A cinematic look at digital reality through simulation theory: The case of "Her" movie and "Black Mirror-Hang The Dj"

It can be said that each visual art work is a symbol of reality, an illustration on its own, based on the effect that cinema has on people and the idea that the emotions created by this effect are real. Beyond that, the result of the artwork itself is real. So, is this reality created by the imagining of audience? In answer to this question; Also, because cinema already reveals a fictional reality: It can be said that cinema is one of the basic parts of the reconstruction of reality. Baudrillard defined simulation as; artificially reproduced reality. In addition, he says that in simulative universes where technology prevails, simulated humans establish new civilizations. In such universes cold or hot; visual communication tools cause the destruction of reality, perception and take people under their control. In this study, within the framework of a cinematic approach, through the examples of the movie "HER" and the series "BLACK MİRROR-HANG THE DJ", by evaluating the world we live in, in the center of simulation theory, by presenting a creative perspective, the human being who is on the thin line between reality and simulation, has a cinematic approach through the perception of reality. The paradoxes we experience with a philosophical and simulative approach have been tried to be revealed by using descriptive analysis method. When the examples containing the simulation elements are examined; Thanks to the cinematic universe, we make ourselves feel like we are in that universe within the simulative universes where human emotions are feeding created; the argument has emerged that turned the cinematic universe into a simulation as if it were the universe we live in now. The fact that today we use very closely similar applications used in the movies I have examined, and that we are alone in the digital world every day, are proofs to support this claim. It has been determined that this simulacrum created by the cinema is an illustration of the reconstructed reality.
