摘要
This study aims to examine the reflections of violence and postmodern elements on film narrative and language in the Scorsese cinema. In this context, the literature section of the paper focuses on postmodern narratives in cinema and their relationship with violence. In the findings section, this paper analyzes the Scorsese cinema based on the theoretical background provided in the literature review by applying grounded theory as a qualitative research methodology. It is observed that the director does not present violence as an element of entertainment in his films. Rather, by maintaining a postmodern attitude, he constructs violence in a structure that serves the characters' ambitions asan ordinary and unpretentious phenomenon. In conclusion, even though the films differ from one another in terms of subject, genre, character, story and plot, time, and space; it was revealed that they were surrounded by similar themes and motifs in the context of violence and postmodernism.
