    Joker: Film, working class and post-truth
    (Univ Pittsburgh, 2023-01-01) Uysal, Yıldırım; UYSAL, YILDIRIM; Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi; AFQ-8674-2022
    The film Joker (2019) garnered huge interest from audiences worldwide and honored at the box office with an amount exceeding one billion dollars. Indeed, Joker has a class and political reflection on society. This article claims that the film Joker is a manifesto against the political forces that prioritize populist, authoritarian, and ruthless capitalist policies all over the world. The aim of our study is to analyze how the class movement is shown and examined in Joker. Joker's anti-system and anti-capitalist stance needs a sociological analysis; this analysis examines how Joker reflects people's subconscious and inspires class resistance. Another important point is to analyze the movie scenes with a descriptive analysis that will help us understand the transformation of the social movement. How the characters are assigned semiotically in the script is another requirement in terms of emphasizing what the film tells implicitly. It is important both to understand the chaos of the working class, which has not yet positioned itself in the production relations of the postmodern period after, and to see the film's recipe for why the working class should not incline towards right-wing populist politics. Understanding these two points will be the most important result and achievement of our study.

    Rocky balboa: The innocent and the invincible hero o low income class
    (Univ Pittsburgh, Univ Library System, 2021-01-01) Uysal, Yıldırım; UYSAL, YILDIRIM; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi; AFQ-8674-2022
    This study is aiming to scrutinize that how American low income class is represented in Rocky Balboa film series in regards of Rocky Balboa character. It will try to understand the mission which is given to Rocky along the film series by examining the concepts such as the values which Rocky represents, class standing, moving up in social ladder, etc. in the scripts of Rocky movies. The life line of Balboa which we have begun to witness while he was living in a poor neighborhood leads us to the different faces of his life along the six films of series: firstly, the world championship that he got by defeating Apollo Creed, then keeping his belt for a long time and defeating Ivan Drago, then losing all his wealth and has to return to the neighborhood where he was living previously and the last fight that he did during his retirement. The hypothesis of the study is that the films of Balboa series are reflecting the life of American low income class 'realistic' with Rocky Balboa's character, and the hypothesis is going to want to verify it along the study.
