Abstract

Through the lens of Marxist criticism, this study investigates class struggle and ideology as depicted in the 2016 animated feature Zootopia. It aims to reveal how constructed ideologies contribute to shaping class struggles and how false ideologies. The film, which portrays a society divided into predators and prey, was examined to understand how labor exploitation and ideological dominance reflect Karl Marx's and Engel's Marxist theory (1847 & 1867). Qualitative methodology was employed in this study, with data collection focusing on the examination of particular scenes, spoken dialogue, and various cinematic elements: camera positioning, lighting design, and musical accompaniment. As the results: 1) Class Divisions: the film illustrates how societal ideologies, particularly the "predator vs prey" binary, are instilled from a young age, shaping perceptions and forming class divisions. This early indoctrination influences individuals' ideological perspectives and their views of different groups. 2) False Consciousness and Structural Power Abuse: Zootopia demonstrates how false consciousness is formed when individuals accept socially constructed roles as natural, even when these roles are designed to maintain a hierarchy that favors dominant groups. The film shows how structural power and institutions, like the ZPD, are abused to reinforce the "predator vs prey" hierarchy, placing prey in subordinate roles despite their qualifications. 3) Emergence of Class Consciousness and Social Transformation: The study highlights that the exposure of Bellwether's conspiracy results in an "ideological awakening," revealing that the predator-prey conflict is not natural but a constructed political tool. At its core, the paper argues that Zootopia successfully reveals the transformative power of exposing institutional inequalities to awaken collective consciousness and enable societal reform. This study is significant for social awareness of how constructed ideologies in popular media plays a crucial role in shaping how individuals perceive social struggles and inequality.

Abstract

This research aims to deep dive into the issues of class struggle, exploitation, and power, shown in the 1998 Pixar movie, “A Bug’s Life”, through the lens of Marxism theory. This analysis was conducted using the Marxist perspective from the book Das Capital, Volume I (1990) by Karl Marx. By using a qualitative close reading method, the data were collected through the deep observation of the cinematography and themes present, repeated viewing of scenes and narratives, plot and storyline reading based on the Marxism concepts to strengthen the arguments. Hence the findings show: 1) Symbolic Representation of Classes: The grasshoppers symbolize the bourgeoisie, or ruling class, which exploits the ants, representing the proletariat or working class, by taking their production without contributing to it, mirroring Marx's concept of workers being bound by "invisible threads" and working out of necessity for survival This exploitation is maintained through psychological control and fear, rather than overt physical force 2) Initial Acceptance of Oppression: The ants initially accept and believe that their oppression is the "natural order" of things before their class consciousness emerges, leading them to unite. This reflects the Marxist idea that those in power make workers believe the exploitative system is normal and necessary. The ants' fear and perceived powerlessness keep them obedient, despite their numerical superiority. 3) Empowerment through Collective Action: Once united and realizing they have nothing to lose, their group solidarity empowers them to overthrow the unnatural and exploitative system, aligning with Marx's view that the proletariat gains power through collective strength. The film highlights how fear sustains power and a rigid social hierarchy. However, achieving class consciousness enables collective action to dismantle this oppression. The main objective of this research is to uncover the themes in the story whilst making them understandable, and for readers to comprehend and to be aware of the importance of knowing social issues in movies.

Abstract

This study looks at psychological themes such as trauma, independence, and overprotectiveness in parents that are often rooted to past trauma and fear. The movie Finding Nemo (2003) strongly portrays them through Marlin's unresolved grief of losing his loved one and past trauma. Examining how Marlin's trauma influences his overprotective behaviour towards Nemo, how Nemo’s pursuit of independence represents a child’s desire for freedom from parental control, and how the opposing forces of freedom and oppression reflect the Freudian theory, “The Unconscious” (1957). Using Freud’s concepts of the unconscious, repression, melancholia, and repetition compulsion combined with selected scenes, dialogues, and cinematography from the movie to analyze Marlin’s behavior. As the results: 1) Marlin's overprotective character stems from his past trauma of losing his loved ones, leading him to constantly monitor Nemo and undermine his confidence. 2) Nemo's defiance of his father's warnings is an expression of a child's drive for independence and autonomy from parental supervision. 3) This quest for freedom is intensified by Nemo's need to validate his own abilities, particularly after feeling undermined by Marlin's overprotective and restrictive language. The film effectively demonstrates how Marlin's unresolved trauma and guilt shape his parenting often manifesting as anger and prevent him from allowing Nemo the space to grow. The study concludes that by analyzing Finding Nemo demonstrates how trauma can drive unconscious decision making and how childhood independence grows when parents confront and overcome their own trauma. It offers insights into the impact of trauma on parenting, the development of independence, and the unconscious forces that shape relationships and personal growth.

Abstract

The purpose of the work was to investigate the Superman (2025) movie, by employing a postcolonial approach to show how the movie creates the concepts of identity, the rules of power, and cultural identity in modern society. Within a qualitative approach, the study used scene based textual analysis, narrative sequence close reading, and visual analysis of cinematography as the main methods of data collection. This methodology involved the interpretive analysis of dialogue, interaction of characters, political symbolism and media representations in order to discover how the postcolonial tensions, instilled in the movie. Based on a theoretical framework formulated by Homi K. Bhabha (1994/2004), the concept of hybridity, mimicry, ambivalence, and the Third Space, the paper studied Superman as a hybrid character who struggles with opposing identities between his kryptonian heritage and human origins. The findings: 1) Superman is not depicted as a unified national hero but as a form of ambivalent subject, shaped by the plays of hybridity; 2) Lex Luthor thus represents Bhabha, the mimicry, as it employed imitation, technological reproduction and performance to challenge a superior Other; and 3) the film demonstrates heroism as a moral cultural struggle not a physical one, subversing the discourse of traditional hegemonies. The paper concludes that the Superman (2025) movie introduces the superhero as a colonizer and colonized, exposing interstrata tension of belonging, power, and resistance in the world of the film. The study contributes to the modern postcolonial discussion in popular cinematography and that the future research may conduct the comparative analysis of other texts of superheroes, how the audience receives postcolonial images, or how the theme of hybrid identity becomes reflected in the world media.

Abstract

This study aims to view the different gender portrayals of females in society from the film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)”. In the point of view of patriarchal society, the females are often depicted as passive and innocent individuals. By using the qualitative method and Feminist-Psychoanalysis framework by Gilbert, S. M., & Gubar, S. (1979), this research investigated the idealization of women and different treatment of men and women. The analysis of the film, as the primary object of study, involves close examination of its cinematography and dialogue to enrich the data. As a result: 1) Snow White and the Evil Queen represent contrasting attitudes of women in the patriarchal society and get different treatment by the men. 2) The ideal beauty of Snow White intimidates the Evil Queen’s jealousy, leading to a mother-daughter conflict. 3) The different treatment of men and women contributes to the shaping of female trauma through the character's past events. This analysis highlights the reality of how females are often treated and how societal norms frequently frame women identity based and appearance and personality. Understanding this dynamic is important to recognize that women are always treated differently. Hopefully, this study would enhance the study of feminism and encourage further research into these critical issues. Future research could explore more whether they uphold or challenge old gender ideas. It would also be valuable to study how today's viewers understand the film's gender roles and beauty standards.

Abstract

This research examines “Brave” through the lens of feminist literary criticism, by using Gender Trouble (1990) by Judith Butler, it focuses on how the story addresses gender roles in patriarchal society and a mother daughter relationship, exploring the role of women in ‘Brave’ society. As a result 1) Traditional gender roles are being forced therefore limiting women's freedom and reinforcing patriarchal authority. In this film Merida's behavior and actions do not follow the traditional gender roles or what they expected her to be, she was challenging it. 2) The conflict between Elinor and Merida shows how traditional gender roles are passed down through generations. Elinor pushes tradition but Merida wants freedom, so this limits Merida’s choices and identity. 3) Merida's leadership style represents her willingness to have freedom and choose her own path. She also showed that she is brave to express her thoughts and feelings. These elements reflect the expectations that society expects women to be. This also shows that women have to be brave to get their freedom. This is important to encourage women and young audiences to understand about gender, identity, and power. We hope that future researchers can explore other animated films that portray resistance to gender norms and a conflict between mother and daughter.

Abstract

This study analyzed The Three Little Pigs through the theoretical framework of Maria Tatar’s Moral Development Theory (2009), identifying the consequences of preparation vs. impulsivity, the value of preparation for young audiences, and the role of a narrative device in testing preparedness and impulsivity. The story focuses on the three pigs, who moved out from their parents house to build their own, then the Big Bad Wolf destroyed the first two pig’s houses that were made of sticks and straws, but when it comes to the third pig’s house, the wolf could not destroy it because it was made of stones. The finding reveals: 1) Preparation leads the third pig to safety and success, meanwhile the first two pigs have to experience the consequences of impulsivity which is the wolf’s attack. This outcome demonstrates the moral lesson of the tale: the importance of foresight, diligence, and hard work. The story highlights how careful preparation and effort lead to security and success, while impulsivity and shortcuts result in vulnerability and failure. 2) The narrative’s outcome shows the importance of preparation and how impulsivity can lead to negative consequences. The first two pigs were rushing to construct their homes which resulted in their houses getting destroyed. Meanwhile, the third pig was patient and didn’t rush things which led to the house being safe from the wolf. 3) The big bad wolf serves as a narrative device to test the resilience of the three little pigs’ houses, figuring out who is the best at planning to build.

Abstract

This study uses Hobbes’s Power Theory, The Social Contract Theory, from Leviathan (1651), as the main lens to analyze the movie, Minions: The Rise of Gru. Using a qualitative method of the research minions ac, the film's narrative, the research identifies three main Hobbesian parallels: 1) The Minions’ initial chaotic and ungoverned behavior perfectly represents the State of Nature, characterized by self-interest and disorder. 2) Gru's early actions, including his challenge to and theft from the Vicious 6, illustrate the inherent Hobbesian struggle for power and the conflict between individual ambition and existing authority. 3) Gru’s ultimate rise to leadership and the imposition of rules demonstrates the creation of the Leviathan (sovereign authority), which is necessary to curb chaos and unify the group with a shared purpose. The study concludes that the film supports Hobbes's central thesis: that strong authority and control are essential for transitioning from anarchy to a stable, purposeful society. It demonstrates that modern animation can serve as a literal case study for the Social Contract, where subjects trade total freedom for the protection of a "Sovereign." This research calls for further research by contrasting Hobbes’s "fear-based" authority with Machiavellian "virtue" to see how Gru maintains power.

Abstract

This research examines the movie Damsel (2024) through the lens of Jacques Derrida’s narrative deconstruction (2016). The issue shown in the movie is patriarchal expectations that portray women as a passive figure and as a sacrificial. The purpose of this study is to examine how Damsel challenges the traditional fairy tale trope by showing a female protagonist who reclaims her agency through survival and resistance. This study used a qualitative method while examining scenes and narratives. The result shows that: 1) Damsel deconstructs traditional fairy tale narratives by positioning the princess as her own savior; 2) The movie subverts patriarchal expectations by resisting the rigid tradition of female sacrifice; and 3) Elodie’s survival is portrayed as an act of resistance against societal control. The conclusion of the study highlights that Damsel offers a feminist reinterpretation of the traditional fairy tale trope. The significance of this research is the contribution to feminist movies, demonstrating how modern literature or movies can redefine women’s role in narratives. It is hoped that future researchers will further explore other fairy tales that challenge traditional gender roles similar to Damsel (2024).

Abstract

This research analyzes the film Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) to understand that gender is a repeated action rather than a fixed biological identity, using Judith Butler's theory of Gender Performativity (1990). By using a qualitative method to focus on the narratives and dialogues, this study examines through the body-swaps of character between the four main characters, also the challenges that the characters face on the new avatar’s body. The findings show: 1) Bethany's transformation serves as a deconstruction gender as a biological and fixed identity; 2) Martha's struggle with her role that demonstrates gender is a set of compulsory, subversive repetition; and 3) The character's adaptation reveals that identity is fluid and created by personal choice, not rigid social rules. This study concludes that the film serves as a powerful illustration for gender fluidity. This research is significant as it highlights that a fun, and popular movie may help people understand complex ideas about identity and gender while encouraging audiences to think critically about the stereotypes in everyday life. It is hoped that future researchers will apply similar critical lenses to other narratives to further explore how media influences the fluid construction of gender identity.
