1960년대 산업화 시대와 영화의 정체성－윤리적 질서 구축을 위한 멜로 영화－

Abstract

This writing focuses on the identity of industrial modernization and films in 1960's. 1960's, so called 'the prosperity of films' when numerous films were produced can be considered as a period for seeking new cinematic attempts, combined with industrial modernization. Therefore, the purpose of this writing is to examine how the identity of films changed according to the regime's ideology, relating industrial modernization and a remarkable growth and development of film industry upheld by the general Park Jung-hee's regime. As a number of films were produced during the period, the aspects of the regime's ideology vary. However, this writing discussed the establishment process of the ethics of family community, focusing on melo films. Family community can be regarded as a minimum unit that justified the dominant principle of the general Park Jung-hee's regime that focused on the establishment of a nation-state based on nationalism. Therefore, new reconstruction of family community reflecting the regime's ideology appeared in films in 1960's. Concretely, during the 1960's, it is noticeable that pre-modern patriarchs negotiated with new modern orders, coming into conflict with new generations that internalized modernized values as well as modern middle-class nuclear families were established. In addition, during the process, family community that acquired ethics was established by excluding or improving women considered as dishonest elements in society or factors that threatened the ethical orders of a family. Especially, as subordinate subjects of women such as a maidservant, a gisaeng, a bar girl, and etc were considered as elements that threatened a paterfamilias of stable middle-class families as well as whole family community, it is understood that women became the bare essentials to establish social ethical orders through the process. In films, family community actively established its base firmly through those women known as dangerous elements. During the first half of 1960, the unstable women's situation that threatens the formation of family community and its community expands to whole society and works as a material foundation to establish ethical orders for whole society. Furthermore, it is meaningful that it played an active role in emphasizing and reinforcing the ideology of the general Park Jung-hee's regime.
