The main concern of this paper is to mention the theoretical complexity of the images analysis for presenting a model for critical discourse analysis of movies. In this article we have tried to use the three-dimensional model of Norman Fairclough’s systematic approach. However the tools that Fairclough has introduced are more suitable for written texts not for visual texts. Therefore the social semiotics and the approaches of Rick Iedema, Theo van Leeuwen, Gillian Rose and Gunther Kress have been used and then by merging those with the three-dimensional model of Fairclough, a suitable model for analyzing the movies has been obtained.<em></em> The Growth of dominance of images in this era and the dominance of ‘visual culture’, cause analyzing picture as well as visual text to be more important.
