Abstract (EN)
Cinema was invented in Europe at later 19th. Century. Europeans have made movies about Jesus who is the center of their beliefs since the first days of cinema. Movies with figures of Jesus Christ has attracted the audience at most. Later in time, the American 'Hollywood' has seized the supremacy in movies industry. And Hollywood too continued the European's religious cinema movement. Jesus Christ became the most important subject of those movies in America too. Moreover, movies about Jesus Christ has been taken a step forward by the Americans. Now Hollywood does not make movies that tells Jesus Christ's life only. Instead, they make a much more influential approach by putting the subject Jesus into subtext of a movie. In this study, we evaluated the Hollywood movies with the subject of Jesus figure from the perspective of history of religions. This study consists of an introduction and three chapters. In the introduction, we have mentioned the social life in Palestine before and after the Jesus. In the first chapter, we have referred to the basic elements of cinema. In the second chapter, we evaluated all the American movies which tells Jesus Christ's life directly with the perspective of history of religions. And in the third chapter we analyzed how Hollywood used the Jesus figure in the subtext with some example movies.
