| description | Cinema produces concepts that can help abstract perceptions to be perceived as concrete. One of these concepts is "testimony." In cinema, the representation of the testimony to the war is revealed. The testimony is imaged through cinema. In this article; as an example of classical narrative cinema, focuses on what is imagined and how it is created to "witness war as a child" in Kapo. It is aimed at revealing the "historical and political" analysis of how witnessing the war as a child is related to the film narrative and of witnessing the war. In this direction, Kapo's film is handled with semantical method. Film meaning is revealed by applying some concepts created with the help of cinema and philosophy. The concepts created by the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, which deals with the relationship between cinema and philosophy after the Second World War, are helping to understand the film scenes. The purpose of the novel is to show how the child-witness character Nicole's testimony to the war in Kapo was created. As a result of the work, it appears that the narrative of the film is determinative of "building a child as a witness to war", and that Nicolole, the filmin child character, is treated as "an adult". |
