In this paper, we aim to answer the question of how “divorce” is represented in Iranian movies produced during 1980s. The questions raised in the framework of representation theory. To answer the key question, 21 films which has been made in the decade of 1380, were studied through content analysis method. Thus, reverse questionnaire was prepared and films were analyzed basing on content analysis.
Findings show that Iranian movies present kind of popular knowledge about social problems such as divorce in their narrations. The findings also show this assumption that Iranian films have basic information such as age and sex composition, social class, employment status information of divorced actor and actress and various information about their social and family relationships, attitudes and lifestyles. In addition, manufacturers often provide explanation of the divorce of their characters in their movies.
