Synopsis Fa lsely accused as the murd erer of my own husband... Oh, the cruel m achi nations of fate! A female teach er (Lee Yong- ae) gives s helter to an esc aped convic t, but her husband, mi sconstruing her inten tions, reacts violently and accidentally stabs himself to death in the p rocess. The teacher is c harged with her husband's murder, but fortunately the prosecuto r on the ca se is a former student of hers , of who m she had taken painstaki ng care w hen she was working at an elementary school . Remembering her kindness to him, the prose cutor uncov ers her innocence in court, an d she is acqui tted of t he c rime. Not es A silent mov ie that allows us to examin e the narrator-accompan ied method of 16mm f ilms (Chun g Jong-wha ) A Pub lic Prosecutor and a Teac her is familiar to us f or the performance o f Shin Chool, Korea's last silent movie narrator (known as b yeonsain Korean). Numerou s criti cs have recommen ded the film, praising it as a si lent movie tha t allows us t o examine the narrator-accompanied method of 16mm fi lms (Chun g Jong -wha), the work of Korea's last sile nt movie na rrator (Kim Hong-joon), a movie that reflects the public's consc iousness and ha s great historical valu e (Lee Seung-hun), and the a rchetypal n ew-school fi lm (Chun g Sung-il). As evidenced by such commentary, A Publi c Prose cuto r and a Teacherenjoys g reater recognitio n for its historical value as the only su rviving silent mo vie in Korea than for its artistic or technical as pects. What is ironic is t he fact that thi s recognition derivesf rom a production and s creening method th at f ell behind t he time s, a s sound film s (or t alkies) had already become the norm when the movie was first ma de. It s inclusion in the list is therefore based on its historical, social context rather th an on the film its elf. Afterwor d - Narr ated by Shin Chool, who is known as Korea's last silent film narrato r, A Public Prosecuto r and a T eacherhas been screened at s everal film festiva ls since the latter ha lf of t he 1990s.
