CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents background of the research, statement of the research
problems, objectives of the research, significances of the research, scope and
limitation of the research, and definition of key terms.
A. Background of the Research
Education is extremely important thing in our life and it becomes a
basic need of every human in the world. Having an education leads us to
better chance and it provides us with knowledge about the world. It paves the
way for a good career. It helps build character. It leads to enlightenment. It
lays the foundation of a stronger nation. Education makes a man complete.
According to Langgulung (19 73 :147), acquiring an education is not
only get in formal education which is full of set of laws and norms,
presenting a rather rigid curriculum as regard objectives, content and
methodology, but it can be done in everywhere like as in home, in a garden,
in a coffee shop, and soon, because in every places we can learn many things
then filter and duplicate them to our daily life.
Unfortunately, in globalization era, there are a lot of thing which will
influence people and brings them either to the something bad or good. One of
the biggest reason is technology. The development of technology more over
audiovisual technology and information media influence the life style and
changing the society. In the past decade, radio, television, DVD, and some
electronic tools were became a tertiary need, but the condition is quite
different now. Those electronics become basic need to almost human in the
world.
We should know that everything around us will build our character.
Yusuf et. al, (2011: 27-31) states that there are two factors that will influence
and build up character. The first is genetic factors and the second one is
environment factors. Environment factors are classified into several kinds
such as family‘s factor, school‘s factor, and culture‘s factor.
Kluckhohn in Yusuf (2011:30) states that cultural factors regulate our
life from birth to death, either consciously or unconsciously. Culture
influences us to follow a certain behavior patterns that have been made by
others. In the culture itself, there are a lot of things that sometime are not fit
to be applied to us. Technology, on the other hand, is a part of cultural
factors, because it is made and used by the humans.
Everyday, almost of people in the world use technology, especially
audiovisual technology and information media. It is really close to our life.
While the essensial of the education is build up the good value of the human,
so that technology holds the important role to influence the human‘s life. All
kinds of technology and everything around us such as television, internet,
game, movie, the group of people, books, and soon have the values that can
change the human‘s character. Values themselves are the guiding principles
of life that contribute to the all round development of an individual. They
give a direction to life and thus bring joy, satisfaction and peace. Values add
the part of technology, movie also is a kind of literature. That‘s why, here, we
can use the way in literature to analyze the movie then get many values there.
One of them is through psychology of literature. It is an interdisciplinary
between psychology and literature which focus on the study of human from
the inside (Minderop, 2011: 59). The appeal from the psychology of literature
is it paints a portrait of a soul and the soul will represent the reader or the
viewer soul. Soul here means the soul from every character in the movie in
which their dialogues or their attitude contains of value.
One of the reasons why movie is choosen as the topic to be analysed
in this study, because most of people like watching movies, not only those
who live in big cities, but also those who live in small town. Nowadays,
people can watch movies shown anytime and anywhere, both in the movie
theaters and also shown in the TV programs. Not only by these two media,
but lately movies are also produced in compact disc (CD) and digital video
disc (DVD) that facilitate those viewers to be easier to enjoy their hobby.
Watching movies can be said as one of the most enjoyable activity in human
daily life. Moreover, movie is one of media that can be used by its producers
to convey their visions and missions to public. By producing movies, they
want to inform, educate, or just simply want to entertain people, and even just
for arousing business interest after all.
From the explanation above, the writer believes that movie is
considered as an important art form, a source of popular entertainment, and a
powerful medium for educating and indoctrinating citizens. Movie is one of
media with a huge of capability in helping educating people.
Movies produce an emotional response to audiences. They can be
amused, frightened, and excited, but they also can experience tension,
patriotism, sorrow, pity, and so on. By watching movies, the audience can get
more imagination in their mind and get many values by catching the
messages conveyed in the story. There are many kinds of movie, such as
action, comedies, horror, trailler, drama, and so on. For the topic of the
research, the writer prefers to choose drama family movies with fresh and
logical stories, but it still can convey rich values of live that can help the
audience improve their own personality.
Movies with motivational themes are the best of all to be seen and be
investigated by the writer. One of the inspiring movies is ―Front of the Class‖
movie produced in 2008 which was belonged to drama movie and adapted
from the book of real life story by Brad Cohen, Front of the Class: How
Tourette Syndrome Made Me the Teacher I Never Had , co-authored by Lisa
Wysocky. Since the movie taken from real life story, so that it is seen more
touchable instead of imaginative movie. In other hand, the movie is rich of
values that can encourage the audiences not to give up in facing any situation
in their life. No wonder, in some websites this movie is also received many
good responds and good references from the audiences as one of the best
inspiring movies that also got a prestigious Voice Award given by the
Department of Health & Human Services.
