Summary/Abstract: Cinema entered our world as a new type of narrative and became one of the factors that colored our lives. Cinema has taken on the role of distracting and entertaining the individual and society by focusing on life, people, and their stories. And with its manipulative side, it turned into an active apparatus. In this way, cinema has turned into an ideological device. Cinema also came to the fore in telling history and reconstructing it. Cinema has become one of the most effective narrative genres for animating and understanding history. In this context, cinema, which is a different and complete narrative genre, began to develop a strong relationship with history. Although world cinema has achieved quite a bit of success in terms of historical films, this field has remained incomplete for us. We have only a few examples in this area. Why were Hacivat and Karagöz killed? It is one of the examples describing a historical period. In this study, the Ottoman Establishment Period will be examined based on this movie. The film and the many theories of establishment will be compared, and the position of the film in this context will be examined. In addition, the film's approach to the Ottoman Establishment Period will be examined. And the effect of the modern point of view and the founding ideology on the film will be evaluated.
