Film is a form of art and media that enjoys a high level of popularity and serves as a means of entertainment, education, and information. Through films, audiences not only seek enjoyment but also gain new insights and knowledge. Although many people watch films primarily for leisure, each storyline often contains profound meanings and moral messages that can be taken as life lessons. One such film that conveys these values is Pertaruhan, which is the subject of this research. The purpose of this study is to explore the representation of moral messages in the film Pertaruhan using Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic theory, which includes three main components: sign, object, and interpretant. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation and documentation of the film. The results of the study indicate that there are eight scenes that explicitly represent moral messages, ultimately providing a deeper understanding of the life values conveyed through the film.

Amanda Oktaviani — 2025-07-14

In this era, beauty has become a major issue, especially among women who are often required to meet certain standards. This phenomenon, which is often depicted in Korean dramas, can lead to discrimination against women who do not conform to the ideal image. This study aims to analyze the representation of discrimination based on beauty standards in the Korean drama True Beauty, which explicitly shows different treatment based on physical appearance. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data was collected through observation and documentation of seven scenes depicting discriminatory behavior. The analysis was conducted using John Fiske’s semiotic approach, which examines meaning at the levels of reality, representation, and ideology. The results of the study show that discrimination is represented through eight aspects of social rejection at the level of reality. At the representation level, production techniques amplify the emotional impact. At the ideology level, the drama reflects the perspective of lookism, where beauty determines an individual’s social value. This research is supported by Jon Gunnar Bernburg’s Labeling Theory, which explains how individuals labeled with social labels experience discrimination.

The study used a qualitative approach with a content analysis method on a number of posts over a certain period. The results show that Tasya Farasya's content is not only product promotion but also includes elements of public education in the form of explanations of ingredients, functions, how to use, and ethical considerations in choosing products.

This study concludes that the role of influencers can go beyond commercial functions to become an educational tool, particularly in the field of beauty literacy.
