After analyzing the available movie materials, periodical publications, contemporaries’ memories the authors conclude that silent films of the mentioned period were basically melodramas but some Korean directors, escaping the Japanese censorship, imparted to them the ideas of national resistance, which got enthusiastic response among the audience. The paper concludes that these films served as emotional relieve for the Koreans, who felt like losing their country.
