industry. In particular, newly emerging genre films evince the increasing importance of producing
commercially appealing movies. While catering to the mainstream taste of mass audiences through
genre conventions, similar plots, and seemingly repetitive stories, however, many genre films still
try to address social issues and engage in serious conversations about contemporary Korean
society with their audiences. Choose TWO films from the list, and discuss what particular social
issues they attempt to explore and how each film employs and/or challenges their respective genre
conventions in dealing with such issues. Be sure to cite at least TWO essays from the list below.
Films: Attack the Gas Station, Whispering Corridors, King and the Clown, Ode to My Father
Essays:
1)Abelmann & Choi, “Just Because: Comedy, Melodrama and Youth Violence in Attack the
Gas Station!”
2)Choi, The South Korean Film Renaissance (esp. Chapters 3, 4 & 5)
3) Chung Sung-Ill, “Four Variations on Korean Genre Film: Tears, Screams, Violence and
Laughter”
3. Throughout the term, instead of considering contemporary Korean cinema as separate, isolated
national film tradition, we have endeavored to probe it within the global framework. Using TWO
films from the list and drawing on lecture materials and class discussions, discuss ways in which
contemporary Korean cinema has interacted with other national film cultures as well as global film
trends. How does this interaction (or interactions) affect Korean cinema in terms of industrial
practice, style, content, their global reception, and so on? Again, be sure to refer to at least TWO
essays from the list.
