REPRESENTASI KEMANDIRIAN TOKOH ROCCA DALAM FILM JERMAN ROCCA VERÄNDERT DIE WELT

Abstract

Adolescents are prone to failing to overcome difficulties in adjusting to their social environment. Therefore, in-depth information is needed to understand the meaning of independence. This research examines the meaning of independence represented by the character Rocca through dialog and scenes in the film Rocca verändert die Welt. The representation of independence in the film is analyzed using Roland Barthes' semiotic signification approach and Laurence Steinberg's concept of independence. The expected benefit of this research is to provide a new view of independence. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. The results of this study show that independence in Germany is influenced by local wisdom values in Germany such as the values of independence, responsibility, and humanity that underlie the way people think and act. The independence represented in Rocca's character in the movie Rocca verändert die Welt, includes independence in learning, being responsible for oneself and the surrounding environment, having self-confidence, having a sense of caring for others, and not easily depending on those closest to them.
