Abstract :
Part of the semiotics that students learn is signs. Signs are something that
for someone means something else, or something that represents something
other than something itself, such as metaphors. This study aims to find out how
the mass media creates or recycles signs for the purpose of recognizing the signs
in the film A Beautiful Mind. This study intends to analyze the signs used by the
main players in the film A Beautiful Mind. This term paper analyzed the
behavior of the main actors who suffered schizophrenia. I also took several
references such as journals, websites, books to support the main data. The
method in collecting data, I use documentation because the data is collected
from the film. The data are arranged based on several types of signs in semiotics,
namely icons, indexes and symbols. Then the signs of each type were analyzed
using Charles S Pierce's theory.
