Özet

Cinema is a branch of art that uses images. In this context, cinema can take Orientalism to a different dimension with images by using its own narrative language. In this study, the 2006 film Babel by Mexican director Alejandro G. Iñárritu is analyzed in order to show how the orientalist elements were constructed in the West's (Occident) otherization of the East (Orient). As a result of the analysis, it is seen that Babel put forward everything that is related to the East since its first scene, mostly with an orientalist point of view, in a way that alienates the East. The film is based on the fact that the language of the marginalized can never be understood, and therefore, there is always a difference between the West and the East. © 2021, IGI Global.
