Summary/Abstract: The concept of narrative has been a field that has been discussed, thought about and studied by the West for many years. It is a discipline that aims to examine texts containing narratives in a certain line and to reveal sciences and studies in parallel with this. This concept; It has found a place for itself from oral art to written art and then to visual arts. From oral art to written art, it has found a place for itself in visual art. Narrative style can change in parallel with developing technologies and social structure. The character of the narrative does not change, even if the vehicle that is the mediator has changed. Structural analysis method, which is the morphological approach of Vladimir Propp on Russian fairy tales, appears in the art of cinema today. In this study, the structural analysis method of Vlamar Propp, called the tale analysis method, was applied on the film Kızılırmak Karakoyu, which was directed by Lütfi Ömer Akad. The aim of the study; Lütfi Ömer Akad's film Kızılırmak Karakoyun is to prove that he reveals the reality of the village with a fairy-tale-like narrative. Although Propp has realized the structural analysis method on extraordinary tales, it is possible to apply this method in cinema interdisciplinary in line with the possibilities offered by the narrative structure. It is especially appropriate to use this analysis method for movies that base their stories on legends and myths. It is seen that the film, which brings together the legend of Kızılırmak and the legend of Karakoyun, which are two different legends in Anatolia, fulfills many functions of the event string structural analysis method.
