Abstract

The patriarchal issue is a cultural issue which becomes an interesting topic in films. It can be used as an educational medium to anticipate social conflicts related to women's empowerment in fulfilling gender equality. Through the message in films, one can learn how to deal with this issue within the community. This paper aims to describe the representation of patriarchal culture through film messages through visual and verbal elements in films. The method used is descriptive qualitative with the elaboration of semiotic theory by Pierce, with three studies focusing on the visual elements of icons, indexes, and symbols that appear in the film. The result shows that meaningful analysis of the representation of patriarchal culture in films based on Pierce's theory provides a broad audience perspective. In conclusion, the analysis helps people understand a film's message through icons, indexes, and symbols. In addition, proper interpretation of patriarchal cultural representation found in films will influence people in how they deal with social problems around them, especially those related to the fulfillment of equal rights and obligations between women and men in general.
