Abstract

The family affair in Korean society is one of the most rapidly changing social phenomena and it provides the fundamental cause in various social problems. And the discussion on family culture is linked with art and popular culture. The film, which are in the center of the popular culture, represents the changes in family culture with the basis of graphic languages. Through researches on recent changes in Korean films, these tendencies seemed strengthened. It places the family affair in the center of narrative and tries new perspective with extending family affairs, which are in private area, into public area. It draws the family affairs in Korean society out of the screen and reproduces into social discussions through the process of deformation, crisis and reunion in narratives and structures in styles, which revealed in films. The family culture of Korean society, which represented as a multi-cultural family in the film <Punch>, tries to solve the social problems and the collision between various cultures through forgiving and reuniting of family groups in the crisis of deformation. And it indirectly reveals the social problems with multi-cultural families, disabled people, immigrants and foreign workers who are regarded as social aliens away from normality. So the film shows the ending in a reunion of all different social groups so that derives the social integration, and completes when everyone dwells in the system properly. The representation of multi-cultural family in the film means a social structure which reproduced various cultural aspects in our society. The action of watching the film <Punch> is not just a movie-going but making own perspectives on various social problem which revealed in the film. And those perspectives give them a chance to look back the reality in our society and motivate new approaches. We should consider the true meanings which might concealed with traditions or conventions through the process of looking back our society.
