Abstract

Films are not only a medium of entertainment, but also reflect social and psychological issues in society. The film Berbalas Kejar (2023) raises the issue of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) through the main character named Adam, a victim of violence and a witness to the murder of his wife and child who experienced deep trauma for two years. The study aims to determine how PTSD is represented in this film. The approach used is John Fiske's semiotics, which includes the levels of reality, representation, and ideology. The results of the study show that PTSD in the film is represented through 30 scenes that display symptoms such as re-experiencing symptoms, avoidance symptoms, arousal and reactivity symptoms, and cognition and mood symptoms. At the level of reality, PTSD symptoms are visualized through Adam's facial expressions, body language, behavior, environment, and conversations which indicate a fairly severe psychological disorder. Cinematic elements such as low key lighting, tense atmosphere, and camera composition that predominantly uses medium and close-up shots strengthen the representation of the trauma experienced by the main character. Ideologically, this film raises criticism of the system that passively handles victims as a whole, and shows the tendency towards vigilantism as a result of trauma that is not handled properly. Keywords: PTSD; Film Berbalas Kejam; Vigilantism; Representation
