Sinemada eleştirel gerçekçilik ve toplumcu gerçekçilik: 'Yol Ayrımı' filmi örneği

When realism in art is associated with political economy and philosophy, it is not a field that has received much academic study. A work of an art necessarily reflects a certain ideology or a certain worldview and is therefore political. The cinema film also reflects a particular worldview and mainstream cinema films are often shaped by the dominant ideology, which is the reality of an idealistic worldview. When the production phase of a film, the director and the director's worldview, the script, the budget, the budget, the advertising relations, in other words the production relations are evaluated as a whole, it is seen that it is shaped in line with the dominant ideology and the capitalist system. Therefore, production relations have an impact on the reality reflected in a cinema film. Since mainstream cinema films are made with commercial concerns, films with class representation in mainstream cinema do not contain an alternative political and philosophical critique when the relations of production are taken into account. In mainstream cinema films, class representations are stripped of their historical and social content in the construction of meaning and remain within the boundaries of the capitalist system and thus within the limits of the critical realist approach. Thus, it cannot go beyond criticising the system based on the capital accumulation order. This study shows that the socialist realist approach in art is connected to philosophy, content and form, political economy and materialist philosophy as a world view, and that the critical realist theory of projection only ensures the reproduction of the existing system and the continuation of the dominant ideology. In this study, the issue of reflection of reality will be evaluated through philosophy and philosophical criticism and ideological criticism will be used as methods. Following this, the film "Yol Ayrımı" (2017) will be analysed through the representations of realism.
