Abstract

This study focuses on the films “Another's Melody(2014)”, “Dream Jane(2016)”, and “Park Hwa-young(2018)”, which are based on “Gachulfam” among independent youth films of the 2010s. The aim was to examine the aspects of reproduction and their meanings. Movies dealing with youth deviance continue to exist throughout this age. The meaning of runaway, which was understood as rebellion and beating, changed with the times, and “Gachulfam” became a precarious youth in the 2010s. In this situation, this study noted that the appearance of the “Gachulfam” made by adolescents from post-family families can be interpreted as a way of living and revealing their consciousness in the reality of crisis. First, the “home” as a fluid and open space created by the youth of the three “Gachulfam” films reveal the fear of isolation and causes relationship obsession. Second, the “Gachulfam” made by the youth is a kind of abnormal family that is not recognized in the existing society. However, owing to the irresponsible and incomplete appearance of adults, including parents, teenagers are gaining an upper hand in power relations and the positivity of family building. Third, these families are completed by re-calling the “dedicated mother”. However, the pursuit of motherhood, which appears in “Gachulfam”, stands at a different point from the existing maternal ideology that led to the establishment of patriarchal authority for the survival of the family. Therefore, it is meaningful because it has the possibility of an incomplete but new family.
