Özet:

The Social structure and the traditions of Turkish society are discussed as a topic in many movies through cinema that is a visual art. The Turkish audience has adopted movies that represent their culture. Thus, in this study, Hazal (1979) and Sultan Gelin (1973) have been examined from ethnology perspective. Both movies have been made in the countryside with the same actor. Traditions about marriage get attention from the beginning of movies. It is seen that "levirate" and "bride wealth" traditions are practiced rigorously. In this context, in this study, it is aimed to evaluate some traditions related to marriage period discussed in Turkish movies and emphasize the role of cinema in cultural transmission in terms of applied ethnology. With the effect of the tradition of "bride wealth", marriage traditions especially levirate has been evaluated in folkloric terms. Beside levirate and elopement in both movies, marriage wish, bride wealth and wedding processes are common traditions. Price for seeing the bride's face appears only in Gelin and the bride's veil appears in Hazal movie.
