The study of class and class conflict in the framework of Karl Marx from the perspective of cinema

Class conflict is an economic and universal phenomenon and has existed throughout human history. Society types have varied according to the conditions of the period, and the reality of class conflict has changed in line with these changes in each period. In this regard, Marx discussed in his works the history of class conflicts that have existed and continue to exist throughout all periods, despite the variations, and how they have transformed throughout history. From the perspective of these works discussed by Marx in the 19th century, it can be seen that the situation is the same in the 21st century and that class conflict continues to increase. Marx made analyzes on class conflict, manipulations in order not to notice the conflicts concretely, studies on the problems that the proletarians have experienced and will experience in the future, and what steps will be taken to eliminate these problems, and these works of the thinker have influenced all fields from literature to cinema. . While the phenomenon of class conflict is discussed in many local or foreign films, the plots are mostly based on Marx's philosophy. Therefore, the reason why Marx was chosen for this study and the analysis of the films was based on Marx's philosophy becomes clear at this point. The fact that the messages intended to be given through semiotic techniques are in line with Marx's understanding and that the bourgeois-proletarian conflict brings to the big screen many common points in domestic and foreign films formed the basis of the study.
