에드워드 양 감독 영화에 나타난 재지성(在地性)에 관한 연구

초록

Taiwan’s film industry boasts a history of more than 100 years and has shaped the landscape of Greater China films along with mainland Chinese films, Hong Kong films, and overseas Chinese films. The reason why research and interest in Taiwanese films have increased recently is because the ‘locality’ formed based on Taiwan’s historical and cultural background was clearly revealed in director Edward Yang’s works. He is a world-renowned Taiwanese director and a leading figure in Taiwan’s New Film Movement, and has had a profound impact on Taiwanese and world cinema with his unique way of film creation. This paper seeks to explore the expressive narrative style and meaning of ‘locality’ based on director Edward Yang’s seven and a half films. His work sheds new light on his unique creative artistry through originality in the use of urban space, exploration of memories from the Japanese colonial era, and detailed depiction of youth images. In particular, the ‘locality’ shown in his works promotes Taiwanese culture to the world and forms an international consensus. Edward Yang’s research and practice have value as a deep reflection and record of Taiwan’s modern society and history.
