A Comparative Analysis about the Community and Filial Piety as Shown in the Goryeojang and The Ballad of Narayama

The present thesis involved the The Ballad of Narayama(1958) by Kinosita Keisuke, the Goryeojang(1963) by Kim Gi-young and the The Ballad of Narayama(1982) by Imamura Syohei, to compare the movie's description about the community and the filial piety. For this purpose, a basic study was carried out about the trends of the works by the three directors, about the social environments when the movies were released, and also about the 'Giro story'. The result showed that Japan in 1958, Korea in 1963 and Japan in 1982 had unique social characteristics, and that the ‘Giro story’ was widespread from India to all over the eastern Asia. The movies of the three directors, which have similar subjects and themes as well as similar background stories, however, were different from one another according to the director's view of the world. Regarding ‘community’ and ‘filial piety’, the three works said as follows: As to the issue of the community, the director Kinosita thought that only the spirit of community could overcome the severe poverty, based on the postwar experience of resolving the problems of disorder and poverty, achieving the economic growth; while the director Imamura took the community as 'a complex place with a minimum role' On the other hand, Kim Gi-yeong described the community as an object which was threatening or was to be overcome. As to the issue of the filial piety also, the director Kinosita considered the filial piety as a subordinate concept to the community's group, as a personal emotion of love and sorrow; while the director Imamura Syohei seemed to consider the filial friendship as the practical pathos (the source of haman mind) which goes beyond personal level to overcome social regulations while accepting the futility of life. To Kim Gi-young, the community seemed to be an oppressive order that did not allow the filial piety, in the situation of the collision between filial piety and community. Through this research it was found that the directors took similar themes or subjects with different views, so a comparative study was attempted on the Korean and Japanese movies.
