Abstract

1935 is the year when <Chunhyangjeon>, the first talkie movie was produced togive a boost to movie industry. However, movie circle had to face dark age in 1940when ‘Decree for Chosun Movie’ was proclaimed. ‘Decree for Chosun Movie’, which was a law corresponding to the war ofaggression promoting the union between Korea and Japan, was a strong controlingpolicy to domain whole movie circle. Its main content was obliged to show the movie topropagate Japan and was to limit to import or show foreign movies. In addition, theregulation to force the movieman to be registered and their function to be examined,made the movieman restricted in his activities. Under the Japanese’s policy of suppression and control, pro-Japanese groupsemerged in this field. They took a lead to support Japanese policy and annihilatenational culture. Especially, in 1942, Joseon Film Production Corporation was foundedin exchange for forcing to shut down most Jeseon film companies and neutralizing amovie circle. Indeed end of Japanese colonial era was a wrethed period when Koeanmoviemen were conspicuously suppressed. Pro-Japanese films were produced initialized by <Military Train> in 1938. <Homeless Angel> (Cho In-kyu, in 1941) was based on an orpha. nge named Hyangrinwon and raised an issue of colonial policy of subjecting to Japan of the union of Korea and Japan. <Spring of Korean peninsular> (Lee Byung-il, in1941) showed a poor film industry and a robber baron to propagate Jeseon Film Act. <AVolunteer> (An Sok-young, in 1941) and <Jeseonhaehyup> (Park Gi-chae, in 1943)propagated a volunteer system. In particular, all of them had pro-Japanese scenesthroughout the movies and <Joseonhaehyup> was produced in Japanese. Through thesefour movies, the story and the type of other pro-Japanese films can be figured out.
