Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of violence in romantic relationships shown in the film It Ends With Us through the perspective of contemporary feminism. The focus of this study is how forms of violence, both physical and emotional, are represented and how the film reflects or challenges patriarchal values that are still dominant in interpersonal relationships. The research method used is textual analysis with a qualitative approach, referring to contemporary feminism theories that highlight issues of power, gender, and women's agency. The results show that the movie depicts relationship violence as a complex experience that is often wrapped up in the dynamics of love and forgiveness. Furthermore, the film features the main female character's struggle to redefine her position as an empowered individual in the midst of an oppressive situation. The findings make an important contribution to the discourse on critical awareness of gender-based violence in popular media and its relevance to contemporary feminist struggles.

Abstract

This paper explores the cultural representation in Turning Red, focusing on the use of symbolism and stereotypes. Through an analysis of key motifs and visual elements in the film examines how the narrative reflects and challenges cultural identities, particularly those within the Asian diaspora. The study applies a qualitative content analysis methodology, identifying and interpreting symbols related to culture, tradition, and family dynamics. Key results reveal that the film uses the metaphor of transformation to represent the protagonist’s struggle with generational expectations while also highlighting stereotypes associated with Asian heritage. The analysis also shows how these symbols are both subverted and reinforced throughout the film, creating a complex portrayal of cultural identity. In conclusion, Turning Red presents a nuanced perspective on cultural representation, using symbolism and stereotypes to challenge and affirm cultural narratives, ultimately offering a deeper understanding of generational conflict and cultural belonging.
