Abstract

People sometimes break humanism when they do their duty. It creates inner conflict within them. This final project focused on the duty and humanism in “Rambo 4” film. This study emphasized on three main objectives. First: the definition of duty and humanism, second: the inner conflict between duty and humanism in “Rambo 4” film, and third: the influences of inner conflict toward duty and humanism in “Rambo 4” film. The writer used psychological approach in conducting the study. First, he collected the required data by watching the film frequently and reading the film script carefully to find the related data about duty and humanism. Second, the unwritten data will be analyzed by seeing gesture or body language of the characters. In this process, he used descriptive qualitative method. The first problem (what are duty and humanism?) will be answered using duty and humanism theory. The second problem (what are inner conflicts between duty and humanism in “Rambo 4” film?) will be answered using psychology, inner conflict, and duty and humanism theory. The third problem (how inner conflict influences duty and humanism in the “Rambo 4” film?) will be answered using inner conflict, duty and humanism theory. From the analysis, it could be concluded that duty is an action that must be done, while Humanism is described as a good attitude, helpful, and respect to each other. Inner conflict is contradiction between someone’s Id, Ego, and Super-ego. It happened when someone did something but it contradicted with his desire or feeling. The inner conflict within soldiers can influence their sense of humanism in war become better or worse depended on certain situation. Finally, this study was used to give additional knowledge to the readers about duty and humanism that may be useful as an additional reference when they would like to analyze the same film. They should also analyze about the relationship between duty and behavior of the characters.
