Abstract

Film is a medium that is often used to represent social reality. The reality of marriages and household disputes
is often shown in scenes with the aim of conveying a certain message, as was done in the film "Perfect
Strangers". This research examines the representation of domestic quarrels shown in the film "Perfect
Strangers" using Charles S. Peirce's semiotics and documentation as a data collection technique, by taking
excerpts from the film to be used as objects of analysis. The research results show that the film "Perfect
Strangers" represents household quarrels in three ways, namely 1) the causes of quarrels, in the form of
betrayal/infidelity and miscommunication, 2) forms of quarrels, in the form of teasing, shouting, unbearable
emotions and divorce, 3) solutions to quarrels, in the form of respecting your partner's privacy. Further
research can examine the issue of domestic disputes using other methods
