Cinema addressing of Machiavellian theory between creativity and threatening social values -A case study of the movie “The Dark Knight”
Abstract
This research paper revolves around studying the mechanism of cinematic language dealing with Machiavellian thinking and the way in which the ideas of this theory are conveyed to the viewing audience, and then look at how the recipients deal with it to study the repercussions on societal values as well as societal security. For this purpose, The Dark Knight movie was chosen as an intentional sample, the case study as a method and the analytical observation as a research tool. Where the focus will be on the cinematic discourse of the film from a technical point of view as well as the manifestations that would establish ideas and behaviours that are hostile to values and moral standards, which may threaten mass culture and stability at the individual and collective levels
