Abstract :The period between 1970 and 1980 is a very important process in Turkey. During this period, political stability deteriorated. Political powers were short lived. Many different ideologies dominated the period. Ideological divisions have turned into political conflict and violence. These ideologies used different propaganda tools to gather more supporters. Publications (books, magazines, etc.), press, television, cassettes (music), radio and cinema can be counted among the propaganda tools that were effective in the period. In our study, we focused on the question of how conservative thought and leftist thought use cinema. In this context, the movies named \"Umut\" and \"Birleşen Yollar\" were chosen as samples. When the films in question are examined carefully, it is seen that these films produce completely opposite messages. Therefore, these films were evaluated in the context of propaganda and counter-propaganda in our study. The movie \"Umut\" is under the influence of realism. On the other hand, the movie called \"Birleşen Yollar\" was shot under the influence of romance. Our study was supported by the information obtained by scanning the period newspapers. The subject has been tried to be further clarified by examining some of the other films shot in that period. Referring to oral testimonies and conducting a literature study can be counted among the other methods of our study.Keywords : Propaganda, Karşı Propaganda, Yücel Çakmaklı, Yılmaz Güney, Sinema
