CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
This chapter consists of the
background of the study, statement of the problem, objective of the study, scope and limitation,
significance of the study, and definition of key terms.
1.1 Background of the Study Literature is a kind of work of art which uses
language a tool to deliver it. As Wellek
and Warren said that literature is a human creativity—work of art. The
definition includes written or oral work
(1990: 3). It doesn’t include the dangle of nice words, but it means of the author’s effort in creating the
diction, even to “deconstruct” it in order to get the author’s needs.
Literature—looked from the
content—it includes fiction work or it doesn’t cover to the fact. Literature is different from
news, traveling report, history, biography, and thesis. But, literature includes the works
which contains the imagination of human being.
On the other hand, literature is
language inwhich the various elements and components of the text are brought into a complex
relation (Culler, 1997: 29).
The world which is created by the
author’s imagination can be formed in the poem, novel, and drama. All of them are the
fictions which are separated from the reality.
Concerning with Culler’s opinion
that literature has a special relation to the world—a relation we call ‘fictional’, it means that
literary work just a product of human beings’ imagination. The literary work is a linguistic
event that projects a fictional world which includes speakers, actors, events, and an
implied audience (1997: 31).
There are two ways to discuss
literature, contents and its literature aspects. The content of literature discusses about three
aspects of literary work, for instance; subject matter, theme and message of the story.
Considering those aspects in content analysis, hence the researcher will study the content of
the story of Casino Royalefilm by analyzing
James Bond’s love and its effect on his attitude toward his career. Whereas the
literature aspects discusses aboutthe
intrinsic aspects of literary work; such as plot, character, theme, point of view, setting and
so on. Theme includes the analysis both the content of the story and the intrinsic aspects
of the story.
The researcher chooses her object
of research the script of Casino Royalefilm, because this analysis almost the same as play
text. Jahn (2003) asserted that film script is a text containing a film’s action narrative
and dialogue. A film script is either a ‘recipe’ for making a film or a written record of a
finished film.
Related to the genre, film is
both a narrative and a performed genre. It is assumed that film is a performed genre that comes
tolife in performance. Like watching a play, watching a film is a collective public
experience and social occasion. Since film is a narrative genre, it is related to a textual
form; and script film is considered as a textual form. Jahn (2003) said that script film is
also consideredas a text. While drama, according
to Perrine's (1984: 1115) like prose fiction, makes use of plot and characters,
develops themes, arouses emotional
responses, and may be either literary or commercial in its representation of reality. Thus, film
analysis can build an interesting relationship between text and performance just like in
drama analysis. Peck and Coyle said that most of the plays are not only entertaining to
watch but also enjoyable to read (1984: 74).
Casino Royalefilm is chosen as
the research object because of several considerations.
First, the actor of this film, DanielCraig, is a famous actor and the best Bond in the franchise’s history. Daniel Craig
stars as "007" James Bond, the smoothest, sexiest, and most lethal agent on Her
Majesty's Secret Service in Casino Royale.
(http://www.tribute.ca/movies/Casino+Royale/10503).
Second, this film is one of the films
which come into ‘Box Office’. Daniel Craig’s first James Bond film, Casino Royale, is doing remarkably successful around
the world at the box office (Zidel: 2007).
Then, based on the literature
consideration, the researcher thinks that this story is very interesting to be watched and to be read,
because this story portrays action, adventure, and romantic mood, hence this story tends
toshow plot, character, and action more. So, analyzing the content of the story will
deliver, especially studying on the main character, Bond’s love and its effect on his attitude
toward his career in Casino Royalefilm.
Casino Royaleintroduces James
Bond before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous and with two
professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to “OO” status. “M”, one who
takes him to Madagaskar, the Bahamas and eventually leads him to Montenegro to face Le
Chiffre, a ruthless financier under threat from his terrorist clientele, who is
attempting to restore his funds in a high stakes poker games at the Casino Royale. “M” places Bond
under the watchful eye of the Treasury official
Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical Bond’s attitude of what value Vesper can
provide, Bond’s interest in her deepens
as they brave to face danger together. Le Chiffre’s cunning and cruelty come to bear on them both in way
Bond could never imagine, and he learns his
most important lesson “Trust no one”.
Here, the researcher has been
interested in choosing this topic because of those reasons above. Moreover, we can know deeply
how James Bond’s love and its effect on his
attitude toward his career; How is it possibly happened? Besides,we know that
James Bond is never unserious in love,
if he felt inlove, he must have certain curiosity, for example to reveal the slimy bugger of his
rival in his mission as the secret agent ‘007’.
The researcher has found the
previous research which has been conducted by Nofi Irmawati (2003) entitled A Personality
Analysis on the Main Character of The Lord of The Rings.This study as a reference of the
researcher to conduct thisresearch, because generally she discusses about the personality
of the maincharacter using Maslow’s personality
theory, that the human basic needs consist of the physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, the esteem
needs and self actualization needs. Here, the researcher also will discuss about one of the
human’s basic needs, for instance love and belonging needs; since it can affect James
Bond’s attitudes toward his career as a secret agent ‘007’.
Due to the above consideration,
the researcher decides toconduct a study on “Analysis on James Bond’s Love and Its
Effecton His Attitude toward His Career in Casino Royale Film”.
1.2 Statement of the Problem Concerning to the background of the study
above, the problem to be discussed is formulated
as follow: How does James Bond’s love to
Vesper Lynd affect his attitude toward his career in Casino Royalefilm? 1.3 Objective of the Study In accordance with the statement of the
problem, this study aims to explain how James
Bond’s love to Vesper Lynd affects his attitudeand his career in Casino Royale film.
