Film, Bullying, John Fiske's SemioticsAbstract
Bullying is a social issue caused by factors such as physical appearance, sexuality, social status, and unequal power relations between individuals or groups. These conditions often lead to exclusion and psychological pressure on victims. This study aims to analyze the representation of bullying in the film Thread of Lies using John Fiske’s semiotic theory, which consists of the levels of reality, representation, and ideology. At the level of reality, bullying is shown through environmental settings, behavior, and facial expressions that reflect mocking, exclusion, and emotional distress. At the level of representation, camera techniques and background music strengthen the emotional impact of the scenes. Meanwhile, at the ideological level, the film presents inhumane actions such as verbal bullying, manipulation, and playing the victim, particularly toward Cheon Ji. These actions result in severe psychological trauma and demonstrate the serious consequences of bullying on the victim’s mental well-being.
