Yaşamın ve Ölümün Büyüsü: Terrence Malick’in Tarih Temalı Sinema Filmlerinde Doğa-İnsan-Savaş İlişkisi
The Magic of the Life and Death: The Relationship Between Nature, Human and War in the Terrence Malick Films With Historical Content

Summary/Abstract: The lines of life which are to discover again and again till the death which has ritualistic faces convert to an effective narration in Terrence Malick’s cinematography. All the narrations in Malick’s movies about historical include and examine relations between human and nature and own and other. These historical-themed narratives, which are put forward on the axis of concepts such as “love”, “magic”, “death”, “war”, “loss”, “eternity”, contain discussions reinforced with the language of cinema based on the self, which can be shown among the problematic issues based on humanity. These narratives on the reconstruction of the self in the face of the other encountered, and thus the questioning of cultural determinism are among the basic dynamics of the history-themed movies of Malick. In our study, we will examine and argue the topics such like issue of selfdom, constructing of selfdom, cultural determinism, relations between man and nature through Malick’s The Thin Red Line (1998) and The New World (2005) movies. Throughout the investigations to we carry out, we will evaluate the philosophy of history, the problem of the self, the establishment of the self, cultural determinism, the relationship between nature and human, based on related philosophical approaches.
