Abstract

Korean director Lee Tsang dong, who comes from a writer background, is skilled in depicting marginalized individuals at the bottom of society and using them as the main subject to examine Korean society and culture with critical realism techniques. As a creator of critical realism style, Li Cangdong discusses human nature and society from a female perspective in many of his works. Starting from “Miyang”, Li Cangdong attempts to discuss women’s self redemption. The emergence of Poetry further affirms the power of women. Zhao Nanzhu said, “In a male centered and patriarchal society, even women can develop a male centered and patriarchal way of thinking.” In a patriarchal society, there is a significant difference in social status between men and women. Despite the continuous development and changes in society, women are still not respected, and this feudal ideology is particularly prevalent in South Korea. This distorted concept also leads to women being gradually objectified and lacking in self-awareness. The article analyzes Li Cangdong’s film Poetry from the perspective of female consciousness, aiming to explore the multiplicity of female consciousness.
