Intertextual Dynamics in Ode to My Father: Competing Narratives of the Nation and the People
Journal Title: International Journal of Korean History - Year 2015, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
Recently, films based on a specific historical figure or background are smashing South Korean box office records. For example, over 10 million viewers flocked to watch each of the following films: The Attorney (released December 2013, 11 million viewers), The Admiral: Roaring Currents (released July 2014, 17 million viewers), and Ode to My Father (released December 2014, 13 million viewers as of December 6th 2014). These films are also embroiled in a heated ideological debate between political conservatives and progressives.
