영화로 보는 시대적 감정: 한국의 에로영화･대만의 리얼리즘 영화･중국의 페이크 다큐에 나타난 연애와 혁명의 이중변주

Abstract

In the space of society, ‘above’ and ‘below’ constantly collide again and again. Therefore, the times’ emotions of this era are created at the moment when ‘emotional works’ from above collide with ‘emotional expressions’ shouted from below. Based on this premise, this study attempted to capture the emotions of several specific eras through films. And explored loves and revolutions revealed during three important periods in the process of modernization of the three regions of East Asia: Korea, Taiwan, and China. First, in the 1980s of Korea, the new military government took control of the country. This time was defined as a ‘chapter of love and revolution’ since numerous erotic films appeared when dictatorial policies from above clashed with democratic ideas from below. This study focused on the special emotions expressed by young people in those times. Second, in the early 1990s of Taiwan, martial law and the White Terror, which lasted for over 30 years, finally ended and the realism films about the history of the White Terror were made over a long period of time. This study analyzed how young people’s revolutionary emotions are expressed through love stories in Taiwan’s realism films. In the end, this study paid attention to the Covid-19 pandemic in China. When the subtle sense of rebellion that arose from below met the lockdown policy and the ‘zero Covid policy’ from above, how did people ‘disguise’? This study tried to find out how Chinese young people did the ‘cold love’ and ‘cold revolution’ through fake documentaries made in the early 2020s.
