Důvody znázornění násilí v jihokorejských filmech

This thesis examines the reasons for the depiction of violence in South Korean cinema and focuses on the perception and understanding of South Korean films by Western audiences. South Korean cinema, renowned for its evocative and often intense depictions of violence, has attracted considerable international attention, raising questions about the reasons behind these representations. Using mixed research methods, including content analysis of selected South Korean films, analysis of data from international film festivals, audience surveys and revenue analysis, this study critically examines the link between depictions of violence and its reception on the global stage. By analyzing these elements, the thesis seeks to uncover possible misconceptions of Western audiences and contribute to a broader understanding of the complex dynamics that shape the international image of Korean cinema.
