<백두산이 보인다>와 항일무장투쟁 영화

I Can See Mount Baekdu and The Anti-Japanese Armed Struggle Film

I Can See Mount Baekdu is the first film based on Kim Il-sung s struggle against Japan. In the mid-1950s, North Korea emphasized the production of children s films in order to cultivate the posterity of the revolution. The film made at this time is I Can See Mount Baekdu, adapted from Han, Seolya s representative work The History. The film was directed by Kim, Rakseop, who finished studying in Moscow, and Yoon, Dooheon, vice-chairman of the Chosun Writers Alliance, adapted the original work of Han, Seolya. Also, famous actors boasting in North Korea at the time, such as Moon, Yebong, Kang, Hongsik, and Yu, Wonjun, appeared. This film did not highlight the role of Kim, Ilsung as a leader by setting children member Hocheol as the main character. Also, the efforts of the anti-Japanese guerrillas were not properly described. Nevertheless, the fact that it was a work that dealt with the anti-Japanese armed struggle in earnest and that it was based on the biographical facts about the anti-Japanese armed conflict was considered an important achievement. This evaluation of the time became a movie that cannot be mentioned as the adaptor Yoon, Dooheon and the original author Han, Seolya were purged. Even now, when Han, Seolya was reinstated, this film has been deleted as if it had never existed in the history of movies described in North Korea.
