Movie Industry in Korea


9/22 – In the United States movies are a very important piece of culture. In your country is there a huge movie industry? Do people in your country prefer to watch national films or foreign films? If they prefer foreign films what country do those films come from? Do you prefer your national movies or foreign films? What is your favorite movie?

In case of Korea, we could not find a huge movie industry like in the United States.
However, D- war is produced by Sim Hyung-Rae in 2007 and a first run on the Unite States and Korea at the same time. That affair means improvement in Korea movie industry.
The reason of that, the D-war has a spectacle story about the Korea legend about a dragon and many Koreans expect how much is expressed well in his films. Sim Hyung-Rae was a famous comedian and suddenly he announced his retirement at the period of prosperity and to become the movie director. He made the SF movies, totally failed despite of his efforts. However, he did not give up his dream to make a perfect movie which is expressed like as real. The reason of that, the subject matter in his movie are dragons or dinosaurs. This skill could not come up the United States had So that he decided to accept this skill from the United States. He spent much time for editing the D-war even though the last movies were not greeted by audiences. When the D-war was introduced in public, many Koreans showed enthusiastic reaction to him and longed for to see what he achieved. He was becoming a hero through his movie as the war in Korea. After Koreans watch the D-war, many Koreans criticize about the war what they felt. Some Koreans are satisfied his attempt and passion otherwise, the other Koreans are disappointed at uncompleted story. Lately the war is issued in Korea but nobody can estimate a harsh criticism because of his fervor against the editing movie .
