INVESTIGATING INTERROGATION SYSTEM IN GREGOR JORDAN’S
UNTHINKABLE MOVIE (2010): A HUMANISTIC APPROACH
The major problems of this study are how the major character keeps on his
principle and how the violation happens to the major character? The objectives of
the study are: to describe the reasons why the major character keeps on his
principle and to describe how the police’ behavior in violating the major
character, and also why it is not suitable with the human being.
In conducting this study, the researcher uses qualitative research in which the data
are based on primary data source, the movie Gregor Jordan’s Unthinkable itself.
The secondary data are other data which deal with the research. In analysing the
data, he applies two analysis, firtsly, structural approach which is used to analyze
the elements of the movie. It consists of two elements of movie; they are narrative
elements and technical elements. Secondly, the humanistic approach is used for
analysing interrogation system applied by police and characteristics of Younger.
In conclusion, the writer finds that the narrative elements of movie consist of
characters and characterization, setting plot, point of view and theme. The
technical elements consist of mise-en-scene, cinematography, sound and editing.
In humanistic analysis, the writer concludes that interrogation system which is
applied by police is contradicted with human being. As human being Younger has
many needs to fulfill his life. Younger has been treated badly, but it cannot stop
Younger to keep in silent.
Key words: Interrogation system, unthinkable, a humanistic
