The present paper seeks to explain symbolization in the Sacred Defense Cinema from Mircea Eliade's view, which is discussed in two Movies Didehban (The Scout) Mohajer (The Immigrant).

The data have been gathered through library studies and watching the movies, and have been explained descriptively and comparatively.

According to Mircea Eliade, symbol has sacred manifestation, and man can acquire real knowledge of sacred realms through it and based on his own activism. Based on this view, a way to understand symbolization is investigating religions and denominations through ethnological and ritual lens. Each devotional and religious deed includes a part of symbolization and tries to direct religious man towards a truth beyond experience. For example, we can refer to Iranian warriors' activism during Sacred Defense, which has had symbolic representation and was scenic for people.

The results show that a sacred atmosphere will be created to the extent that the personality's act is in higher existential stage of sacred thing in certain time and place, and ordinary things and affairs acquire symbolic manifestation. In the movies Didehban and Mohajer, personalities' acts in certain event and critical situation create sacred atmosphere, and stage equipment and thing acquire symbolic representation.

The present paper seeks to review how narration and different cinema techniques are used and applied in the genre of docudrama.

The data have been analyzed using descriptive-analytical method. Neoformalism approach has been used as a qualitative analysis method to analyze the capacities of narration and technique in two docudrama of "Istadeh dar Qobar" (Standing in the Dust) and "Pedar Taleqani" (father Taleqani) about the reflection of Islamic Revolution.

Such film makers as Mahdawian and Movahhid Doost in two docudramas of "Istadeh dar Qobar" (Standing in the Dust) and "Pedar Taleqani" have had relatively acceptable performance in reflecting the history of Islamic Revolution properly, using two key elements of "narration" and "technique".

A neoformalistic analysis of these two docudramas show that film makers can greatly use the maximal capacity in the form of docudrama to make the features of events and key personalities of Islamic Revolution plausible, deep, and recognized.
