If we recall that 130 years ago, the art of cinema penetrated the hearts of viewers through its first screenings, in particular, on this very day, the first short films were shown in the world, then we must not forget that during this long period, the art of cinema went through a complex path of development. After all, the fact that the first films, ranging from just 3 episodes to 50 seconds, are now 2-3 hours long, sometimes longer, indicates the most prominent image of the development of cinema. One can talk for hours about the artistic and ideological aspects of cinema, the development ofits technical capabilities. If we look at the history of the development of Uzbek cinema, it is true that it was formed and developed through these complex and difficult stages, creating a unique direction, creating the national image oftoday's Uzbekcinema and having national heroes. Speaking about the art of Uzbek cinema, it is important to remember that the films filmed in 2024 and their artistic foundations reflect the influence on today's Uzbek cinema and Uzbek viewers, theirculture, and theworldview oftoday's Uzbeksociety. First of all, if we talk about the achievements and joyful moments, in 2024 more than ten films were shot on the basis of the state order, and the films that went on screen differed from previous years in the diversity of themes, the desire to cover various genres, the expansion of technical capabilities, and the greater involvement of young people in the art of cinema. It is known that in previous years, the predominance of one theme or genre was noticeable. In 2024, the range of topics has expanded significantly, and in turn, the names of new creators have also increased significantly. The films "Yalangto'sh Bahodir" (Jahongir Ahmedov) or "Mahtumquli Firog'iy" (Muzaffarkhon Erkinov), shot as part of the "Living History" project, aroused great interest among viewers. As is known, historical films have always interested viewers. Especially if it's about a person who has become the pride of the Uzbek people. An attempt to elevate the personalities of well-known and famous commanders, scholars, and poets who have performed many heroic deeds in history to the level of a nation's image, and the filming of films about creators whose work is valued as a universal heritage, is a positive phenomenon. It is the moral duty of every society to make films about such people. Of course, well aware of this, the heads of government and filmmakers are paying serious attention to thisissue. It is worth noting theefforts in thisregard. page1337 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ISSN:2692-5206,ImpactFactor:12,23 AmericanAcademicpublishers,volume05,issue02,2025 Journal: https://www.academicpublishers.org/journals/index.php/ijai However, the fact that there are several subtleties in filming such historical figures today becomes apparent when the film is released. The positive aspect is that for young people who have somewhat distanced themselves from today's book, detailed information about historical figures, their accomplishments, their lives and activities, and creative work will be presented "live" in a 2-3 hour film. In this regard, the directors' research and efforts certainly play an important role. The film reveals the directors' collaboration with historians. It would not be an exaggeration to say that in both films, the atmosphere of the time was reflected, in the costumes, even in thedialect ofthelanguage. Various opinions were expressed about the above-mentioned films, and each viewer has their own opinion on this matter. However, based on artistic principles, one aspect of these films must be firmly emphasized. Since it was about a great personality, all events had to be built around him, and throughout the film's events, his dreams, struggles, heroism, crisis, sorrows, emotional experiences, turmoil, determination, and the inner essence that held him as a personality had to be revealed. Unfortunately, both the film "Yalangto'sh Bahodir" and "Maxtumquli Firog'iy" lacked these aspects. In particular, we see brief battle episodes of Bahodir Yalangto'sh (actor Habibullo Nizomov) at the beginning and end of the film. Then, wounded, he is portrayed in bed, ill, until the end of the film. A natural question arises: is the film's protagonist Bahodir Yalangto'sh, and if so, why does Bukhara Khan Nazir Muhammadxon (actor Behzod Muhammadkarimov) come and solve all existing problems? The main problem in the film is related to the issue of
