Abstract
In this article, using the pattern of "culture-nature" in Lutman's cultural semiotics,by looking at the patriarchal manifestations applied to Iranian and Afghan women, relying on the female characters of the two films "Seven and Half" and "Drowning in Holy Water", the product of Mahmoudi brothers is discussed. The reproductive nature of women caused the mentality of men to be cultured and as a result to subjugate them, which men showed with signs (humiliation, violence, using women as tools, etc.). This research is written in a documentary form based on observation and study, using a descriptive-analytical method, in a qualitative and fundamental manner. The main question is that in Iranian and Afghan culture, in what ways is men's culture compared to women's nature? The results reveal that Afghan men show their culture by showing almost all types of patriarchy, while Iranian men show a limited number of these signs. In addition, Afghan women show more acceptance of these signs and aspects of their nature than Iranian women. Afghan women receive these signs from all the men in their lives, but Iranian women often see the signs from their husbands.
