A study on family tasks and family stress caused by different family contexts between generations

The purpose of this study is to present family tasks and family stress based on different family contexts between generations. To this end, the movie Yonggil's Gopchang Restaurant was selected to examine the patterns of family tasks created by different family contexts between generations and the relationship between family tasks and family stress. As a movie analysis method, S. Chatman (1978)'s linguistic narrative structure and the narrative structure of the video screen were applied to the family context of Yonggil's Gopchang Restaurant and family stress caused by family tasks. Yong-gil, the main character of the movie in the historical and social context of the film, will form a family task that his son Tokio must receive Japanese education at the best private school in Japan in order to settle and adapt in Japanese society. However, Tokio was not accepted by a Japanese private school symbolized by Japan's mainstream society and suffered bullying and violence. In the process, Tokio feels frustrated and angry at himself, his family, and the world, and eventually, family stress reaches extremes. Through this series of narrative processes in Yonggil's Gopchangjip, family stress caused by family tasks was analyzed, and implications were discussed for families living in this era where interests between generations overlap beyond the historical and spatial background.
