So, this 2022 documentary, 'World's Largest Rocket Builder,' dives into a quirky slice of modern geopolitics and ambition. Kicking off with the spectacle of Kim Jong-un unveiling this massive mobile rocket in 2020, it sets a bizarre yet fascinating backdrop. Then you've got Jippe Liefbroer, a student whose creative itch leads him to craft a 31-meter rocket for his grad project—just a smidge longer than Kim's pride. The pacing is, well, a mix of slow contemplation and bursts of creativity, reflecting the tension of the subject matter. It’s intriguing to see how the themes of competition and human ingenuity play out against such a grandiose stage. The practical effects involved in rocket modeling are surprisingly engaging, adding an unexpected layer to the narrative. Not your typical doc, for sure.
