Abstract

In this article, films with the themes of homelessness and fear of consciousness in the thought of Suhrawardi and Heidegger are analyzed by asking the question of what is the origin of these themes. Descent and existence seem to be the beginning of the problem. The purpose of this study is a comparative study of Enlightenment and Heideggerian thought in the works of Fereydoun Rahnama and Michelangelo Antonioni. To analyze these themes in the field of cinema, Henry Carbon's phenomenological approach has been done by analytical-comparative method. The reason for choosing Carbon phenomenology as a student of both schools of thought is that his phenomenology is a combination of phenomenology and interpretation. Suhrawardi's anthropology has led to one of the most basic themes of carbon, namely, "Nostalgia" The present study shows that the original choice of "being of me" by Dasein and the epistemology of "return to me" by the earthly self will be the reason for the accompanying aesthetic basis of historical and meta-historical course in these two cinematic approaches. In this article, based on the origin and function of the concepts of "Dasein" and "descent", "existence oriented to death" in films with the theme of Anxiety and "existence oriented beyond death" in films with the theme of Nostalgia have been interpreted.
