Deuljwi (Korean: 들쥐; lit. 'Field Mouse') is a 1927 Korean silent film written, directed, edited by and starring Na Woon-gyu (1902–1937). It premiered at the Danseongsa Theater in Seoul.
Plot
The plot concerns a young couple who have made a marriage vow with each other. Their marriage is thwarted when the woman is forced to marry a rich gangster. A fighter for justice called "Deuljwi(Field Mouse)" stops the wedding, kills the gangsters, and returns the bride to her betrothed.
Reception
The film was considered to be a work of art that symbolically represented the invasiveness of Japanese colonialists, with the rich gangster being the Japanese and the man who was stolen of his potential wife being the Korean nation. It was banned by the Japanese authorities on the day after its release. The film was the first Korean film to be banned, but was able to be screened after cuts.
