The last century was a changeable one. Some ethnic groups have been devastated by the war, some ethnic groups have benefited from the war, and some ethnic groups have been occupied for many years. Korean ethnic groups are occupied ethnic groups. From 19 10, the Korean peninsula became a colony of Japan, and it was not until the end of World War II that Japan surrendered that the Korean peninsula became independent. During this long occupation period, we can imagine how difficult and depressed the life of the Korean people is. Obviously it is the land of one's own country, but it is forced to welcome unwelcome people. And the movie Arirang was born in this situation.
The folk song Arirang tells a love story, but in the movie Arirang, the song Arirang is full of sadness. 1926 The movie Arirang tells the story of Yong-jung, who was mad by the Japanese police and killed that person because someone wanted to invade his sister. Yong-jung, who was taken away by the police, kept singing the song Arirang. The film gives the song Arirang more meaning, and Arirang is no longer a love song. Movies and songs have aroused the patriotic feelings of the Korean people who long for national independence and peace.
Today, although the Korean peninsula has become two countries, Arirang, which has a long history, is still the representative song of the two countries, and that history will not be forgotten.
