Abstract

Semiotic theory plays a vital role in the cognition of realistic films. Realistic films aim to reflect events and situations in real life, and arouse the audience's thinking about real problems through realistic depiction. In this process, the theory of semiotics helps to reveal the symbolic elements in the film and the profound meaning behind them. This study focused on the realism movie 도 가 니 "(Silenced), on the basis of the theory of saussure's semiotics, combined with its proposed the concept of "signifier" and "mean", through the study of arbitrariness and secondary film symbol sign system, designed to dig deeper into the symbolic meanings in the movie, and their cultural significance and social evaluation. By analyzing the implied narrative structure, meaning structure and ideology in the film, this paper probes into the influence and effect of mass culture on society and reveals the potential information conveyed by symbols in the film. This study aims to provide creative insights and explanations to provide useful references for research in related fields.

기호학 이론은 현실주의 영화의 해석에 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 현실주의 영화는 현실 생활의 사건과 상황을 반영하는데 집중하며, 사실적인 묘사를 통해 관객에게 현실의 문제를 생각하도록 한다. 이 과정에서, 기호학 이론은 영화 속의 상징적인 요소와 그 배후에 함축되어 있는 깊은 의미를 해석할 수 있도록 유도한다. 본 연구는 리얼리즘 영화에 나타난 기호학적 특징을 소쉬르의 기의와 기표의 개념을 통해 접근하고, 특히 영화의 기호에 나타난 임의성과 2급 기호 체계(언어체계+신화 체계)가 영화의 기호적 함의와 영화의 문화적 의의에 작용하는 과정을 분석하고자 하였다. 그리고 <도가니>의 사례에서 적용되는 과정을 살펴봄으로써 영화 속의 함축적인 서사 구조, 의미 구조, 이데올로기가 사회를 반영하는 대중문화 속에서 드러내는 영향과 효과를 연구하고자 하였다. 연구를 통해 영화의 기호가 전달하고자 하는 잠재적 정보의 다채로운 가능성을 볼 수 있었으며, 기호학을 통해 창의적 견해와 해석을 가능성을 볼 수 있었다.
