The Evaluation of the Movie "Thou Gild'st the Even" in Terms of Existential Philosophy

Abstract

This study was conducted to examine how the concepts of existential philosophy are addressed in the movie. Employing phenomenology, one of the qualitative research methods, the study was carried out with 15 university students. The study data were collected by interviewing the participating students. Within this context, the movie was evaluated through the eyes of existential philosophy using the concepts of existence. The study revealed that the way the characters in the movie handled existence problems was related to their own characters and that life is a place to be questioned and the depth of meaning of life, the anxiety of life, existence and nothingness were all together.
