CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the study

Film production requires some division of labour, but how that division carried out, and how power allocated to various roles, differs from project to project. The process of film production thus reflects different conceptions of what a film is, and the finished film inevitably bears traces of the mode of production within which it created.1

Film encompasses individual motion pictures, the field of film as an art form, and the motion picture industry. Films are produced by recording images from the world with cameras, or by creating images using animation techniques or special effects. Films are cultural artefacts created by specific cultures, which reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them. Film considered an important art form, a source of popular entertainment and a powerful method for educating or indoctrinating citizens. The visual elements of cinema give motion pictures a universal power of communication. Some films have become popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles that translate the dialogue.2

(12)

The visual element is the film’s basic means of communication; it is the most important factor in distinguishing between the fictional film and the so-called literary forms of fiction and drama. The very term literature refers to the written word and the defined as including all writings in verse or prose, especially those of an imaginative or critical nature. Even in colloquial use, literature means printed matter of any kind. Its emphasis is on the moving image, which is generally, what communicates a film’s most significant or interesting aspect.3

Enchanted movie is unification between fairy tale world and real world presented in one format. Fairy tale world deputized with the character of animation or cartoon and still believe in the existence of love at the first sight and true love kiss. Real world present the real action, there are a lot of high-rise buildings, existence of a conflict in experiencing life, etc. Moreover, here becoming specification in the film, caused by federating between fairy tale world and this real world.

The writer wants to analyze this film because Enchanted is the Disney live-action/traditional animation, though the traditionally animated characters do not interact in the live-action environment in the same manner. However, there are some scenes where live-action characters share the screen with two-dimensional animated characters, the character of Giselle in fairy tale and real world represent in one format. Audience will be surprised and thinks this is a cartoon movie, because the beginning in the movie all of place describe a cartoon but after Giselle sent in New

York by an evil queen Narissa all of place is different. In New York, character Giselle changes became a real human.

Enchanted film is not new story, but the director of Kevin Lima is able manifestly idea from the writer of film Bill Kelly. The character between fairy tale world and real world are even also create, film also become very attractive and amazing because the character draw the animation and real human and the characterization actor so perfect. The film also adopts a story of Snow White and Cinderella. It can be see from the costume, which all players used. However, even it is adopted the story of Snow White and Cinderella, this film story have a lot of experiencing of changing there. Enchanted film is fresh idea and inspiration which actual by Kevin Lima in this Enchanted film. Modern and Classic impression at each character which is emerge, and strengthen their character in this film.

CHAPTER II

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

A. Structuralism Approach

Structuralism approaches to literature challenge some of the most beliefs of the ordinary reader. The literary work, we have long felt, is the child of an author’s creative life, and expresses the author’s essential self. The text is the place where we enter into a spiritual or humanistic communion with an author’s thoughts and feeling.4

In literary theory, structuralism is an approach to analyzing the narrative

material by examining the underlying invariant structure, which based on the linguistic sign system of Ferdinand de Saussure. The structuralism claims that there must be a structure in every text, which explains why it is easier for experienced readers than for non-experienced readers to interpret a text. Hence, they say that everything that written seems to govern by specific rules, a "grammar of literature", that one learns in educational institutions and that are to be unmasked.5

Structuralism literary criticism argues that the "novelty value of a literary text" can lie only in new structure, rather than in the specifics of character development and voice in which that structure expressed. One branch of literary

(17)

structuralism, like Freudianism, Marxism, and transformational grammar, posits both a deep and a surface structure. In Freudianism and Marxism, the deep structure is a story, in Freud's case the battle, ultimately, between the life and death instincts, and in Marx, the conflicts between classes that are rooted in the economic "base."

According to Alison Assiter, there are four common ideas regarding structuralism that form an 'intellectual trend'. Firstly, the structure is what determines the position of each element of a whole. Secondly, structuralism believes that every system has a structure. Thirdly, structuralisms are interested in 'structural' laws that deal with coexistence rather than changes. Finally, structures are the 'real things' that lie beneath the surface or the appearance of meaning.6

Dalam penelitian strukturalis memandang karya sastra sebagai teks mandiri. Penelitian dilakukan secara obyektif yaitu menekankan aspek intrinsik karya sastra. Unsur-unsur itu tidak jauh berbeda dengan sebuah artefak atau benda seni yang bermakna. Artefak tersebut terdiri dari unsur dalam teks seperti ide, tema, plot, character, dsb. 7

Strukturalis secara langsung atau tidak langsung sebenarnya banyak dipengaruhi oleh konsep struktur linguistic yang dikembangkan oleh Ferdinand de Saussure yang intinya berkaitan dengan konsep sign dan meaning (bentuk dan isi) atau seperti yang dikemukakan oleh Luxemburg sebagai significant-signifie dan Paradigma – syntagma. Pengertiannya adalah tanda atau bentuk bahasa merupakan unsur pemberi arti dan yang diartikan. Seperti yang diungkapkan oleh Ferdinand de Saussure bahwa makna bukanlah yang tersembunyi secara rahasia dalam suatu tanda bahasa (kata), melainkan bagaimana fungsi tanda tersebut sebagai hasil dari pembedaan tanda-tanda yang lain. Dalam kaitan ini, karya sastra harus

dipandang sebagai sebuah struktur yang berfungsi. Sebagai sebuah karya yang bersifat imajinatif bisa saja hubungan antara penanda dan petanda merupakan suatu hubungan yang kompleks. Dalam karya yang lebih luas seperti drama, film, novel, struktur tidak hanya hadir melalui kata dan bahasa, melainkan dapat dikaji berdasarkan unsur-unsur pembentuknya seperti tema, plot, karakter, setting dan point of view. 8

Structuralism has assumption that literary work is a construction that based on signs. Structuralism considered that interrelated in this structure can give great meaning. Moreover, the object of structuralism is the inner structure of literary work.

B. Character

A character is any person, persona, identity, or entity that exists in a work of art. Along with plot, setting, theme, and style, character is considered one of the fundamental components of fiction. Characters may be fictional or based upon real entities, contemporary or historical. They may be human, supernatural, mythical,

divine, animal, or personifications of an abstraction. 9

Typically, character actors lack some of the stereotypical physical attributes associated with stars. A character actor may be very short or very tall, heavy or thin, balding, or simply unconventional-looking. Many older actors find their access to lead roles limited by age as well. Similarly, actors of color often barred from roles for which they were otherwise suited; some found work performing ethnic stereotypes. A character actor is usually playing a character that does not go through a major change

(19)

in the course of the movie. They tend to help the leading character aspire the major change that always occurs to him/her. 10

Creating a character means, more than anything else, clearly following a basic direction or establishing a through line. This process entails a careful playing of the action in each beat for the purpose of realizing the intention and clearly relating each beat to the one that follow it. Making one beat grow logically and inevitably out of another is necessary to an expression of the playwright’s meaning as regards both plot and character. 11

To say that someone is a character suggests that he or she has a strange or eccentric personality, to say that a person has character implies his or her moral uprightness, to say something about a person’s character involves a discussion of his or her personal values and behaviour. As a literary term, however, a character is a person created for a work of fiction. 12

A well-developed character is one that has been thoroughly character, with many traits shown in the narrative. The better the audience knows the character, the better the character development. Thorough characterization makes characters well

rounded and complex. This allows for a sense of realism. Character development is

very important in character-driven literature, where stories focus not on events, but

on individual personalities. Historically, stories and plays focusing on characters became common as part of the 19th century Romantic Movement, and character-driven literature rapidly supplanted more plot-driven literature that typically utilizes easily identifiable archetypes rather than proper character development. 13

Dengan bahasa yang berbeda, David Daiches menyebutkan bahwa karakter pelaku cerita fiksi dapat muncul dari sejumlah peristiwa dan bagaimana reaksi tokoh tersebut pada peristiwa yang dihadapi (Daiches, 1948: 352). Peristiwa yang terangkai dalam cerita pada hakikatnya adalah rangkaian plot. Dengan demikian, membicarakan karakter pelaku tidak mungkin dapat dilepaskan dari plot cerita, karena sebagaimana diungkapkan Frye, yang utama dalam penghadiran karakter pelaku (tokoh cerita) merupakan fungsi-fungsi plot (Frye, 1973: 52) 14

A character on the stage who can present no convincing argument or information as to his past experience, his present behaviour or his aspirations, nor give a comprehensive analysis of his motives is as legitimate and as worthy of attention as one who, alarmingly, can do all these things. The more acute the experience the less articulate its expression.15 Character is the method used by a writer to develop a character. The method includes (1) showing the character's appearance, (2) displaying the character's actions, (3) revealing the character's thoughts, (4) letting the character speak, and (5) getting the reactions of others. 16

In analyzing a role to discover the motivating desires of a character as the dramatist has conceived him. The actor gives attention to what the character does,

(21)

what the character say, what the other characters in the play say about him, what actions are suggest ed in the character’s line, what comments and descriptions the playwright offers in the stage directions. 17

C. Characterization

Characterization is the means by which writers present and reveal character.18 Character creation is the art of characterization what the author does to bring a character to life, to provide the reader with a sense of that character’s personality, to make that character unique. Authors can characterize or develop a character directly or indirectly. Characterization, then, begins with discovering the character’s motivating desire and process with breaking the role into small units each with a clearly understood intention, which will help in accomplishing the large purpose. It is a constant challenge throughout rehearsals and performance. 19

Characterization is a way to identify a character. The characterization of character is the identification of a character, which is describe physically or seen from attitudes and how he or she behaves. It is also the main point to really know how a character is. Characterization is also a method, which is use by the author to illustrate character. The director of characterization is the narrator who describes character in

17

Charles McGaw (1966), op. cit p. 91 18

Robert DiYanni (2002), op. cit p.55 19


(22)

the story. Characterization is the method an author uses to reveal or describe character and their various personalities. 20

Major character is a character that holds on an important role. This character is very dominant and always appears in each conflict. On the other hand, there is another character appears only few times or she or he might be in a short portion and this character is know as minor character. 21

Another common term in film is protagonist. Protagonist character deals with truth and conflicts with other characters. While antagonist character forces and often gives any trouble or conflict to the protagonist one. 22 Characterization means how the writer tells the reader about the physical and non-physical characteristic of the person told in the story.

Characterization is defined as in fiction, by what the character do, by what they say, by what others say about them and setting in which they move. The characters also defined in part by other characters that they in some degree resemble or from whom they in some degree differ. 23

Ibid. p. 367 23


(23)

1. Direct and Indirect characterization

In direct characterization, the narrator or a character summarizes or tells the reader what another character looks like or what kind of person he or she is. The author literally tells the audience what a character is like. This is may be done via the narrator, another character or by the character him- or herself. In indirect characterization, narrators and characters describe a character’s appearance or dress. In this way, they suggest something about the character’s personality. A character is repeated gesture or a facial tic, for example, may imply a character’s arrogance or nervousness. The audience must deduce for themselves what the character is like through the character’s thoughts, actions, speech (choice of words, way of talking), looks and interaction with other characters, including other characters’ reactions to that particular person. 24

2. Static and Dynamic

Static character is character that unchanged; their character is the same at the end of the story as at the beginning. Dynamic character is one who change because of what happens in the plot.

24


(24)

3. Flat and Round

Flat character distinguished by its lack of a realistic personality. Though the description of a flat character may be detailed and rich in defining characteristics, it falls short of the complexity associated with a round character.

A round character is a three-dimensional character complex enough to be able to surprise the reader without losing credibility. 25

D. Plot

A plot is a series of actions, often presented in chronological order, but the ingredient a plot has that a story lacks is causality. In narrative with a plot, a little happens without cause. 26 Causality is an important feature of realistic fictional plots; it simply means that one thing happens as a result of something else. 27 Typical fictional plots begin with an exposition that provides background information we need to make sense of the action, that describes the setting, and that introduces the major characters these plots develop a series of complications or intensifications of the conflict that lead to a crisis or moment of great tension. The conflict may reach a climax or turning point, a moment of greatest tension that fixes the outcome; then, the

25

Ibid. p. 95 26

Ibid. p. 1 27


(25)

action falls off as the plot’s complication are sorted out and resolved (the resolution or denouement). 28

Plot denotes the way in which events arranged in a work of literature. Like a short story, a play typically begins with exposition, which presents characters and setting and introduces the basic situation in which characters are involved. Then, during the rising action, the action builds in intensity: complications develop, conflicts emerge, suspense builds, and crises occur. The rising action culminates in a climax, at which point the plot’s tension peaks. Finally, during the falling action the intensity subsides, eventually winding down to a resolution or denouement, in which all loose end and tied up.29

E. Setting

The time and place of literary work setting includes social, political and economic background as well as geographic and physical locations.30 The setting is the time and place in which the film’s story takes place. Although the setting may often seem unobtrusive or be taken for granted, it is an essential ingredient in any story and makes an important contribution to the theme or total effect of a film. Because of its complex interrelationships with other story element, plot, character, theme, conflict, symbolism- setting should be analyze carefully in terms of its effect

28

Ibid p. 45 30

(26)

on the story being told. And because of its important visual function, it must be considered a powerful cinematic element in its own right. 31

In examining the setting as it relates to the story, it is necessary to consider the effect of four factors on the story as a whole:

a. Temporal factors: the time in which the story takes place

b. Geographical factors: the physical location and its characteristics including the type of terrain, climate, population density (its visual and psychological impact) and any other physical factor of the locale that may have an effect on the story’s characters and their actions.

c. Social structures and economic factors

d. Customs, moral attitudes and codes of behavior 32

Each factor has an important effect on the problem, conflicts and character of human beings and must considered as an integral part of any story’s plot or theme.

(Enchanted movie, 0:05:18) The dialog above shows that, Edward who seeks a sweet voice a princess but Nathaniel try to prevent Edward to find Giselle. In Andalasia Princes also likes to sing, especially when they are looking for someone to complete a duet. Therefore, Edward races off into the forest, following the beautiful voice. He is off in the woods of Andalasia looking for Giselle to complete his duet, and he hears Giselle sings in the distance.

Unfortunately, Troll (the name of animal in fairy tale) gets there first and Edward has to battle the Troll to get his Princess, but of course, Edward is the winner. At the same time, Prince Edward with servant Nathaniel hears Giselle song, Princes Edward meet with Giselle and he said, “We shall be married in

(33)

who locks her animal friends out of the wedding meets her. She stopped by an old woman, the queen in disguise, who tricks into going to a wishing well and pushes her into a place where there is no happily ever after in New York City.

c. Innocence

In a movie character, Giselle is innocence person because she easy to believe someone until she does not know that Narissa the evil queen in the movie will do wicked with her. She never think a negative with other, she believe that Narissa is nice person.

Picture 3

“Giselle meet at the first time with Narissa”

Queen Narissa: oh, what a lovely bride. Granny has a wedding gift for you. Giselle: Thank you, but I really should be going. You see, I’m going

Narissa: Tis a wish well, dear.

Giselle: oh, but all my wishes are about to come true

Narissa: that’s the most magical of all Just close your eyes my darling and make your wish. Are you wishing for something?

Giselle: yes, I am. And they both lived happily ever after

(Enchanted movie, 0:9:16)


(34)

The dialog and picture above shows that, Giselle is an innocence

person. When Narissa invite her to make a wish before she marry Edward, Giselle follows Narissa’s command although Giselle knows that she never meets Narissa before. Narissa succeeded sent Giselle in New York, according to Narissa to place where there are no happily ever afters (Enchanted movie, 0:10:43). Giselle separate again with Edward but Giselle still optimistic that she will meet again with Edward. Although the evil queen sent her in New York but Giselle never gives up finding her happiness and her prince.

In the form of evil Queen Narissa, who does not want Edward to marry because by the rules of the kingdom, she will lose her crown. Narissa transforms herself into an ancient beggar woman who tricks Giselle into leaning over a wishing well. Then shoves the bride to be into the well and through the centre of a magical well where a wind cloud of fairy dust turns Giselle into a real live woman and drops her under a manhole cover in the centre of Manhattan.

d. Romantic

In other scene, character’s Giselle shows that she is a romantic person when she dreams about her princes, she sing and said, “so to spend a life of endless bliss, just find who you love through true love’s kissed” (Enchanted Movie, 0:03:34) . She makes a flower and gives her flower to a statue the


(35)

dream of princes. She is dancing and sing full of love and hopes about true love kiss.

Giselle is a Princess; she is the major character of the animation, which show transformation became a real human throughout her journey. In the beginning of the story, Giselle pick flowers, find jewels, and create a statue of her prince. She sings and sweep up leaves and dusts cobwebs. Even she harvests and collects honey, wax and bee.

2. The characteristic of Giselle’s character in real world a. Optimistic

Although the evil queen Narissa send Giselle in real world and she looks like a real human not a cartoon character, she still optimist to find a prince Edward. She entered a hole of dimension between animation and real world throughout a well. Her life in these first levels is careless, innocent and cheerful.

Giselle appeared from a manhole in the middle of Times Square city, where the film takes place. The high building, a vehicle and the crowd of people surprised her. She is difficult to controlling herself, until she make a crowded the city in New York.

In real world, character Giselle still optimist to finds her true love in fairy tale “Edward”. When she arrives in New York, it is different place with


(36)

fairy tale. She wants to meet with Edward the prince of Giselle in fairy tale. Giselle tries to find the nearest castle in order to get home.

Man : Lady! Are you crazy? Now you have to pay for all of this.

Giselle : I’m sorry. Excuse me; I was wondering if one of you kind people might direct me to the castle? I’m supposed to be at the ball to wed my true love price Edward.

(Enchanted movie, 0:16:30) The dialog above shows about, the people who thinks that she is crazy but Giselle still optimistic that she can finds the true love kiss although the evil queen sent her there, she still walks and asks to people “where my castle and my price”. She very optimists meet with Edward, her true love in fairy tale although Narissa sent her in New York and changes her become real person.

Giselle : Well, usually someone catches me. But not to worry, I am certain that Edward is already searching for me. No doubt by morning he will come and rescue me from this strange land. Take me home, and the two of us can share in true love kiss.

Robert : True love’s kiss?

Giselle : it is the most powerful thing in the world

(Enchanted movie, 0: 20: 35) The dialog above shows that when Giselle said optimist with Robert that she is sure Edward will come and rescue her from this strange land, take her home and the two of them can share in true love’s kiss. According to Giselle, it is the most powerful thing in the world. Then they are inviting Giselle in their apartment.


(37)

b. Mature

Giselle and Robert share interesting conversations on the nature of relationships, his stance being that they are incredibly complicated, and her stance being that they do not have to be. Giselle faces a true love kiss not only from love at the first sight but her thing realistic to face it in her life. There have been so many definitions of this one simple word and one simple emotion. Even if the human leave aside the lust and the sex part, which really are very different emotions and there really cannot be any confusion between love. However, there surely can be a lot of confusion when trying to differentiate between the emotions of Love, first love as opposed to real love, puppy love as different from love at the intellectual level. There are so many different types of emotions attached to this one simple word that ones mind boggles at even the though of interpreting them.

Giselle begins her journey naive and innocent and challenges of the life, she begins to become stronger, more intelligent and need to think more and more to succeed in her quests. All the while, she remains kind, loving, caring and optimistic. She’s also says that love in the real world isn’t always easy as sharing a single true love’s kiss and that she’ll need braveness and maybe just a little enchantment if she’s ever going to find her own happily ever after.


(38)

Robert asks about her Prince and she explains that they have only known each other for a day, which surprises him because he has known Nancy for 5 years. They talk more about their love and life.

Picture 4

Robert : most normal people get to know each other before they get married they date.

Giselle : Date?

Robert : Yeah, you know date. You go some place special. You know, like a restaurant, or a movie, a museum or just hang out and you talk Giselle : you have such strange ideas about love

Robert : maybe we should do what you would do. You meet, have lunch and get married.

(Enchanted movie, 0:50:46) The dialog and the picture above show that Robert explains the concept of dating to her, which she has never heard of before. Giselle shares her interpretation of love with Robert; Robert also give information to Giselle how love is deal with on earth, what “dates” and how the humans go about deciding on their love and marriage. At this point Nathaniel shows up and offers Giselle a free caramel apple, which she takes but accidentally throws


(39)

when passionately talking about love. She talks about love and true love kiss is the most powerful thing in the world.

In the scene where Edward comes to Robert and Morgan’s apartment to get Giselle, as Giselle is explaining what a date is to Edward, the writer looks to the bottom left where Giselle was just standing next to Robert. The writer sees the pink tape on the floor that marks where Giselle was supposed to stand.

After Giselle share about life and love with Robert, Giselle begins to doubt in the power of love. Giselle’s character more matures to face a life and love. In fairy tale, she still believes in love at the first sight and only one meeting she is able to decide to marry, in real world when she meets with Robert, they both feel compatibility and Giselle learns something new about reality life and love.

While searching throughout Manhattan for a return to her castle, she encounters a divorce lawyer and his daughter. She learns about real love 'true love', compatibility, and the challenges of the social world where she is not a special princess and 'happily ever after' is not a guarantee.

Robert : Maybe we should just do what you do. You meet, you have lunch, and you get married.

Giselle : Oh, you forgot about happily ever after.

Robert : Forget about happily ever after, it does not exist.


(40)

The dialog above Robert explains that if Giselle decides to married with other, she must introduce her couple. Moreover, Robert try to open minded of Giselle about true love.

c. Independent

Although in New York Giselle does not have any friends, she is very

independent and always happy. She often does something and makes all persons surprises look her. In the morning, Robert brings her to Central Park where he plans to leave her. He gives her money and says goodbye, but she gives the money away and he catches up to her and walks with her. When Giselle walks with Robert and Giselle makes a town park, become crowed and inviting all people singing and dancing with her. Manhattan New York is a new place from Giselle, she can socialization easily and she can survive although she life in a big city in New York. The lyric below is song when Giselle invite all people singing.

How do you show her you love her? How do I know he loves me? How do I know he is mine?

Well, does he leave a little note to tell you? You are on his mind.

Send you yellow flowers when the sky is grey

Hey, he will find a new way to show you a little bit every day That is how you know he is your love


(41)

3. Character development of Giselle

Based on the character Giselle in fairy tale and real world, the writer concludes that the character of Giselle in enchanted movie is dynamic, because she experiences a lot of changes in character and the way of her thinks about life and love. According to the theoretical framework in chapter II, dynamic character is one who change because of what happens in the plot. It is clear that character of Giselle in this film always dynamic. For example, when she first says “angry” with Robert, when Robert disagree with Giselle’s statement that Edward will come to pick her, Giselle says “angry” with Robert. She never says it before when she lives in Andalasia. Giselle says like that, she optimists Edward will come. Like the dialog below, shows the expression of Giselle.

Giselle: Edward is coming Robert: Giselle, I don’t think so. Giselle: yes

Robert: I have to disagree, no

Giselle: No, is that the only word that you know? Robert: No! Oh yeah. No

Giselle: every word out of your mouth is “no”! It makes me so … Sometimes you make me so …

Robert: I make you so what? Giselle: you make me so angry

(Enchanted movie, 1: 06: 15)

The different character of Giselle who never she does in Andalasia, she is brave to struggle for her true loves.

Narissa : Come along, Giselle. I don’t won’t you miss this ending. It’s the brave little princess coming to the rescue.


(42)

Narissa : We’re coming to the end of our story now. Are you at the edge of your seat Giselle, just dying to know how it ends?

Giselle : Robert! Hold on

(Enchanted movie, 1: 32: 10) The dialog above shows that Giselle tries to save Robert from Narissa, Giselle likes hero who struggle her true loves and she will not her happiness with her prince in New York fail like when she wants to married with Edward in Andalasia.

Night falls and Queen Narissa arrives and heads towards the ball. The writer sees that Nancy and Robert have already arrived as Giselle and Edward make their entrance. Robert and Giselle see each other and the couples meet and greet. Edward introduces Giselle, as the love of his life, as Nancy says that they are the romantic couple. Robert and Giselle dance together and seem very happy and Nancy dances with Edward. At the end of this dance party, Edward and Giselle plans to leave the party and then they go to get their wrap.

Giselle is sadly watching Nancy and Robert come together, when she stands alone the evil queen Narissa walking up and give her a poisoned apple. She eats the apple and falls asleep. The old woman drags her into an elevator that she creates and turns back into Narissa just as Edward stops the elevator. Narissa says that she does not know what happened to Giselle, when Nathaniel shows up and explains her evil plan.


(43)

Picture 6

“Giselle find a true love kiss from Robert not Edward”

Edward : we have to help her. What can we do? I do not know. What do we do? Nathaniel: there’s no way of helping her. She is done for.

Robert : True love kiss. It’s the most powerful thing in the world.

(Enchanted movie, 1:24:36)

The dialog and picture above show of the explanation about Giselle who will die at midnight and Robert remembers what Giselle said about the true loves kiss that she believes it can be the power of love and Robert suggest to Edward to kiss her. Edward tries to kiss her for several times, but it does not wake her because Edward is not her true loves. Then Robert realizes that he is the true love of Giselle, but he does not know how to say it to his fiancée, Nancy. However, Nancy realizes it and asks Robert to kiss Giselle. Then he kisses Giselle who wakes up immediately and they are kissing again.

It makes Narissa angry, she is thinking how to survive her thrown and she does not want to loose it. She decides to kill them and makes up the wrong story about their deaths. Then she changes to be a huge dragon and runs up the building


(44)

with Robert in her hand. Pip, which had been stuck again in a plastic ball and Giselle follow Narissa and try to safe Robert. Narissa ends up dropping Robert, who saved by Giselle, and then Narissa falls and dead. Giselle and Robert kissing on the roof of the building and back to Nancy and Edward, both of them are clearly upset about what has happened. Nancy sees that Giselle has leaved her left shoe and Edward try to puts it to her foot.

Edward failed marriage and his new relationship with a woman named Nancy, it is easy to see where he's coming from. Real life is nowhere near as simple as life in Andalasia, a place where Giselle allowed being naïve and trusting.

When the queen Narissa gives her a poisoned apple, only true loves kiss that can makes her awake. By the end when the evil queen turned vicious dragon threatens her true love kiss (the divorce lawyer, not the prince), she becomes a dragon who battles monsters, uses her newfound strength and skilfully to win back her true love. In the last scene, she succeeds in saving the lawyer in a savage battle that take place in a rain. She is not concerned about getting wet and bedraggled. She rises to the opportunity and finds soft under pressure.

Giselle: I know it is you, Robert. You are my true love kiss. Robert: yes Giselle, we will happily ever after. I love you

(Enchanted movie, 1:26:19) The dialog above shows that when Giselle wake up after she eats a poisoned apple and Robert kiss her. In the end, she not only defined by her beauty, but by


(45)

her strength, courage and confidence in her abilities. She finds that her true love is not the fairy tale prince, but the real character of the lawyer who is not perfect in all of his flaws, but is perfect for her.

The end of the movie is Giselle life in Robert happily and Edward inviting Nancy stays with him in Andalasia. They are life happy. Moreover,

Giselle as a girl out of place nut not lost. Giselle character’s attempts to try bring the rules of Andalasia to New York seems funny and amusing at first but the film progress that she does make a difference because of how much she simply cares. In one of the film’s best scenes, it is a joy watching the results of a brief moment of sexual chemistry between her and Robert play out on her face in such extravagant details.

The film is also very clever in its mix of the two separate worlds, almost to the point of saying that there is reality in fairy-tales and real life is not totally without magic. The song and dance number filmed in Central Park is simply a feat of visual and deep delight. After she gets a lot of an experience in New York, she learns a few important things in her life and love. She knows that people in the real world do not break out into song for no apparent reason; people do not like it when their curtains used to make a dress, and love is not as simple as meeting one day and marrying the next.


(46)

CHAPTER IV

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

A. Conclusion

Enchanted movie told about animated and real world in one format. Giselle in the major character in the movie tries to give a best character in the movie. Giselle live in forest dreaming in Andalasia, she dreams about her prince. In Andalasia character Giselle is an innocence, dreamer, optimist and romantic. When she meets her prince Edward and planning about her wedding, the evil queen Narissa sent her in New York because the evil queen does not want to lose her throne.

After Giselle arrives in New York, she meets with Robert and Morgan his daughter. In New York, Giselle’s character changes became independent, optimist and mature. In New York, Giselle optimists Edward will come to pick her. When Edward comes to rescue her, the character of Giselle is change. She invited Edward for date like the couple in world. The chemistry between Giselle and Edward is lose because she is falling in love with Robert when she met him and share about their love and life experiences. But, it seems impossible to expresses their feeling because they have their own partners.

In New York and after she shares to Robert about life and love Giselle more mature and open minded to face life and love. She learns love in the real world is not always easy to sharing and love is not as simple as meeting one day and the married


(47)

the next. The end of the movie, Giselle married with her prince Robert not Edward her prince in Andalasia. They live happily ever after.

B. Suggestion

The writer suggests for the English student who wants to analyze about the character of film, they have to know about the character itself and the theory that they want to uses as the object of their research.

Finally, the writer hopes this research will enrich reader’s knowledge and useful as reference.
