Korean films on Japanese colonization garner much popularity and success in recent years

항일영화 역사와 최근에 부는 흥행 이유 Koreans love the cinema experience Numbers and research back up this fact. A closer look reveals... films based on the country's history of struggles and triumph against Japan's oppressive colonial rule... tend to receive rave reviews... as they strike a chord with viewers. Lee Ji-won delves deeper into this formula through some of the recent hits at the local box office. The movie "The Battleship Island", also known as "Kunhamdo" in Korean, released just over a week ago,... is based on actual historical background regarding Japan's Hashima Island, where some 800 Koreans were forced to labor during World War II. While the island in the southwest of Japan is a symbol of the country's rapid industrialization, it's also a painful reminder of Japan's colonization of Korea. The movie received much attention in Korea,... becoming the fastest film to surpass the 5 million ticket mark at the box office this year. It's part of a recent trend of Korean movies set during Japan's colonial rule of Korea from 1910 to the end of the Second World War. "Assassination", by director Choi Dong-hoon, and released in 2015... is about a group of Korean independence fighters who plot against Imperial Japan. It attracted over 10 million domestic viewers. "Spirits' Homecoming" directed by Cho Jung-lae and released in 2016 tells the story of Korean women sexually enslaved by Japanese soldiers before and during World War Two. Considering how the movie was not made for commercial entertainment,... it was a box office success. "It was very painful to watch the movie, "Spirits' Homecoming" because those victims were young girls of my age or even younger when they were sexually enslaved. But I think movies like these are a good opportunity for viewers to really learn the history and face the painful past." "Our country was colonized by Japan for over 30 years, so there are a lot of stories to tell. But rather than hating the Japanese,... I hope these movies help people remind themselves of the hardships our country had to endure, and really come together to love and develop our country." From the sexual enslavement of Korean women, to forced labor and even the indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians, Japan's colonial rule left Koreans with deep scars. And while these films serve as a historical record, they are also a cathartic channel to relief a collective sense of anger and dispair. "Anarchist from Colony", which opened in June,... depicts the true story of independence activist Park Yeol, who was accused by the Japanese colonial government of trying to assassinate the Japanese crown prince,... as an attempt to divert the attention from a mass killing of some 6-thousand Koreans.
