ABSTRACT

Lee Kwang-soo's "soil," a line of rural novels in the 1930s, is a two-axis epic of "The Rural enlightenment movement and the love triangle." Heo Sung, a high school student from a poor farming village, shows his willingness to enlighten farmers through farming projects and achieve dramatic status victory through marriage to Jeongseon. The study of "soil" is mainly based on the theory of work, and only a fragmentary reference to the filmmaking of the novel "soil" raises the need for a full-scale discussion. Thus, this chapter looks at the aspect of the filming of the novel 'Soil', which was the most frequently filmed novel among Lee Kwang-soo's novels. The reason why Lee has been called to the Korean film industry continuously becomes clearer when he is understood in the context of the times and cultures. Since the mid-1950s, Lee's novels have begun to become popular as the basis for 'Culture Movie,' which continues through the 1960s and the 1970s. Lee's novels have been invited continuously for nearly three decades, except during colonial times. There is an epidemiological relationship with the publishing market, where his literature became prevalent, such as Lee Kwang-soo's constantly loved literary position and the publication of his collection. In addition, Lee's abduction and reinstatement as a national writer, and the nation's state-sponsored 'ethnic enlightenment' and cultural discourse called 'literature film' are complicated by many factors. Lee's novel 'Soil' interacts with cultural discourse at the time, and shows a unique aspect of the novel. In 1960, Soil was portrayed as a film devoted to faithfully moving the original novel to the modern needs of the postwar establishment of a new country, and in 1967, it was a film of literature created by state intervention. Also, the 1978 Soil, which was produced in the dark ages of Korean movies, is a little bit far from the original, with its national policy of emphasizing publicity to avoid double censorship and stimulate public sentiment. As such, the media exhibition of Lee Kwang-soo's novel "Soil" and the movie "Soil" is viewed as having many implications in the era.
