Abstract

This paper examines the theme of perseverance in the animated film Kung Fu Panda (2008), focusing on the journey of the protagonist, Po, as an embodiment of resilience and determination. The story follows Po, an overweight and unskilled panda, who dreams of becoming a kung fu master. Po is unexpectedly chosen as the Dragon Warrior, tasked with protecting the Valley of Peace. Through hard work, belief in himself, and overcoming self-doubt, Po demonstrates that perseverance, rather than natural talent, is the key to success. The purpose of this study is to analyze how Po’s character arc reflects the importance of perseverance in overcoming adversity and achieving personal growth. The research adopts a narrative analysis approach, focusing on Po’s interactions with other characters throughout the film. This paper explores how Po’s perseverant journey aligns with Albert Bandura’s concept of self-efficacy, where persistence, belief in one’s abilities, and overcoming negative feedback led to eventual success. The analysis reveals that Po’s perseverance is key not only to his success as the Dragon Warrior but also to his self-acceptance and personal fulfilment. The conclusion highlights how the film serves as an inspirational narrative, teaching audiences that persistence and belief in oneself are vital components of achieving greatness, regardless of one’s initial circumstances.

Abstract

This study examines how bad social life conditions contribute to the development of thanatophobia in the main character, Mickey Barnes, in Bong Joon Ho’s film Mickey 17 (2025). Thanatophobia refers to the fear of death and the anxiety related to mortality. Using a qualitative descriptive method and applying Ernest Becker’s theory of death anxiety, this research analyzes selected dialogues, scenes, and character interactions that reflect social degradation, economic instability, dehumanization, and authoritarian control. The findings reveal that Mickey’s poor social environment marked by economic desperation, manipulation, violence, disposability, and loss of autonomy intensifies his awareness of mortality and reinforces his existential anxiety. The study concludes that Mickey’s fear of death does not emerge merely from repeated physical deaths, but from the social system that treats him as replaceable and strips him of human dignity.
