ABSTRACT

This paper examines what kind of poetic meaning film images evoke, based on works that appropriate actual film images in Kim Jong-sam's poetry. Poetry works linked to each film are broadly divided into three categories and analyzed into black images, Jewish images, and Indian images. The image of black people is examined in the poem “Black Orphée,” which references the film “Orfeu Negro.” In particular, Kim Jong-sam's interest in the black people is confirmed based on a short review of the movie he left behind. The Jewish image is confirmed through a series of Auschwitz-related poems that reference the fillm “Kapo.” By citing changes in image production before and after the film's release, we discuss how the film influenced the image of Kim Jong-sam's poetry. The image of Indians is examined in the poems “Cheyenne” and “Women of the West” that refer to the films “Cheyenne Autumn” and “Soldier Blue”. It is discussed that the images of the two films were borrowed, but the images were placed in a way that integrated the two films into the poem rather than using the films' narratives or arguments as is. As a result, through the above film images, we studied how an alienated being, the Holocaust, and genocide, which were Kim Jong-sam's poetic interests, operate. These three film images, inspired by movies, have a common characteristic of being a subjugated and underdog group that was historically persecuted by other ethnic groups or races. As a person who experienced war firsthand, poet Kim Jong-sam has constantly denied the enormous violence that ignores the dignity of life and robs humanity of humanity. In the same context, he also showed deep compassion for those who were persecuted by that great violence. This study viewed that poet Kim Jong-sam's thoughts were consistently used in producing poems related to films.
