Abstract
Purpose the present study attempted to explore the movie <Voice of Silence> as a research topic with the coverage of extensive social issues, and explores how masks and make-up are used in the film. The researcher adopted Masashiro’s Uncanny Valley, Semiotics from Saussure, and Fred’s psychoanalysis to analyze implicit meanings derived from masks and make-up. This paper showed that masks help elicit the inherent and explicit characteristics of Cho-hee, a leading actress in the Movie. This character depicts a detailed and overall image of the protagonist. In addition, make-up displays how the implicit personality of the main actor, Tae-in, has changed. It helps us understand the direction of Tae-in's inner. On the surface, the meaning of hope for the world was derived from a new perspective. Moreover, the research explores social issues associated with socialism in multiple ways to identify and demonstrate class discrimination, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the predominance of men over women shown in the Movie.
