This study have focused on North Korean film to understand the situation of North Korea more realistically. After analyzing two North Korean films which were broadcasted in 2000s, we have concluded as follows: ideal types of women had been differentiated according to the background and situation of the movie. When the background were focused on revolutionary war, the ideal types had been expressed as a traditional women who were strong, independent and heroic. However, the background were selected as modern life, then the idel types had been changed to more feminine, silent and dependent. It seemed that dual types of idel women had been shown in North Korean film recently, in order to protect state’s difficulties: economic difficulties, a shortage of foods, and political instability. North Korean government might want to attenuate political tension through broadcast diverse ideal types of heroin in the movie.
