The document summarizes the history and development of South Korean cinema over several eras: 1) The post-WWII era saw an initial burst of creative freedom, but production slowed during the Korean War. 2) The "Golden Age" of the 1950s-1970s saw government support that helped the industry grow, with many popular films. 3) The 1970s was a difficult period but recovery began in the 1980s as the government gained more control over film selection. 4) From the late 1990s, South Korean films found greater box office success at home and abroad through limits on foreign films and festivals.
