Silent Korean movies?[edit]

I started to add several Na Woon-gyu movies to this list, then it occurred to me, these are silent movies. Should they be included in a list of Korean language films? I notice his 1926 Arirang is on the list, so maybe so... I'll hold off on adding them for a while, and if no one has objections, add them later. -- Rizzleboffin 19:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the films were silent, they'd most likely contain title cards that were (originally) in Korean, which would IMO qualify them. IMDB lists at least the ones I checked as Korean language films so we might just go by that. Actually verifying if the films do (or did) contain title cards might be pretty hard or impossible since I'm assuming at least some of the films are lost for good. - Bobet 21:53, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, Bobet, I'm adding the silent films to the list. Yes, unfortunately nearly all Korean movies before 1953 are lost. Occasionally one turns up. A Japanese film collector who had collected films in Korea before the liberation died last year. There are hopes that some important films were in his collection and will be recovered eventually.
