Identity Expression Of Father And Children Relationship In The Gara – Gara Warisan Film

Abstract

Film is one of the mass communication media that is quite effective in conveying messages. A film is often made to represent reality and problems that occur in people's lives, including family issues and parenting. The father's role in parenting also makes an important contribution to the child's development. Experiences shared with a father will influence a child's behavior into adulthood. One of the films that raises this issue is the film Gara-Gara Warisan (2020) which tells about a family conflict where the father has favoritism towards his children. This study aims to analyze how the identity expression of the relationship between father and son is portrayed in the film. By using Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis and Geert Hofstede's cultural dimension, he looks at how Indonesian culture influences collective ways of thinking and human behavior, including the issue of parenting. This research shows that there are several scenes that depict the influence of Indonesian cultural dimensions on the father's upbringing, such as the high power distance between father and son, uncertainty avoidance in the future and career of the child, restraint (restraint) on freedom, collectivism in parenting, masculinity, femininity, and future orientation (long term orientation) that will be faced by the family.
