THE METROPOLIS AND THE INDIVIDUALS: AN ANALYSIS THROUGH NURİ BİLGE CEYLAN’S DISTANT
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Metropolitan cities have distinctive characteristics distinguishing them from the country. People living in these big cities can have an urbanized character in terms of their lifestyles and personality traits. This study analyses the relationships and lifestyles of the persons living in metropolitan cities through Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s film Distant (2002). The film Distant is particularly analysed by benefiting from Georg Simmel’s considerations related to individuals taking material values as a criterion, having a “blasé attitude†and the individuality coming into prominence. The aim of this study is to reveal how these urban behaviours which permeate individuals migrating to metropolis cities cause depersonalization.
