Abstract :
Film mess in fact is not something that merely seen as a work of art, for it is intricate social issues which happened to be the critique or a representation of several social issues. ?The Green Book Movie?, set against the backdrop of the Jim Crow era, offers a rich narrative that reflects and challenges the racial dynamics of its time. By applying Barthes' concepts of denotation, connotation, and myth, this study aims to uncover the deeper cultural and ideological meanings embedded within the film's dialogues and visual elements, The verbal analysis focuses on the dialogues between the main characters and the character surrounding him, it is revealing how language perpetuates and subverts societal stereotypes and power relations. The non-verbal analysis examines body language, facial and expressions, highlighting how these visual elements contribute to the film's semiotic landscape and thematic depth. By deconstructing the film's semiotic codes, this thesis aims to elucidate the ways in which "The Green Book" navigates the cultural myths surrounding race and identity and highlights the personal and professional struggles of Don Shirley in confronting and challenging systemic racism in his way of pursuing his goals. It offers insights into the film's portrayal of racial tensions and its potential impact on contemporary cultural discourse.
