Abstract

The objectives of this research are to identify the reason why Mary shifts her awareness toward homosexuality, to analyze the process how Mary shifts her awareness, and to explain how the shift of Mary’s awareness is portrayed in the movie analysis. The theory of post-structuralism, homosexuality, and film analysis are used by the researcher to answer these research questions. This research is a descriptive qualitative applying content analysis method. The subject of this research is a film entitled Prayers for Bobby directed by Russell Mulcahy. The data were in the forms of dialogues and pictures related to the shift of Mary’s awareness. The data were analyzed by watching the film and classifying the data from the film. The researcher also applied triangulation method to get the trustworthiness of the data. It was done by consulting with friends and consultants. The result of this research shows that: (1) the reason why Mary shifts her awareness is because Mary experiences new understandings about homosexuality from the reverend and P-FLAG, (2) fanatical phase, the phase of gaining new understandings, and the phase of high tolerance are the process of the shift of Mary’s awareness toward homosexuality. In these phases, the change of Mary’s interpretation toward homosexuality is shown by the last phase, (3) mise-en-scene, cinematography, and narrative structure are the elements of film analysis which sharpen the shift of Mary’s awareness toward homosexuality.
