Abstract

Film is a unique form of art because it can reflect human life through its character, story, and conflicts. Every human being has their own psychological condition that affects their personality. The psychological condition of a human being is very complex and shaped by the many life experiences they have been through. Storytelling in film can be enriched by characters with their own complex personality. Therefore, this study was made to analyze how to represent complex psychological conditions of main characters in the film scene. The film that will be analyzed is “Everything Everywhere All at Once” by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, released in 2022. This film tells about family conflict where each main character has their own psychological condition and inner battle. The method used in this study is a qualitative method, including an analysis of main character’s psychological condition through “Everything Everywhere All at Once” film scenes. The result of this study will show each main character’s psychological condition that most affects their personality and how its portrayed in the film. The urgency of this study is to remind the importance of each film character having a specific psychological condition or personality to enriched storytelling in the film.
