Cinema, A Powerful Tool to Control Minds

Cinema is a powerful tool for showing oppression. By showing stories and visualizing characters, this art can depict social, political and cultural issues and send messages to the audience through them. In this report, we present how cinema consoles behavior and opinions over the years.

According to   Hamim’s art news website , cinema can act as a means of conveying human emotions and experiences and acquaint the audience with the issues they face in their daily lives.

In cinema , oppression can be shown directly or indirectly. In some movies, oppressed and hardworking characters are depicted and the focus of the story is on their battles and problems. These types of movies can help the audience to sympathize with the problems and hardships they face in their daily life, and sometimes these images are just to stimulate your emotions and the reality is the opposite of the images.

In some movies, oppression is shown indirectly. For example, in films dealing with social and political issues, oppression can be shown through the depiction of social problems and inequalities. These types of films can help the audience to become more sensitive to social and political issues and work towards social and political changes.

But this point should always be remembered that we should not be fooled by the images and storytelling of the enemy, and the thieves of wealth, honor and the country are only thinking about their own theft and deceiving the people.

In general, cinema as an art is a means of expressing views, raising awareness and stimulating thought. This art can give a voice to the oppressed and depict the issues that exist in the society.

Deception of public opinion by cinema has different roles in the way that it enhances or reduces the statistics and social role. These deceptions can be created through imagery, storytelling, and influencing the emotions and thoughts of the audience. Below are some general ways cinema can deceive the public:

Ideological Imaging :

• Using images, sounds, symbols, and visual language to convey specific values, beliefs, and ideologies promoted by the filmmaker.

Narrative Framing :

• Choosing and creating stories that help convey specific viewpoints and justify them. These stories can be arranged in a specific order to create different effects.

Use of characters and exhibition (Character and Spectacle) :

• The arrangement of the characters, the display of their experiences and feelings in such a way that the audience prefers to identify with certain people and thus be influenced by their views and values.

Emotional Stimulation :

• Using music, tension, everyday life and emotions to strengthen the audience’s connection with the story and characters and, as a result, influence their attitudes and thoughts.

Presenting Behavioral Patterns :

• Showing social and behavioral patterns for the audience to follow, for example, presenting behavioral patterns to reinforce or change beliefs.

The combination of these factors and their careful use by filmmakers and content developers can have strong effects on the mentality and views of the audience, and this creates an impact on society and social culture.
