Abstract

Waiting for the savior has a special place in western cinema; In general Hollywood apocalyptic movies, a terrible future is presented for humans and Islam is introduced as an ineffective, violent and terrifying religion to tell the audience that Zionist Christianity is the savior religion. Hollywood, by distorting and destroying the savior of Islam, i.e. Imam Zaman, presents to the audience a savior defined and approved by itself. They are trying to change the fundamental beliefs of Shia by using the media and methods of concept induction and persuasion techniques. Because a change in a person's values ​​causes a change in his norms, and a change in norms causes a change in a person's lifestyle; This process continues slowly until the person gradually becomes alienated from his own culture and beliefs. The influence of Zionism and their ideas in Western media and Hollywood is an undeniable and widespread debate. One of the goals of the Zionists is to make the society what the devil wants, not God; And that's why the Hollywood culture is Satan's culture and in line with Satan's goals.

This article is done with a descriptive-analytical method and a discourse analysis approach. In this research, ten top and best-selling Hollywood movies were selected to show the hidden discourse in this cinema. The researcher has tried to write down the distortion, destruction and biased editing of cinema and show the truth of Hollywood's saviorism in his films. At the end, some suggestions have been presented to increase people's awareness in the field of Mahdism.
