Someone Else Will Come
Abstract
Chapter 27 interrogates the media portrayal of South and North Korean spies through two movies—“Hunt” and “The Spy Gone North.” In this analysis, the filmmakers views stand in for public opinion toward spies, the nation, and the inter-Korea relationship, as validated by their commercial and critical success. Both films feature opposing North and South Korean protagonists, rich themes, and moral dilemmas.
