Summer Lives by Togetherness

which reflects her as postmodern person. She has a complex relationship, she is kind of free woman, who does not want to be attach with man and avoids serious relationship. She re-evaluates western value systems. She is emotionless woman because she has no direction and ambition. Summer also described as a person who lives with her own beliefs that she said love is only fantasy. Her being pessimistic indicates that she‟s a representation of postmodern person. It reflects from Summer‟s thought, idea, and attitude. The film is focused on Summer representation of postmodern person, possibly in deconstruction analysis, Summer is not real pessimistic. The deconstruction of Summer‟s character is obvious. At the end of the story Summer is totally changed. Summer be the real new of her who leads herself into regulation named marriage, and she‟s truly romantic. After deconstructed, Summer as representation of postmodern person is doubted and quest ioned. It‟s proven by Summer having a good relationship to other people, she also kind of restricted woman. Then Summer follows the western value systems. And she is sensitive woman. At the end she decides to marry other man and live by togetherness. The result of deconstruction shows Summer‟s appearances reflect modernity with her all blue vintage style. Moreover, Summer‟s apartment also does not reflects her as postmodernist, because Summer‟s apartment is very structured and very functional, there is no sense of “anything goes” that reflect her as representation of postmodern person. Everything is very neat and organized. In addition, Summer‟s last decision to get married with other man is her way to find some security, especially emotional security for her insecurity. When she acts herself to be free is only part of her way to get some safety, but is not give her any security. When she does not get the security with being free, she decides to leads herself back to the conventional way named marriage. So, from the explanation above and from the research in previous chapter, there are some things which disturb Summer as postmodernist. And the result of deconstruction shows Summer reflects modernity. The writer suggests that for understanding deconstruction, someone must analyze many sights, for example the first man character Tom Hansen. The writer suggest for the next researcher to give more attention to Tom‟s character, because Tom is suspected as postmodern person, because Tom is kind of passive and pessimistic man, and he questions Summer‟s decision to get married at the end.
