Abstract
Parody refers to a criticism or comic imitation of the original work or social situation by exaggerating the weakness or seriousness of the original widely-known work to the public. Woody Allen’s Manhattan Murder Mystery is a parody of Hitchcock’s Rear Windowand Vertigo, as well as The Lady from Shanghai directed by Orson Welles. He took the settings of Rear Window and Vertigo and used them as components of the narrative and visually reproduced the Lady from Shanghai by using the footage. The parody of Manhattan Murder Mystery is similar to a direct parody that satires and criticizes the original works. This parody is permitted by the court as fair use under the Copyright Act of South Korea. However, given that each part of the Hitchcock films imitated by Woody Allen is limited to ideas rather than the realm of expression, it will not be judged as an infringement of copyright under the law even if the fair use of the work is not mobilized.
