While women who are
shy, vulnerable, virgin are introduced us as innocent women, women who are
strong, can stand on its own feet, have sex with different males are introduced
us as dirty women. Thats the motto of Turkey. Because, people, living in this
Country, have been assimilated by Eastern essence. According to Eastern's
traditions, women should serve to men and adhere to their partner's. Despiting
the fact that Some people inherent and live in European side of the country,
some of these people still have the eastern essence and reflect this to their
characters.
The reflection of the
subject, mentioned above, can be seen sometimes in abstract way, sometimes melodramatic,
sometimes realistic on Turkish Cinema and Turkish Tv Series. But, regardless
the form of expression, this subject has being worked many times and will still
being worked.
In Turkish Cinema,
Women has always come forward with the roles that these roles match with the
real life. Women devotes themselves to their husbands and they usually are
loyal mothers. Especially in the past Turkish cinema period, in Melodrams,
Women's role in Turkey are shown in exaggerated way. Woman always encounters
with problems that these reveals the protagonist's characters. The stereotypes
of these women are; fatalistic and self-sacrificing women. These women are
capable of tolerating many things. On the other hand, the stereotype of bad
women are prominence sexuality and they usually wear racy outfits.
Turkish people
assimilate the Islam that It is so normal for women to stay in backgroung
according to men. According to previous laws, men would have more rights than
women. The all of them can be appearantly seen in Turkish movies especially in
Melodrams.
If we consider all
countries in World actually, In almost all countries of the world have the same
issue and handles with this issue by Cinema. There is a patriarchal society
fact that This society continues for a long time in history. Even, the word itself
'history' displays this fact that this word is the combination of 'his' and
'story' !
Woman, who have being
considered as a secondary person, always become a plot for movies in all around
the world. A Chinese movie called 'raise the red lantern' is a perfect movie,
handles with this issue. If we turn to Turkish movies, ' to be the second
person' issue have being handled in terms of many phenomenon. Inspite of the
fact that it is not as much as common as past, women are still not equal with
man. In Herd (Sürü), directed by Zeki Ökten, it can be encountered with a women
who can not give a birth, is exclused by her husband's father. Because not
giving a birth is seen like a curse. The woman shows her response with silence
that most women still react with silence in front of the injustice. The events
happen in rural area. Actually, mostly, the injustice, suffered by woman,
usually happens in underdeveloped places. Still, there are blood feud, polygamy
for men, at the east side. If it is thought about the movie named ' Kızım Ayşe
(1974), the protagonist woman migrates from rural area to urban area. She moves
next to her sister that her sister has grown in urban area. While the woman ,
raised in rural area, is shown as the pure one, the other one is shown as the
seductive and evil woman in the movie. The protagonist has been raised depends
on the region that in muslim, there are lots of restrictions for woman.
If the Iranian Cinema
is considered, it can be encountered with most of movies including these kind
of women issues, too.
Being the second woman can not just be encountered in Turkish Cinema but
also can be encountered in Turkish Tv Series. Especially in this period, woman
who has a leading role in series, is usually shy, unprotected, virgin. This
type of woman creates an ideal innocent image that this image match with the
Turkey's tradition. This kinds of subjects always result with high rating,
since, public feel this issue close.
