Abstract

This study examines the representation of public judgment and social moral values in Budi Pekerti, directed by Wregas Bhanuteja. It adopts a descriptive qualitative approach using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis, which encompasses text, discourse practice, and sociocultural practice. Data were collected through repeated film viewing, the recording of dialogue and timestamps, and scene documentation. Four dialogue excerpts are presented to examine the relationship between demands for fairness in queuing, the interpretation of utterances, self-defense, and the dominance of public opinion. The findings show that linguistic choices construct a tension between the reasons for a character’s actions and collective judgments about her. The circulation of fragments of an incident within the narrative shifts attention from a dispute over queuing to Bu Prani’s reputation as a teacher. At the sociocultural level, professional identity and expectations of exemplary conduct become sources of moral pressure. The study concludes that public judgment in the film emerges through the relationship between the context of utterances, information circulation, and the authority of collective evaluation. Its contribution lies in connecting these dimensions as a basis for reflection on critical literacy and digital communication ethics. The conclusions concern representations within the film rather than the behavior of digital society as a whole.
