전기(傳記)로 전승되는 시간— 영화 <매염방>을 중심으로

Abstract

This article analyzes how the film Anita describes a biographical character named Anita, a representative star in Hong Kong’s film industry, the era in which she lived, and the cultural environment of Hong Kong. Therefore, I focused on the format in which the film was reproduced to reproduce Anita and Hong Kong’s aura. “Anita” features important figures in the Hong Kong film industry, as well as secondary characters such as actress Leslie Jang and her sister in “The Giant Flashback.” They are not just reconstructed as peripheral characters surrounding the protagonist, but form an important context and symbol of the environment of Hong Kong(film) at the time. The aesthetic experimentation as a biopic of the history of “Anita” is not noticeably strong. This film reinterprets the time of the past, functions as a content of post-memory that forms a common discourse base that is lost or absent in reality, creates sentiment to transmit the temporality of a specific Hong Kong(film), and now drives the public to think about Hong Kong’s political agenda.
