It is known that the art of cinema includes organic bonds with the society. It is not possible to think that cinema, which comes from social practices and meets with society, is independent of ideologies. Despite the individual and even social differences, one of the few common points of today's human being is the desire to live a joyful and happy life. Acting on the effect of cinema on the effect of mirroring, influencing and guiding the society, this study starts from the question of how the recipe for a cheerful, happy life is presented in the white screen, and the film Neşeli Hayat (Yılmaz Erdoğan / 2009) has been dealt with the ideological film critique method. As a result of the examination, the film called Neşeli Hayat, which is considered to be similar to many examples in Turkish Cinema history, emphasizes the view that family and family ties are the main determinant of a happy life in the rural urban, traditional-modern conflict. Associated with this message, codes related to the dominant ideology and patriarchal structure are reproduced and legitimized in accordance with social conventions within the film.
