＜써니＞와 리메이크 영화 ＜양광저매도＞에서 나타난 한ㆍ중 문화 재현의 굴절

Abstract

Various materials are being used in the pursuit of understanding different cultures. In particular, the analysis of media such as TV dramas, entertainment programs and movies have proven to be useful in this endeavour. Media such as the above can be utilised for research and learning purposes, and are especially useful due to their visual elements that can be codified. In other words, these media types become a vessel for which culture is transmitted, transformed and received by the viewer. This study was conducted using an original Korean film and its Chinese remake. In the process of being remade in a secondary country, certain cultural elements are omitted, added and revised. This study examines whether substitution or addition has occurred and examines the differences in values ​​between South Korea and China. Through this study, we attempt to explore how culture and all that is found therein is transmitted or transformed in the original and the remake. Differences in values ​​between South Korea and China are reflected in their execution of the film, and by shedding light upon these differences we take a step further towards understanding the inner workings and implications on communication in each culture. The comparison will also allow us better understand deeply entrenched the cultural nuances that dictate Chinese communication.
