<저기 소리없이 한 점 꽃잎이 지고>와 영화 <꽃잎>의 비교연구

Abstract

Just as a book gives a reader infection of heart – touching, Choi Yoon’s novel, [There A Petal falls…] shows exactly the writer’s intention to show the route to secret infection of historical events to many people though a hero with tragic experiences. Through each different views of ‘The girl’, ‘Jang’, and ‘we’, the novel shows meaning of this historical event ‘Gwangju Struggle’ very effectively while there exists all varying views and attitudes from actual experience, rumors, or no interest. And this novel reveals change of a character’s consciousness by following a process of mental change through each views. The writer did a good placement of metaphor and symbolization of the girl’s mind status by showing her primitive fear, a feeling of helplessness, and rage caused by a feeling that nobody is around herself. And then, it shows her mental process to embrace people around her. The movie [A petal] by Jang Sun woo, gains both good and bad criticism due to his strong desire to make [Gwangjoo Struggle] a film and characteristics of a film that contains popularity, while his most desire was to follow the original story. Some criticize that it is too sentimental to expect a fair interpretation of this historical event. Some, who knew the original novel or who heard that this film only takes the ‘May Struggle’ as background, criticize that image of Gwangjoo Struggle invades the whole film. This is partially caused by Jang Sun Woo’s two different types of desires but also there was no deep consideration how to transfer the process of characters’ consciousness, which considered to be the core in the original novel, into the film image. It did not show the enough depth of characters’ change of mind set, by only showing their minds in flat image.
