Abstract
Throughout the twentieth century, the traditional South Korean folktale “Janghwa Hongryeon jeon” (The Story of Janghwa and Hongryeon) has been reiterated and reinterpreted in several textual narratives and filmic adaptations (Kim Kyu Hyun; Leung 173). The article examines two recent film reimaginings of this story—Kim Jee-woon’s 2002 South Korean A Tale of Two Sisters, and The Guard Brothers’ 2009 American remake, The Uninvited. Using poststructuralist and feminist disability theory, the argument is that Su-mi in Sisters and Anna in Uninvited are both subjected to the biopolitical apparatuses of control imposed by the societal norms of compulsory able-bodiedness (McRuer 8). Su-mi and Anna seek deterritorialization from the diagnosis of mental illness by engaging in creative acts of multiplicity, or what Gilles Deleuze describes as becoming-other (44). Anna uses her hybridity to engage in transgressive acts which paradoxically stabilize the social order of the nuclear family. Although Anna’s madness challenges the stability of normativity, her actions demonstrate that protecting the symbolic heteronormativity of the family trumps her emancipation. Conversely, Su-mi deterritorializes from subservience and resists the medicalization of her mind and body. Su-mi lacks the ethical response from those around her and thus fails to receive the care she requires. The lack of recognition or care from others ultimately leads to her re-institutionalization and the perpetuation of surveillance.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
