Abstract
On one hand with AI advances and media becoming increasingly digitalized, there is the hope of getting a more peaceful world as well as futuristic features that will advance social order, justice, and civilization. Yet, the media does not genuinely advance societies since it distorts them and manipulates all types of information, leading to a loss of confidence practically all around the world, and leading humanity to social alienation. Media narratives and applications take us back to ideas that have been forgotten in the depth of history and show us how they are used in a variety of visual mediums, from TV show scripts to blockbuster films. As a result, we miss the opportunity to be truly, cognitively, emotionally, artistically, creatively, aesthetically, and intellectually human. Technically speaking, the type of common law used between the 12th - 19th century among the nations and civilizations where German culture predominates, the phrase"Pandectic law" is used to characterize the structure that Roman law developed through doctrine and practice. People in India, the Middle East, Rome, and nearly all of Europe once used such types of judgments. With the adoption of new legal and ethical criteria, national and international laws were modernized, and Pandect law was forgotten. However, it is still possible to see the traces and application of Pandect Law in many modern time narratives, especially Snowpiercer, which is one of the important films showing the dystopic future of humanity. This study aims to provide the links to see how modern media is taking its core power from myths and earlier times and connecting them to the predicted future of humanity even in the age of digitalization and AI. Specifically, the paper aims to exemplify the links between the Pandect Law of the 12th century and famous television serials or blockbuster films such as Snowpiercer. Based on a descriptive approach, this study aims to analyze the images, TV series, and movies using both structural and semiotic analysis methodology.
