「개화당이문」의 시나리오 형성 방식과 영화사적 위상에 대한 재고再考

Abstract

Gaehwadang Imun announced in 1932 was a work that attracted attention in the Korean(Choseon) film world at that time, and it was a movie that required observation even at the movie biography on Na Un-kyoo. However, to date, the research and analysis of this Gaehwadang Imun in the history of Korean movies has remained epidermal. The reason is because of lack of film and lack of script. Meanwhile, another reason is based on the evaluation of the time and the impressions of the people concerned. It is difficult to confirm the reality of the film work if the film is not actually left. So in the course of the research, the work is superficially treated, or not properly assessed by prejudice. Therefore, from a standpoint different from the existing research, it is necessary to access Gaehwadang Imun. Fortunately, the scenario(synopsis) of Gaehwadang Imun has been discovered, which allows us to confirm the approximate form of incident progress and the overall flow of the plot. In addition to the related retrospective of Na Un-kyoo, the source documents which were referred to when constructing the scenario, related photographs and various testimonies were discovered. Based on these evidence it is necessary to see the full context of Gaehwadang Imun, naturally the basis was secured for the chance of being able to do this study. In this research, I explored the form and aesthetic characteristics of Gaehwadang Imun, and based on these results, I discussed the reasonable status of Korean film Gaehwadang Imun in the history of Korean film.
