“서편제”의 영화적 특성

Abstract

This thesis is a study on the characteristics of the novel-based film “Seopyeonje”. Compared to novels, movies have a stronger role of sound and video. In the case of the movie “Seopyeonje”, the sound goes beyond the background to the thematic function. While singing is only a partial explanation of the story in the novel, “Chunhyangga” and “Shimcheongga” in “Seopyeonje” are the main stories that lead the first and second half of the movie, respectively. The video of “Seopyeonje” also plays a role in leading the story, not just assisting the story. he last scene of the movie “Seopyeonje” is one of the best scenes in Korean film history created by combining sound and video. The final sequence of the film is a scene in which only singing sound and video are used to solve the pain and sadness(losing parents early, affair, incestuous desire, family breakdown, love, separation, death, and despair) entangled in all the stories of the film. The scene where Song-hwa sings and Dong-ho hits the drum expressed the process of unraveling all their resentments.
