"Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dan mengevaluasi representasi American Dream dalam film Amerika yang berjudul The Greatest Showman (2017) (TGS). Terinspirasi dari kisah hidup tokoh self-made man di abad ke-19 yang bernama P.T. Barnum, film TGS menceritakan perjalanan karakter Barnum menjadi pebisnis sirkus dengan menggunakan struktur naratif rags to riches pada abad ke-19. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis dengan pendekatan kualitatif, yang berfokus pada karakter Barnum dan karakter pemain sirkus Barnum yang merepresentasikan kaum minoritas beraneka ragam ras, warna kulit, dan keunikan fisik. Penelitan ini berargumen bahwa film TGS merekonstruksi American Dream di abad ke-19. TGS memahami bahwa American Dream bukan lagi mengenai kesuksesan finansial semata, melainkan keseimbangan antara pemenuhan pribadi dan kepentingan keluarga, tanpa harus mengagungkan pencapaian duniawi seperti reputasi dan kekayaan. Penelitian ini juga berargumen bahwa film TGS menggambarkan sirkus Barnum sebagai versi utopis American Dream dengan menciptakan komunitas yang memberi kesempatan yang setara bagi semua kelas dan ras untuk tampil dan mendapatkan apresiasi atas kemampuannya. Akan tetapi, penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa representasi American Dream dalam film TGS masih tetap melanggengkan hak istimewa laki-laki berkulit putih.

This study aims to analyze and evaluate the representation of the American Dream in the American film entitled The Greatest Showman (2017) (TGS). Inspired by the life story of a self-made man in the 19th century, P.T. Barnum, TGS tells the journey of Barnum's character to become a circus businessman in 19th-century through rags to riches narrative structure. This study uses a descriptive-analytical method with a qualitative approach, which focuses on the character of Barnum and the character of the Barnum circus performers who represent minorities of various races, skin colors, and physical uniqueness. This research argues that TGS reconstructs the concept of the American Dream of the 19th century. TGS understands that the American Dream is no longer about financial achievement, but a balance between personal fulfilment and family integrity, without glorifying secular accomplishments such as reputation and wealth. This study also argues that TGS portrays Barnum's circus as a utopian version of the American Dream by creating a community that provides equal opportunities for all classes and races to perform and gain an appreciation for their abilities. However, this study finds the representation of the American Dream in the TGS film still perpetuates the privilege of white men."

"ABSTRACT9 Summers 10 Autumns (2011) is an autobiographical novel about a young man from a small city of Batu who later succeeds in pursuing his dream by working in the United States. The novel was written based on lwan Setyawan's life story and it was made into a movie by the same title in 2013. Two years later, the movie was adapted into an augmented motion picture hinted illustrative book which combines novel, comic, app, and movie together. This phenomenon of re-transformation of a literary work is said to be the first of its kind in Indonesia and has somewhat contributed to the rising trend of movies adapted into books or comics in Indonesia, such as Assalamualaikum Beijing (2015) and Ada Apa dengan Cinta? (What's Up with Love?) (2016). This study examines lwan Setyawans strategy for achieving legitimacy in the arena of Indonesian literature through his motivational rags-to-riches ideals which are depicted in the book. The discussion is carried out by applying Pierre Bourdieus field of cultural production theory, as well as the sociology of literature approach, in order to highlight the phenomenon of transformation from novel into movie and eventually into an augmented motion picture hinted illustrative book. Later, this study discovered that the phenomenon has changed the image of Indonesian art and literary world. lt proves that such prestigious legitimacy can now be achieved through commercial strategies, making it seem dynamic, but at the same time questionable in its most authentic sense."
