구로사와 아키라의 종전(終戰) 직후 영화에 나타난 ‘전후’의 표상

초록

Akira Kurosawa’s six post-war films depict the chaos, moral decay, and recovery in post-war Japan through symbolic spaces and character dynamics. In No Regrets for Our Youth and One Wonderful Sunday, locations like Mount Yoshida and ruined lots contrast hope with oppression and hardship, reflecting youth ideals and societal challenges. Similarly, Drunken Angel and The Quiet Duel use spaces like the black market, swamp, and clinics to symbolize moral decay, societal corruption, and ethical recovery. In Stray Dog and Scandal, settings such as the black market, theaters, and courtrooms expose post-war contradictions, economic disparity, and the struggle for truth. Characters like Sanada, Fujisaki, and Aoe embody moral resilience, while figures like Masako represent hope and purity amidst chaos. Kurosawa’s films emphasize the necessity of ethical responsibility and human resilience, offering a vision of recovery in post-war Japan’s fractured society.
