ” is a title of criminal TV series based on Polish writer Joanna Chmielewska’s novel, “All in Red.” The choice of inscription on the turret was not random. It was very deliberate. A bit of history here; following the Korean War, the North Korean Government sent about 1,200 orphaned children to be educated in Poland. These little North Koreans were pretty much raised to be Polish. Unfortunately the program was terminated, and every single of these Polonized orphans was pulled back to North Korea. Kim Jong Un is a pretty smart guy, and I bet that he is well aware that “Once a Pole, Always a Pole”, even if you are a North Korean. These 1,200 orphans are all grown up and ready for revolution, and they will coalesce and bring the democracy and the Polish sausage to their country if they get the right call to action. And no wonder that North Korea did everything in their communist power to keep this movie from being released… Word of the Day coalesce \koh-uh-LES\, verb: 1. to blend or come together: Their ideas coalesced into one theory. 2. to grow together or into one body: The two lakes coalesced into one. 3. to unite so as to form one mass, community, etc.: The various groups coalesced into a crowd. 4. to cause to unite in one body or mass. All the small discoveries might soon coalesce into a major breakthrough—even a revolutionary one—but perhaps not in her lifetime, and certainly not bearing her name. -- Deanna Fei, A Thread of Sky, 2010 He is like a child learning what is too hot to touch, and he hopes all this experience will coalesce into a philosophy of life, or at least a philosophy of relationships, that will transform itself into instinct. -- Steve Martin, Shopgirl, 2000 Coalesce comes from the Latin roots co- meaning with and al- which is the stem of alere meaning to nourish, make grow.
