Judul HALLUCINATION AS A FACTOR OF THE MAIN CHARACTER SUCCESS IN ACHIEVING HIS DREAM IN RON HOWARDS MOVIE A BEAUTIFUL MIND

Abstrak In this recent global era, a film seems to be more interesting to enjoy compared with articles or conventional text books. As a literary work, a film can be used as source for studying literature. Besides, people can find some moral values that can be learned in their life through watching film. For example, they can gain some social phenomena and psychological aspects from the character in a film itself. The object of this study is the film entitled A Beautiful Mind directed by Ron Howard. The reasons for choosing the topic are (1) this movie is a biographical film that comes from the reality of John Nash, a Nobel Laureate who is suffering from mental illness, schizophrenia and lives under his hallucinations (2) this movie inspires everyone because someone with mental illness can change his life and finally achieve a Nobel. The statements of the problem are (1) what does Nash’s hallucination mean in terms of his search for mathematical formula, (2) to what extent does Nash make use of his hallucination for achieving the Nobel. I used a descriptive qualitative research as a method of this final project since the data were in the form of words, phrases, written dialogues implied in the script and they were descriptively analyzed. I gained the data by watching and reading the script intensively also I compiled some references from several books and dictionary which relate to the subject matter and seek information from the internet to support the study. The result of the study was (1) Nash’s hallucination has an important meaning in terms of his search for the original idea; especially Charles’ figure (2) Nash hallucination has the positive impact influencing his study until he received the Nobel. I conclude that the influence of Nash’s hallucination of this movie towards the readers is positive because the movie told us many things about how to keep trying and not to give up to face the truth although it is difficult. It moreover, can give us a lesson that sometimes our weakness can be the factor influencing our success. By studying and analyzing A Beautiful Mind, hopefully my final project can be used as reference for those who are interested in analyzing a film using psychoanalytical approach especially abnormal psychology.
