Abstract
Objective: This research aims to examine the socio-political themes presented in the film "The Glass Agency," articulated through narrative elements, character development, conflict, and dialogue, to determine how each of these elements contributes to crafting a successful socio-political screenplay.
Research Methodology: This study employs an analytical method with a qualitative approach. It is conducted through an analytical-descriptive examination of the dramatic narrative of the aforementioned work.
Findings: The research identified numerous socio-political themes in "The Glass Agency," which Hatamikia has concretized and depicted through its dramatic elements. The objectification of these themes is present in all elements of the drama. Nonetheless, the primary theme within the narrative is the neglect of veterans and martyrs by the government, characterized by a duality in governance, conflicts that undermine revolutionary values due to political disputes, and dialogues that defend the revolution and its ideals.
Discussion and Conclusion: The findings indicate that the theme of protest is a common thread among all themes presented in "The Glass Agency." Furthermore, Hatamikia transforms this theme and others by converting them into characters, shaping conflicts from these character interactions, and ultimately constructing the narrative and plot around these themes as dramatic elements.
