Iranian cinema, has experienced basic and visible changes concerning attitudes toward women In several past decade. These changes are so great that show a developing feminist view is prevailing in the scene. These changes can be observed in situations and roles of women in Iranian cinema before and after Islamic revolution. I try in this research to analysis the quality of representation of women in Iranian films made from 1340 to 1370. My target in the research is evaluation of process of changes concerning attitudes towards women. The theoretical framework of essay is gender oppression theory, the concepts and hypothetical approach of this theory are analyzed in
Iranian cinema. The research methods in study are qualitative content analysis as chief method and documentary method as complementary method. For example; some indexical Iranian films are analyzed through content analysis method and documentary method that has been used for general description of gender relationship and situation of women in Iranian cinema for the past four decades. The main finding of the research is that prevailing attitudes toward women discernible in Iranian movies have changed from a patriarchal to a more feminist view.
