AMAZON KADINLARI VE “WONDER WOMAN” (2017) FİLMİ ÖZELİNDE SİNEMADA FEMME FATALE KAVRAMI
THE CONCEPT OF FEMME FATALE IN THE CINEMA SPECIAL OF AMAZON WOMEN AND THE “WONDER WOMAN” (2017)

Summary/Abstract: The narration of mythological legends in the cinema has been popular in every era. One of the legends told is the story of the Amazons. Wonder Woman, the biggest representative of the Amazons in comics, was transferred to the big screen as a movie in 2017. Although the art of cinema, which is constantly fed by the world of comics and mythology, brought Wonder Woman to the big screen a little late, it achieved great success. In the film, subjects such as the Amazon myth, the rise of feminism, World War I, and changing balances are also discussed. Until the Wonder Woman movie, female superheroes were often behind or overshadowed by male superheroes. Women have been used as supporting elements that help men more. However, the character of Wonder Woman broke box office records with her unique structure in cinema, just as she shook the male-dominated hero world with her success in the comic book world since the 1940s. New forms of discourse have been developed in the script of the film and the representation of women. Within the scope of this study, the myth of the Amazon, which is legendary with matriarchal scenarios, and the 2017 film "Wonder Woman" prepared based on this myth, will be discussed in the context of the definition and concept of femme fatale. In the 2017 film, it will be revealed how the femme fatale female character, whose similars were seen before, was modernized and what kind of coding was used while creating the Diana character. Thus, it will be tried to observe how the patterns coded in the consciousness of the cinema audience are redesigned in the movie Wonder Woman, which brings together the distinctive patterns of the concept of femme fatale, mythology, and superhero form throughout the history of cinema, from the 1910s to the present.
