Summary/Abstract: The film portrait has always been and still remains the instrument of strong propaganda and agitation. The author of the work explores significant, historical and cultural differences in the representation of people in film portraits. The audiovisual portrait is the bearer of hidden and encrypted cipher, messages and ideological links. It reveals the complexity of ethics and psychology in portraying people and personalities. It points to the legal aspects of copyright to life, so called „a life and personal protection license“ , as well as the director‘s morale and ethic. The article addresses the ambivalence of the holy truth and the hermeneutic explanation of protagonists‘ biography and manipulative overhead techniques.
