TI  - Aliens as Creator Gods in Hollywood Cinema
AB  - Cinema, which incorporates visual and auditory elements, has been one of the most important inventions of humanity. In particular, its effective reach to the masses has enabled it to emerge as an effective power over societies. Any film of cinema is not only a work that aims to entertain the masses, but also a product that sets the agenda of individuals and societies, affects their world of thought, and imposes the reality it contains on societies. Cinema, which tries to produce new realities in every field, has also tried to create virtual realities in areas that religions attach importance to. One of the new truths that cinema tries to create is the subject of creation. Creation, which is also the main subject of religions, is the phenomenon that cinema has processed and reconstructed the most. Aliens are one of the myths that cinema uses against the creation narrative of theistic thought. While fictionalising the subject of creation and creating virtual realities through this fiction, cinema creates a new reality through the idea of aliens. By combining the agenda of popular culture with religious, cultural and mythological elements, cinema brings new explanations to life on earth. This fiction is used effectively in fantasy and science fiction films. At this point, the aim of our study is to analyse the creation fictions of Hollywood films and the alien myths used in these fictions in the context of aliens, the most colourful element of popular culture.
