Abstract

Modernity requires specialization, par¬ticipation in the workforce, free and autonomous individual. Specialization is unwar¬ranted/disengaged; the free and autonomous individual brings individualization. This has been seen as an inevitable process. Oriental societies, have not accepted the presence of rest home (also includes the meaning of nursing home). This is evident both in the individuals within the modern western lifestyle and in the individual reflecting the traditional lifestyle that precedes the extended family form. It is again evident that if the Turkish society is formed by rational institutions, even if it does rational programs, it builds its relations and the world of meaning on an emotional basis. At the same time, the elderly and elderly relatives who define themselves as a modern individual have the same meanings to the rest home that it can’t be emotionally distanced from traditional perceptions. If we assume that Cinema Films is a reflection of the society, we can follow the traces of this understanding as follows: With Çınar Ağacı, a rest home film that symbolizes a modern family life and a life based on modern individuals and the White Angel film, presented with a scenario based on human typologies in the traditional, with an emphasis on an extended family both have a negative outlook on the rest home. But it can’t be said that the Turkish society, which opposed the rest home and made it even in the movies, produced permanent and satisfactory solutions for the elderly individuals who are separate from their children.
