Abstract :
The concept of "home" extends beyond physical movement, encompassing an emotional and
temporal journey that deeply influences personal identity. This study explores the theme of "Going
Home" in the film Jalan yang Jauh, Jangan Lupa Pulang, directed by Angga Dwi Sasongko. The
film portrays the struggles of a student studying abroad in London, highlighting issues of
communication and misunderstandings between Aurora and her family in Indonesia. By analyzing
the semiotic elements in the film, this research examines how signs, symbols, and cultural contexts
shape audience interpretation, emotions, and responses to the concept of "Going Home." Utilizing
John Fiske?s semiotic analysis theory, the study applies a descriptive qualitative methodology,
focusing on the reality level, representation level, and ideology level of the film?s narrative. The
research aims to uncover diverse interpretations of these semiotic elements and their impact on
viewers.
