Abstract

The study examined the representation of human trafficking in the movie Taken (2008) and its impact on public perception. Utilizing a qualitative approach, data was gathered through script analysis and interviews with 30 informed respondents, based on Maggy Lee's theory of human trafficking, Aristotle's rhetoric, and Chernobrov's insights on public perception. Findings indicate that Taken portrays various forms of human trafficking, including modern slavery and sexual exploitation, while also highlighting the connections between organized crime and migration. The character Peter employs rhetorical strategies to build trust and manipulate victims, illustrating the complexities of victimization. Although the movie raises awareness about human trafficking, it inadequately represents the psychological trauma experienced by victims. The results provide insights into how cinematic portrayals influence public understanding of human trafficking and shape societal attitudes. The analysis underscores the intricate relationship between media narratives and public perception, revealing how the Taken informs audiences about a critical social issue while also exposing its limitations in depicting the full scope of victim experiences. By focusing on these aspects, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the impact of popular media on societal views regarding human trafficking.

Abstract

The research aims to analyse internal and external conflicts along with their causes and impacts in the film Triangle of Sadness (2022), written by Ruben Ostlund. The analysis is conducted using the conflict theory developed by Kenney (1966). The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with the primary data source being the film script consisting of 98 pages. In addition, the study is supported by various relevant literature, journals, and articles. The data collection was carried out through repeated readings, note-taking of dialogues, and focused analysis based on the categories of internal conflict (man vs. self) and external conflict (man vs. man, man vs. society, man vs. nature) in accordance with the applied theory. The results indicated 15 instances of internal conflict, generally depicting the characters’ inner struggles, such as threats to self-esteem, jealousy, perceived gender role injustice, and emotional dilemmas. There were 10 instances of external conflict were identified, predominantly involving disputes between characters, particularly related to power struggles, differences in social status, and clashes of interest. The impacts of these conflicts include relationship breakdowns, social tension, decreased trust, and mental as well as emotional strain. The main causes of conflict include gender role inequality, socio-economic disparities, shifts in power dynamics, and pressures from social norms. The study reveals that Triangle of Sadness not only critiques social injustice and gender roles but also highlights how power and status can change rapidly in difficult situations, thereby influencing the characters’ identities, values, and actions.
