THE OBSERVATION IN THE PROSPERITY OF KOREAN MOVIE
Abstract: Taking a look at the film industry in the world, Korean films show us their power and prosperity. Even more, confronted with giant Hollywood movies, Korean movies still prospered and thrived in the recent years. This vigorous sign of Korean movies, fortunately, stimulates and inspires nearly all the other Asian native movie industries, when faced with the aggressive challenge from Hollywood. In effect, the key factors of Korean movies’ prosperity lie in their artistic style, and Korean government’s positive aids ranging from domestic regulations to local policies. In the meantime, Korean film industry’s revitalization gives us a number of hints. The most important revelation given by our neighbor is that how Chinese film industry, which shares numerous similar characteristics with Korea such as Eastern Asian geographical and cultural background, can cater for the market, and consequently, reach a new Renaissance.
