The research question will probably be “what is the difference between Hollywood cinema and Kurdish cinema in their contribution to the fight against terrorism”? and this research does not study the question of how cinema negatively affects the masses and perhaps this topic will be a topic to consider and analyze later in another futuristic research. Human beings have always dreamed of a way to increase their lifespan to live longer and they found in art what they were looking for. First in painting where it experienced its greatest value during the Renaissance, when the art of painting began to flourish before artists drew what was there or what they saw before them, but in the Renaissance they began to go beyond, painting the many aspects of life or how they would look at it from their own point of view and there were 2 purposes behind the pain one of which was mainly aesthetic for the beauty of its appearance [1] secondly the psychological aspect which duplicates reality in these paintings, then another invention came into being in 1888 and it was the photographic image for all, although it s This is a more advanced version of art, but a static image can show moving objects as blurry and not very clear or even difficult to understand because it requires someone with some vision. to understand a photographic image, then later another invention was born, the video camera and after the Lumière brothers started making their films at that time in 1895, this was the birth of modern psychiatry and which was mentioned by Freud and Joseph Breuer and the birth of psychoanalysis was established by Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). Freud believed that individuals could gain relief by becoming aware of their unconscious thoughts and inspirations, thereby gaining “understanding.” The aim of analysis treatment is to release attenuated feelings and encounters, for example to make the unconscious conscious. In his early literature, his thinking At the end of the 19th century, Freud was convinced that it was difficult to "speak graphically" about the dynamic nature of our reasoning in a good structure. Of course, the reader would have some questions in mind, like what is the relationship between cinema (movies) in general and psychology and audiences. In the final writings of this particular research, we will go through all these stages one by one. starting with our hypothesis which will be “Kurdish cinema has a lesser contribution to the fight against terrorism than Hollywood”.

Then later we will review some Hollywood movies after the 9/11 incidents. To better understand the history of cinema and terrorism, we have been better off choosing to rewatch some of the old Hollywood films that are related to our subject and, as the great film theorist Siegfried Kracauer said, "cinema is the mirror of dominant society", just as Hollywood cinema of the 1970s had little to do with reality and the escapist one we should call it, the villains in the plots have almost absurd reasons why they commit their attacks. For example, there was a movie in (1974) with the name of (the talking Pelham 1-2-3) is one of the greatest examples of movies showing that the villain was financially motivated, the gang is led by a British mercenary who threatens the peace in New York by kidnapping a subway train to pay a sort of million-dollar ransom to the government. The same pattern was replicated in these two films as well Two Minute Warning (1976) and Rollercoaster (1977) when a group of criminals threaten to strike public places (sending black mail to the government specifically as part of terrifying plans to putting a mass of population at risk In the 1980s, this pattern shifted from an evasion approach to one that was less evasive and more oriented toward actual terrorism, especially as America witnessed. the 444 Day Hostage Crisis (1979), and after the American involvement in the Lebanese Civil War (1983), for example as in Delta Force (1986), in this film the terrorists were shown in ugly ways, which Of course are shown without head bandages and are seen from a low angle, showing a messy hairstyle and looks that only send a message of fear into the hearts of anyone watching, the film draws the image of certain members from gangs hijacking a civilian plane to Lebanon to an urban jungle in Beirut in particular, here a team was assembled to defeat them. The terrorists had prepared to go to where the hijackers, when they arrive there, they kill a number of them and take the kidnapped people back to their homes safely. So, in the 1980s, films were supposed to open people's eyes to such an important issue as terrorism and the threat to the public, films in the 1990s were like films in the 1970s, where jihadists or bad guys have a certain ideology, but the ideology is just a mask behind their real motivations which are always financial and not ideological, and most of them were like a group of terrorists who came and attack a bank, park or skyscraper (public places) and take hostages, defeat all attempts by the government to save the hostages, then a hero arrives alone and defeats a group of them single-handedly, like in Die Hard II (1992), Red Alert (1992), Passenger 57 (1992), Speed ​​(1995), Sudden Death (1995), Die Hard III (1995), The Rock (1996), Operation Broken Arrow (1997) or Air Force One (1997) in all these films, the villains had won for a short time, then after the arrival of the hero, luck took a turn for the worse in the face of his own defeat, one by one until the hero of the film faces the last of them alone and hits him. to end all evil, only for these films because they had shown the true face of terrorism like in True Lies (1994), Executive Decision (1996) and The Siege (1999), because they had shown the real jihadistscapacity and thirst for bloodshed and how far they would go to cause as much damage as possible to achieve this by dastardly means, for example if we re-examine so to speak the role of jihadists or the way they were perceived in Real Lies (1994) which mainly talks about a group of jihadists (Crimson Jihad) that they call themselves and which they tend to have managed to deliver nuclear weapons to one of the Soviet unions, trying to blackmail the United States government and prove they had these weapons that they blew one of them up on a habitable island in the Florida Keys, threatening all countries, then spymaster Trilby (Charlton Heston) asks his troops to find the leader of the group Aziz and his men before launching a nuclear bomb in front of the white house in the back of a car, the role of the hero here is played by (Arnold Schwarzenegger), the The character's name is Harry Tasker from "Omega Sector", a unit that was supposed to be a secret unit working in the fight against the expansion of terrorism. ResultsWhen does trauma happen to someone in a movie in a movie theater and we will shake our hands and react to it even though it doesn't happen to us because it is projected rather than happening in reality , well, that's when William James "described the tendency of visual images to evoke motor actions over a hundred years ago, using the term ideomotor actions: 'Wherever movement follows without hesitation and immediately its notion in the mind, we have an ideomotor action. The term was originally coined to describe involuntary actions during hypnosis and meditation sessions, but James pointed out that seeing something and automatically responding with an appropriate movement is one of the most common ways to provoke movements, “the normal process without disguise”. and William James himself had separated the reason behind committing such acts by a methodology called the mirror rules and the success rule. The mirror rule is basically like the saying "monkey says, monkey does", but it's not just available to all monkeys. animals have this kind of instinct, birds, mammals have it, even insects have it and of course, human beings have this trait of loving all other animals and the second rule is the rule of success and it was called that because human beings repeat what worked earlier in a certain situation like what we call simulation and that's when human beings learn like playing chess or something. something that has an effect on our subconscious and we actually learned from it. The rule of success appears not only in fundamental motor skills, but also in increasingly discrete and complex social communications. Let's say you stop at a similar bistro on your way to work every morning, and there are two lines at the counter, manned by two regular servers. A great biologist Richard Dawkins once said something like the human brain works by simulation in his book The Selfish Gene. so we mostly simulate what we see in mass media, like books, movies, television and reflect it. In our brain, something that concerns us most, Van Gogh did not live until the May 6 release. In August 2004, the presentation of Van Gogh's short film sparked a commotion in Muslim circles when it was broadcast on Dutch open television. The memoir showed a half-exposed Muslim woman, tattooed with Quranic passages, describing how she was forced into a marriageorganized, mistreated by her other half, sexually assaulted by her uncle and then severely rejected for adultery. On the morning of November 2, 2004, a Dutch Moroccan Muslim, Mohammed Bouyeri, knocked van Gogh off his bicycle on a busy Amsterdam road, slit the producer's throat in cold blood with a bent blade, and stuck a letter on his the chest with another blade. Bouyeri's letter criticized "unbelieving fundamentalists" who "threatened Islam" through films like Submission. The disappearance of Theo van Gogh has to be the most astonishing depiction of how film producers turned out to be involved in the so-called global period of fear. The Dutchman's Butcher not only shows the dangers producers face, but writers continue to confront the topics of psychological oppression and religion in a time of scandalous political polarization. Hollywood in the 21st century As we explained before reviewing some of Hollywood films In the 2000s, although Hollywood cinema has changed radically, moving just like in the 70s and 90s, from little precision in the description of terrorism and of course very far from the films of the 80s and their most honest version of the description of terrorism, it has instead become by framing the terrorists, it focuses on non-reality (escape) or even it harbors terrorism, it would mention it in an unrealistic way. irregular patterns, far removed from anything real, especially after the dangers of September 11 were defined as extraterrestrial (War of the Worlds, 2005) or as people dying from infection as in (I Am Legend, 2007) or from rapid environmental change as in (The Day After Tomorrow, 2005), if there is an example of a film dealing with terrorism, it is The War Within (2005), it primarily focuses on a Pakistani prisoner who was captured for a crime he did not commit and severely tortured after being captured. Released from prison, his ideology transformed into a more radical one, then he found a terrorist organization that already had it in mind. The vicious experience turns Hassan into an extreme who seeks revenge for the bad form done to him. He interfaces with an alarmist cell that is heavily involved in organizing an assault on the Amazing Focal Station in New York. Regardless, his reasoning is put under extreme weight due to logical inconsistencies and contradictory feelings: the war, in which he sees himself, is taking place “inside” – in his own mind. Finally, The Kingdom (2007) can be read as an elective scenario of the real war against fear in its definition of effective counterterrorism as a consequence of collaboration between Western and Central Eastern police forces. A group of FBI examiners work closely with Saudi Police Colonel Al Ghazi (Achraf Barhom) to track down Abu Hamza, a mid-level al-Qaeda member responsible for a siege assault on a U.S. compound in Saudi Arabia. Overall, the film offers an "idealistic scene of wounded Americans returning home, mission accomplished", as Jim Hoberman commented. We decided to rate them based on the circumstances of the heroes' villains, so we start with:Brear 2015 (decision):In this film, a mother must choose between having her child beheaded or having the holey roshnbery explode, meaning (room of Enlightenment), showing There are two sides to the cruelty of these terrorist groups: one is not just making a difficult decision and choosing to save her daughter and kill innocent lives, or she can save innocent teenagers andnot to kill them for the sake of his daughter's life. In an interview with the film's director and screenwriter Wahid Kfri, he said about the origin of this story: "At the beginning of the story, a woman in her thirties is preparing to perform a play musical, then she practices her beautiful music then a group of terrorists hear it from a distance, they arrive before 1 o'clock of the musical piece and kidnap her, make the women choose between her daughter and the teenagers who in the eyes of these terrorists are sinners because of 2 sins celebrating Valentine's Day and I am waiting for the musical piece (which is haram) and must be irradiated. who is the hero of our story, then let's take him to a house that appears to be the base of operations for this terrorist group, then the leader of this terrorist group appears in one scene and tells one of his assistants to remove bandwidth and saw the leader of this group, looks of horror seem to appear on the mother's face as she looks to her right and sees a tortured man next to her, the tortured man had l looking horribly tired and blood was coming out of her head, then the terrorist group gives the mother a target to blow up the roshnbery room, the mother looks confused as if she refused the offer just by because of her face, then the terrorist group seems to have the trump card which was her daughter, a second option was given to the mother and who beheads her precious daughter in front of her, she takes the guitar which has a bomb stuck on it and seems n having no other option, the terrorist group takes her to the place they want to be destroyed, the mother gets out of the terrorist's car towards the scene and there she sees all these teenagers gathered and celebrating Valentine's Day and she stops thinking about all the innocent lives she is about to take, remembering that she only has one choice to make between two bitter options: she chooses to do nothing and lose his daughter, which is really sad, and the other to bomb the building that houses all these poor teenagers which is also something horrible. Bashtren Xalat: A tragic story of a 12 year old boy who travels with his mother and encounters a terrorist group who ends up being dead, accept for the boy,The film begins with a scene of a director in a car heading from Baghdad to Sulaymani, the next scene is of him winning the Best Picture award on the love of a nation in Baghdad, looking back on his memories of this day while looking at his phone which broadcasts a video of this day, a child then with his mother (Baran Omer the hero of our story here) watches the director's phone and asks to see the glassy prize, the director gives it to him, the mother talks to the boy telling him to return the prize to the director and apologizes to the director, then the child hides the reward in the bag hand from his mother, a couple is in the back of the car, apparently they were husband and wife, no, a lot of time had passed since they got married, flirting and chatting in the back of the car car, then a terrorist group will enter, take the passengers out of the car, the terrorist group will start searching the passengers, one of them finds the reward in the mother's purse, they take it then who seems to be the leader of the terrorist group shouts "don't you know that acting is haram" When he breaks the award in front of the director, the director seems to be upset about what happened to his award after the leader of this terrorist group tells his group , kill them all, the director shows up telling the terrorists to stop and pretending the prize isn't his, it's not the mothers trying to change their minds, apparently nothing worked , they took the woman who was sitting on the benchback. husband, then started shooting each of the passengers until they were all dead or at least what they think killed everyone down to the last of them, after a while they leave, then the young boy wakes up, goes to see his mother trying to check if she wakes up, no response from the mother, the little boy then goes to where the reward had been broken first by the terrorist leader and recovers a peace of rewards her and continues on her way. After talking to the director of the film about what exactly inspired him to create this film and what image he wanted to show terrorists to the audience, the answers were: "I was on my way back from Basra after winning the award for best short film that time and I went to see if there were plane tickets, and there weren't, so we had to drive back, so we did and we left while the sun was not yet up and I had the reward in hand, this moment was the beginning of the war against ISIS (the Islamic State) and the people who used these roads without encountering any ISIS checkpoints were lucky, the driver of the car asked me what was on my back and I told him it contained a reward, he said. be a good man and throw him away, that's reason enough to get yourself beheaded by these Islamic State members, don't you know it's haram to act and lead, and I told him that even if they cut my head off, I would I'm not throwing away this award, because it means a lot to me, and it didn't happen, that was the most incredible part of it all, if it happened , I wouldn't be there and make this scenario from the start"And said More specifically, "the first point of the film was the director who deliberately went to an Arab city, Baghdad, to claim the prize there best director while knowing that the road ahead of him is full of dangers and could lose his life on the way back, the second point was the child who saw the prize and wanted it for himself then met the terrorist group who ended up killing all the passengers accept for the little boy and although everyone is dead and the terrorists may think they have won, in the end the boy survived fulfilling the hopes and dreams of the director who kindly presented him with his prize.Margy ruzhnamanus (the death of a journalist):A tragedy the story of a journalist with his wife and two children on a journey that will cost him his life to research and investigate an attack on the bomb against a car in Kirkuk. At the beginning of the story there are two different scenes, that of a journalist who is investigating an explosion that happened in Kirkuk called Al-Hasera explosion and another group who were the planners and drivers of this attack which killed an innocent child and others, the hero of our story at the beginning receives a phone call from his friend, then he tells how he is very concerned about this attack because a child was killed during this action, then comes another scene of this man's daughter playing innocently with her dolls, the reporter at the time is still investigating this vile outburst and his daughter comes in and asks her father the reporter brings her a new doll and some fabric for his current doll, then the reporter prepares to go out while the children play and the mother takes care of the housework, the father goes out to ask if the family wants anything other than his daughters doll, his wife responds not only by coming back towards us safe and sound and as quickly as possible, then the journalist comes out with one of his friends saying that the government should focus on creating not just a mare newspaper but an entire television channel onhidden vile people. acts happening in Kurdistan, then the journalist said to his friend "let's go buy the doll for my little girl" his friend replied isn't it a bit late, can't we delay this until later finally the reporter responded with "I can't my children be all I have in my life, I can't delay this for later". Then it appears that the terrorists responsible for the explosion are after the journalist and are tracking him in some way. The journalist picked up his daughter's doll and headed towards the Kurdistan Journalists' Union. There they found a group of people that they seemed to be repeating for a while. playing, one of them (who seems to be in charge of this group) says: "Guys, do you know why I'm telling you to work hard on this series?" because one of my very close friends comes, he is a journalist and plays specialist to see us practice and give us some advice, that's why we have to work hard not to embarrass ourselves in front of him”, then the children journalists ask their mother why their father is late because he said he won't be late with them and now everyone is worried, the mother says "ok, I'll call him a few minutes later" . The reporter heads to the syndicate where his friend is waiting for him to give him advice on his piece, after he finishes he heads to drink tea and the terrorist gang appears to follow him and eventually find and shoot him dead. and runs away, the mother calls her husband the journalist, the children look at their mother waiting for answers but no response from the journalist, they try to call her again and again and the phone rings next to the corpse of the journalist lying dead on the ground, a group of police officers follow the trail of the terrorist group, pursue them and finally capture them. In an interview with the director of this film, I asked him what inspired him to make this film and his answer was about the fact that a friend of his, a TV presenter by the name of Saman, a very famous presenter who worked with him on the GK Tv channel and "was actually killed by a terrorist just because he worked with a PUK channel" was stalked until he entered a car sales area and they took him down.ReviewIn the Hollywood movies we see, most of the villains have almost no depth of character because that seems to be more appreciated by the audience, which is shared on both sides, the jihadists in Hollywood movies or Kurdistan commit atrocities but the only difference is that in Hollywood movies the jihadists are fought hard then get beaten up by the heroes and the Kurds all had almost sad stories with almost the hero losing everything he / she got it and why are we criticizing this? And that's because, as we mentioned earlier, the mirror rule and the rule of success (simulation) fall into the rule of rewards which, on the one hand, make you look good no matter how much No matter how malicious jihadists appear to be, there is always someone to stop them and bring justice. those who are in Hollywood films, while Kurdish films were skeptical about the rule of the mirror and the rule of success, as for the rule of the mirror, how would the public see the jihadists? Probably as scary beings who wreak havoc in the lands without anyone telling them to stop, and it's also depending on whether the rule of success will take away the reward, which will scare the audience and give exactly the opposite reaction which should be taken by the masses and this is not afraid and even so they have a chance to fight.ConclusionCinema has always impressed us both with its., 28.
