The aims of the study are to prove that the problem sexual disorientation really occurs in the film, to identify the type of sexual disorientation in the film, and to find out the effects of sexual disorientation toward the main character of the film. This research is descriptive and qualitative. The sources of the data in this study are the script and the video. The data taken from the script are in the forms of words, phrases, sentences, dialogues, explicit meanings, and hidden meanings. While the data taken from the video are in the forms of mimics, gestures, and pictures. The data were collected by means of preparing a table, identifying, inventorizing the data from both script and video, classifying, reducing, selecting, and reporting them into appendices. In analyzing question number one, the writer exposed the data in Appendix E. After that, tabling, explaining, giving examples, and drawing conclusion were applied to answer the question. For question number two and three, he exposed the data in Appendix E, explained, and compared the data with the supporting theories presented in Chapter Two, that is Review of the Related Literature, especially in the subject of sexual disorientation.

From the data analysis, the writer concludes that 1) the problem of sexual disorientation really exists and becomes the main theme of the study. 2) the type of sexual disorientation of the main character in this film is bisexual orientation. This kind of sexual disorientation refers to sexual behavior or attraction to people of both sexes. In this case, the main character loved both his wife and his gay lover. 3) sexual disorientation has some effects toward the main character in this film such as feeling guilty, fearing homophobia, and having an excessive feeling of possession toward their couples. All of these effects can be seen in the dialogues and gestures of the main character in this film. From the conclusion, it is suggested that we have to care and respect others especially those who suffer from sexual disorientation since they are also human beings like us who also need love, joy, and respect from others.
