Penerimaan Komunitas Montase terhadap Representasi Ras Asia di Amerika dalam Film Minari

Abstract

Films are able to provide entertainment as well as influence the attitudes and views of the audience. Audience has an important position in receiving messages. This study aims to explain the Montage community's reception of the representation of Asian race in America on the Minari film. The dynamics of adaptation, crisis, and family are closely related to the identity of Asian immigrants trying to reach their hopes in the destination country. The researcher applied Stuart Hall's reception analysis by conducting a thorough observation of Minari's film to determine the encoding and conducting interviews with three informants from the Montase community to conduct the decoding analysis. The results of this study describe two classifications of informant positions, namely dominant position and negotiated position. Differences in background, culture, and knowledge affect the informants' meaning of the representation of the Asian race in Minari.
