This paper explores how, in the late 1970s, an anti-communist film genre and a children’s film genre were mixed in the case of a Korean movie, “So Close Yet Far”. Reflecting the cultural and social trend of the anti-communist film production at that time, the movie was made under the social system of film-making set by the government policy to control and promote culture. Along with change in the film industry at that time, the children’s movie became popular and segmented into a subculture. Thereby the movie showed the mixed property of both the anti-communist film and the children’s one. It reinforced the anti-communist theme and appealed to the mass audience through various modes of film expression. In narrative and audio-visual production techniques, it shared similarity with anti-communist movies and children’s movies, but also showed differences. One difference was in the way the film “So Close Yet Far” merged themes drawn from the contemporary political relationship between the South and North Korea in the late period of the former president Park, Chung-Hee’s government. The uniqueness of the film “So Close Yet Far” is that it retains a dual position as both an anti-communist film and children’s one.
