Abstract:

Cinema, considered as the seventh art, is one of the most effective propaganda tools of our time. Countries can easily transfer their cultures, thoughts and beliefs to other countries through cinema. Cinema in our country has found a place for itself since the first years of its birth. Although its effect was not noticed at first, it became a big sector in the following years. Religion, which is the constant subject of cinema films, has always found a place for itself in both our country and world cinema. This invention has sometimes been in a negative, sometimes ignored, and sometimes respected position. In this study, an evaluation will be made through some sample scenes by considering how the concepts of religion and value in the films of the National Cinema Movement, which are accepted as one of the cinema movements of our country, are reflected on the big screen. In our study, the document analysis method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used and the research data were obtained with this method. Categorical content analysis and descriptive analysis was performed in the analysis and interpretation of the research data. In the films of the National Cinema movement, messages about religion and values were generally handled in a positive way. It has been observed that messages related to belief, worship and morality are sometimes processed through mutual dialogues and sometimes only visually. In the films, which are generally told about the guidance of a person, the change of the person and the positive behavior of the person after the negative messages are reflected on the screen. Thus, it was ensured that moral values were reflected on the screen through some characters. The scenes edited in these films, in which important actors of Turkish cinema history also take part, are generally capable of leaving a positive impact on the audience. It is seen that in the films of the National Cinema Movement, positive messages about religion and values are generally emphasized. Thanks to the messages about faith, worship and morality, a positive image emerges on the screen. Although the shooting dates of the films are old, it can be said that the positive messages in these films can be used in religion and values education.
