Changes in the society are sometimes slow, sometimes fast but necessarily a continuing phenomenon with a painful process. This phenomenon, especially after the 17th century, has also penetrated into sports, modernization has also become visible in sports. Changes and developments seen in sports progress interactively with modernization. As sports and modernization progressed like a spiral that affects each other, from time to time directly, sometimes indirectly and implicitly, this situation has also been reflected in the works of art. “Does sports play a role in the development and modernization of society? If so, what role does it play?” Although such questions are not clear in the world of the 21st century, it can be seen in some works of art how and in which aspects sports can support modernization in society. One of these works of art is the A.R.O.G movie. The purpose of this research is to explain how sports has an effect on modernization with the metaphors presented to the audience in the A.R.O.G movie.
