The Schoolgirl's Diary is a 2006 film from North Korea that played at the Cannes Film Festival. It was lucky enough to be distributed internationally via a French company. It's one of only a handful of North Korean films to be shown commercially outside of that country.Kim Su-ryeon (played by Mi-hyang Pak) is a teenaged Naïve Everygirl who is upset that her scientist father is never around. She's frustrated that he has failed to obtain a doctorate, which would allow the family to move out of their ramshackle house and into a fancy apartment. She also doesn't understand why her mother is so okay with it. Su-ryeon's younger sister, Su-ok, is a promising soccer star at their school. Eventually, Su-ryeon's father makes a breakthrough of some kind, and she realizes the importance of selfless devotion to the State. | |

A Friend in Need: Everybody looks out for each other in the socialist utopia of North Korea, which is why the rest of the neighborhood makes the Kims a new chimney after theirs collapses. | |

Rule of Symbolism | |
| The Schoolgirl's Diary / int_916c72b3 | comment |
Rule of Symbolism: Su-ryeon's father is an obvious stand-in for Kim Jong-il, wisely and selflessly working for the betterment of everyone. Su-ryeon is the average North Korean citizen who selfishly wants the Dear Leader all to herself. She must learn that he's too busy to help everyone all the time. Since the producer was apparently Kim Jong-il himself, this might mean the father technically qualifies as a Canon Sue. | |

When You Coming Home, Dad? | |
| The Schoolgirl's Diary / int_99e87707 | comment |
When You Coming Home, Dad?: Su-ryeon's father gets portrayed as being in the right for this, as his science career gets equated with The Needs of the Many. | |

| The Schoolgirl's Diary / int_9a3b7208 | comment |
The Needs of the Many: Don't be so selfish and expect your father to be around! He's working for the Dear General; he can't be distracted with piddling nonsense like your mother going under the knife for colon cancer. | |

Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: Well, it's a good reason according to the film. Su-ryeon's father disappears for years at a time, which is okay because he's working for the glorious State and Dear General. | |

A Minor Kidroduction | |
| The Schoolgirl's Diary / int_ef20d7bc | comment |
A Minor Kidroduction: The opening scene features a six-year-old Su-ryeon. Significantly, the first shot is of her Mickey Mouse backpack, probably symbolizing Western capitalistic doodads that Su-ryeon wants so much. | |

Food Porn: Maybe not by Western standards, but enough for you to get the impression that the film is yelling, "Hey, look at how much food we have! Our nation is so prosperous and not starving at all!" | |
