Tradition has the power of sanction to some extent. As it means transferring the values from the past to the next generation, tradition contains “continuity” in itself. Depending on socio- cultural conditions, this continuity has to update itself in order to continue its existence. At the point of this update, the elements belonging to tradition have to transfer the elements existing in its essence to the contemporary age without moving away from the original very much. In this assertion, “Duha Koca Oğlu Deli Dumrul” which is the fifth story of the Book of Dada Gorgud (Dede Korkut), one of the most important works of Turkish oral tradition, and two motion pictures which are “Deli Dumrul Kurtlar Kuşlar Âleminde” and “Hop Dedik: Deli Dumrul” are compared with regards to “dramatis personal casting”, time and place and course of events. In the introductory chapter, the similarities and differences between the aforementioned two works are detected. Then it is discussed to what extent the tradition is maintained in the motion pictures and how successfully variations and updating of tradition are fulfilled. In the conclusion part, some suggestions regarding this issue are stated UR - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/egetdid/issue//380823 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/407024 ER -
