Judul THE MEANING OF BEING HUMAN FOR THE MAIN CHARACTER IN BRAD SIBERLINGS MOVIE CITY OF ANGEL
Abstrak Human is a creature that is blessed with perfection, but they are not thankful with the so many gifts given to them and lead into greediness. The film describes the moral value of human being as they are created as a perfect creature among the others, and the film nicely captures it where an angel is also willing to be human. The study focus on the meaning of being human for Seth Plate as the main character of City of Angel directed by Brad Silberling. In this study there are two main problems that would like to be answered throughout the analysis. The first one is about the meaning of Seth Plate’s self transformation from the point of view of Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis. The second one is to analyze humanistic values of the transformation in the point of view of Fromm’s theory of meaning of to have and to be. The method used in the analysis is a qualitative one in which it focused on finding of the dialogue which supports both theories-psychoanalysis and personality. The data were collected through the process of watching, transcribing, identifying, classifying, selecting and reporting the selected data as related to the theories. The result of the study shows that external pressures put an effect towards Seth’s decision to be human which is very much meaningful for him. In this way we could say that the superego drives him more than the id. Whereas in Fromm’s meaning of to have and to be, he is once in the state of being where he acts as an angel but then he turns his state into the state of having for he is having desire to taste, to feel, to see, and to be together with Maggie. In this way he is falling into that state related to the existence of her. In other word, Seth Plate’s significant achievement is his being into human rather than his wish to have Maggie Rice.
