ABSTRACT

Nanda Tinahadi, NIM: 109026000111, The Representation of Ninja in Ninja Assassin Film. Thesis: English Literature Department, Adab and Humanities Faculty, State Islamic University Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, 2014.

This research analyzes the Ninja in Ninja Assassin film in 2009. This research is aimed to know representation the Ninja in this film according to history of Ninja and also the concept of Ninja. I use qualitative method and descriptive analysis technique to analyze the film. I also use the representation theory of Stuart Hall to explain the Ninja in Ninja Assassin film.

Based on the research, I find that the representation of Ninja is showed through five kinds, namely: representation of Ninja through the character, through the appearances, through the equipment, through the house, and through the training and activities. Those kinds that I analyze above, each of them not only have the same part with the Ninja in reality, but also have the differences part too, ,even they are almost same and also almost difference. So that. because of the differences, there are some new representation about the Ninja. Moreover, the Ninja in the film and in the reality are not all the same, so that it concludes that this analysis is connecting with the representation theory.
