The objective of this paper is to indicate how the meaning، ethics، and family crisis as consequences of the late modernity and the capitalism world are represented in four films of González Iñárritu، i.e. ‘Amores Perros’، ‘21 Grams’، ‘Babel’، and ‘Biutiful’. In order to do so we have used a synthetic theoretical model taken from Simmel’s theory of ‘money in modern culture’ and Giddens’s theory of ‘society and self-identity in the late modernity’. Methodologically، we used content analysis method (CAM) to address what our theoretical model claims about González Iñárritu’s movies representing crisis of meaning and family crisis. Some of the research findings include: 1) Characters of the films depict modern men who are trying to survive، while suffering from lack of protective shield of family. Some features of such individuals include: they raise ontological questions، they seek spiritual and moral asylum، and they are in search of pure relationship، 2) Money is one of the alternatives which puts the individual in a network of actors، 3) Some thematic aspects plus narrative and technical structure of the movie “neo-noir “are discoverable، 4) Iñárritu tried to deconstruct ideas of bourgeois modernity and، in return، searches for aesthetic modernity.

ir In this article, the authors have attempted to demonstrate the reflection of the crisis of meaning, ethics, and family as consequences of late modernity and the capitalist world in four films by González Iñárritu: "Amores Perros," "21 Grams," "Babel," and "Biutiful.
González Iñárritu, meaning, family, pure relationship, money Introduction and Problem Statement: Worldview and Alternatives to Meaning in the Modern World Briefly, the aim of this article is to reveal the crisis of meaning and family in Western capitalist society and the extent of social and psychological issues that are identifiable in Iñárritu's films.
Reflecting the Crisis of Meaning and Family in Iñárritu’s Quartet The reflection of the social world in film, as a medium between social life experiences and audiences, has a significant share in portraying existential, identity, meaningful questions, and the decline of the family.
Reflecting social and individual issues, especially the crisis of family and meaning, is one of the common themes of the aforementioned films, and it highlights how the fates of individuals are intertwined with each other by showing enigmatic stories.
Simmel and Giddens, while providing sociological analyses at the micro level and paying attention to how individuals behave and their characteristics in modern society, have critically analyzed some of the coordinates of the social life-world in the space of modernity.
Need for Basic Trust and Pure Relationship In the modern world, individuals need basic trust to protect them from the suffering of social issues, in addition to organizing their personal identity.
