Abstract

This study aims to identify the three levels of conflicts: inner, personal, and extra-personal conflict experienced by the main character in the movie Chicken Run (2000), as conceptualized by Robert McKee. Utilizing Roland Barthes’ semiotics theory, and the study investigates how these three levels of conflicts are depicted through semiotics theory within the film. This study employs a descriptive qualitative research methodology to examine the narrative complexities in the movie Chicken Run (2000). Data collection involved a series of steps: watching the movie, reading the movie script, identifying the data, classifying the data, and reducing the data. The primary data was taken from the movie, with dialogues and monologues serving as key evidence. Secondary data, including journals, articles, theses, and relevant e-books, support and enrich the primary data. The unit of analysis focuses on phrases and sentences within the dialogues and monologues, providing a comprehensive understanding of the narrative. The findings of this study reveal the three levels of conflicts: inner, personal, and extra-personal conflict experienced by Ginger, the main character in Chicken Run (2000). Inner conflicts are driven by Ginger's adrenaline and fear, her moral responsibilities, and her strong desire for freedom. Personal conflicts stem from her interactions with business partners, adversaries, and friends. Extra-personal conflicts involve power struggles within the farm, biological limitations like flightlessness, and systemic oppression symbolized by the pie machine. By employing denotation, connotation, and myth, this research illustrates how representations of leadership, the dichotomy of hope versus despair, and the struggle between freedom and oppression underscore the protagonist's quest for liberation and resistance against oppressive forces. The dialogues in Chicken Run support each semiotic sign identified by the researcher, providing denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings depicted in the film. Keywords: Semiotic, Roland Barthes, Three Level of Conflict, Robert McKee, Chicken Run.
