불황, 표절, 공모 : 1970년대 영화 산업과 국가의 관계를 중심으로

Abstract

The recession in the film world in the 1970s was a conclusion and alibi in the film history of the 1970s. In terms of exclusion in film studies as well as the qualitative level of films, the recession of the film world in the 1970s was a major cause that impoverished the film history of the times. Especially, film censorship in the 1970s consolidated its dominating position as a trade-off blocking the growth of film art as it was considered to have played a big role in contributing to the recession. However, from an ‘industrial’ aspect of films, the recession in the 1970s was not a cause but a result. Thus, the view of the film world can also reestablish the relationship between the state and the film industry. This is because, at this time, there has been much effort in the film world to overcome the recession at the time, and that the characteristics of the state censorship could be found, which was conducted within the range in which the production costs already spent could be guaranteed to the maximum. It was remarkable, especially in the area of plagiarism. The awareness of copyright of the times was in line with the issue of choosing the national status in spite of the economic loss, and both the state and the film world would avoid the former by giving up the latter. Like this, the poor awareness of copyright led to plagiarism, and the state accepted these films based on cinematic achievement or for the guarantee of a box office hit although it knew that they were plagiarized during the process of censorship. In other words, it is noted that the film world and the state, which were headed in the same direction, the overcoming of the recession, attempted a proper conspiracy.
