영문 초록

Recent Korean cinema have dealt with historical events. Among them, (Kang, Woosuk, 2004) became super blockbuster. manifests ambivalent attitudes about the meaning of 'history' and 'historical event' held by many contemporary south Koreans.

One can be in history, can make history, without paying attention and without understanding. Thus, reflection and reflexivity are a waste of time. denies the hermeneutic necessity of understanding the significance of that larger temporal spread we live and narrativize socially as history or histories. We don't know what it means. Ironic and playful, its thematics, mise-en-scène, and mode of representation make visible the breakdown of the segmentation that secured for us the borders and value between significant and trivial event, between fact and fiction, between experience and its representation.
