In the novel Invisible Man, the narrator is expelled from the college university of which he was attending. Even though he was a great student, he makes a series of mistakes while giving a white trustee of the university a tour of the school's country side. The narrator exposes him to a local farmer who has performed incest on his own daughter and an all black salon full of mental patients.

Since his expelling from the university, the narrator was then sent to work in New York to work for a year. Ultimately promised that if he is to find a job and work he may return back to the university. 

This same scenario in Invisible Man has a correlation with that of the film The Interview. In the film, two reporters are sent to North Korea to interview Kim Jung-un. Upon their arrival all seems well within the country at first glance. The people are happy, prospering, and living no form of tribulations. But in actuality they are not. Once the reporters get a real glimpse of the country they see for themselves what is actually going on within the country. They see people starving, living in fear of their government. Their only reason for acting as though everything was okay was to delight the outside world over fear of what could possibly happen if they did not.

This is an exact representation of what is going on within this novel. From the outside it may seem as a thriving college university located in an area full of educated invidiuals. When in actuality it is like any other place that has its own inner demons. They attempt to cover up reality but when someone of importance sees for themselves the true atrocities that are happening, that idea could soon change. Reminiscent of what Kim Jung-un was attempting to do in The Interview as to that of those running the university.
