This study was designed to investigate the characteristics, aesthetics, similarities and differences through the flow of Korean female movies. In order to carry out this study, four movies with representations of each age had to be selected. These four films are respectively Sweet Dream produced during the Japanese colonial period, Madame Freedom which prompted the debate on feminism in the 1950s, The Silver Stallion Will Never Come which combines the devastated lives of women in the 1990s with anti-malevolent views, and A Good Lawyer’s Wife which presents a futuristic selection of Korean feminist films. Especially, these works are noteworthy in that they guarantee the typicality and representative of Korean films in each period. Based on this, two common motifs appearing in these works have been intensively studied. One is a ‘cage’ motif that symbolizes women’s detention and the other is a ‘mirror’ motif that women need to be aware of their situation and check the current situation. Korean women's films have not only shared some of the motifs of ‘Cage’ and ‘Mirror’, but also have focused on conveying the author's message that ultimately aimed at linking these motifs.
