Reliving the Korean Film Renaissance (1950s-1960s)   By Chung Chong-hwa on Oct 28 2014 02:25:12 Vol.6 Winter 2009 After the liberation from Japanese rule in 1945, the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, and the declaration of a cease-fire in 1953, Korean society began its reconstruction phase in earnest. Amidst the wave of Western modernism—best represented by American culture—audiences became enamored with the glamorous American life shown in Hollywood genre films. Poet and literary critic Lim Wha once stated that cinema in the Joseon era first began by “cooperating with different neighboring cultures.” In fact, throughout its history, Korean cinema has constantly negotiated and merged with different art forms. It probably goes without saying that Korean cinema has always maintained a close relationship with literature. Traditional classic novels that are familiar to native Koreans, popular novels including newspaper serials, and literary fiction, which guaranteed the artistic level of the film, were always in constant demand from the film industry.
