‘붉은 수수밭’ : 모옌(莫言)과 장이머우(張藝謀) 혹은 소설과 영화에 관한 어떤 탐구

Abstract

This paper is a study on a midium-length novel, Red Sorghum by Moyan and the film of same name was adapted by Zhang yimou. At first, before consideration of comparison difference between two texts, I try out some arrangements the relationship of novel and cinema. It is a work that according to a foundation of general understanding about that. Although there are very abundant study about that, it is within bounds to say that comparisons of specific texts have erred on side that a cinema which has origin work followed that work, novel or not. I think, it is better that a cinema which has origin work has to be understood as a independent work than considering whether the cinema followed origin novel or not. The second, the reason why two texts have necessity to meet, it has to be understood on external side, not immanence of elements in two texts. In this case, that external elements is concentrated on the conditions of China in 1980s. It made some consensus between two Red Sorghums: I think, the seeking for cultural roots was a most important element about that. At last, through that internal scenary of two texts, for example, point of view of novel and narrator of film, the time and space, characters, and segment of two texts, I try the film Red Sorghum has failed to establishing probability of its own narrative.
