Abstract :
This study examines the theme of the movie script through intrinsic and extrinsic approach. Through
the intrinsic approaches, I analyze the concept of characterization, setting, and plot. Through the
extrinsic approaches, it is a psychological approach such as the concept of depression and the death
instinct as the main problems of human psychology in this study. The qualitative research method is
used in this study. The purposive sampling and documentation data collection methods were used in
this study. The data is in the form of literary texts from A Star is Born movie script by Bradley Cooper
as the primary source and supported by several literary concepts to connect theories, concepts, and
relevant definitions as secondary sources. The result of this research is as follows. Depression is one of
the leading causes of the death instinct and leads to suicide in many people. It is found in this research
that getting rid of depression in a person takes a very long time and a tough effort. The script of this
movie represents the connection between depression and the death instinct. This movie script also
represents a struggle of a person who is very difficult to be free from depression and avoid selfdestructive
behavior. The conclusion of this study is how we should handle problems in our lives so
that they do not turn into severe depression and end up becoming the desire to die or death instinct as a
result of our negligence in dealing with depression.
