Abstract

This study is an analysis and interpretation of the sign of dehumanization in modern era in Nick Cassavete’s movie entitled My Sister’s Keeper. The movie depicted dehumanization in modern era that appear in modern era caused by the usage of modern technology through the point of view of sociology. Dehumanization phenomenon gives enormous influences in human life and relation. This study carries out two problems; they are (1) what are the kinds of dehumanization depicted in this movie? (2) What are the impacts of dehumanization depicted in this movie? I used Nick Cassavete’s movie entitled My Sister’s Keeper as the primary data and some references from books and websites dealing with sociology concept as the secondary data. The data were gained by watching closely the movie, then identifying data from the movie, inventorying the data, classifying the data, selecting the data, building up the main topic of the narration, and reporting the data. The analysis of this study used sociology approach in order to find, identify, and analyze the data from the movie. In addition, I used qualitative research to explain the data in the form of description. From the data analysis I concluded that (1) there are two kinds of dehumanization which is depicted in this movie; they are denial of right to control body and life and denial of right to express feeling (2) there are two impacts of dehumanization in this movie; they are objectifying human and subjectifying capitalism. In general, this study is expected to be useful for the readers who would analyze a literary work. I expected that this analysis could give new horizon to the readers about how to analyze a literary work according to the people’s attitudes and condition which are sometimes raised by an author.
