What is the blue movie of Korea?

Published in Korean Cinema 2 mins read

The term "blue movie" can be ambiguous. It could refer to a war film titled Blue, or, more commonly, to a type of adult film. This response will address both interpretations regarding South Korean cinema.

Blue - A South Korean War Film

According to the provided reference, Blue (Korean: 블루; RR: Beulru) is a 2003 South Korean war film directed by Lee Jung-gook focusing on elite rescue divers of the South Korea Navy. It is not an adult film.

  • Synopsis: The movie depicts the lives and missions of South Korean Navy elite rescue divers.
  • Reception: The film attracted 61,223 admissions in Seoul.
  • Genre: War film

"Blue Movie" as a euphemism for Adult Film

If the question refers to adult films produced in South Korea, then it is asking about South Korean pornography. However, it is important to note:

  • Legality: Explicit depiction of genitalia is illegal in South Korea.
  • Content: While outright pornography is illegal, suggestive or erotic films (often categorized as "erotic thrillers" or "romance") are produced in South Korea. These movies usually imply or suggest explicit acts rather than showing them directly.

Therefore, if someone is asking about the "blue movie of Korea" in this sense, there isn't a single definitive title to point to, but rather a category of films that skirt the edges of obscenity laws.
