THE AMBIGUITY OF THE GRAVE'S TORMENT IN THE FILM SIKSA KUBUR BY JOKO ANWAR

(Riffaterre and Stuart Hall's Semiotic Analysis)

Abstract

The punishment of the grave is a phenomenon that is believed to definitely occur by the majority of religious people, especially among Muslims, Islamic religious figures (Ahl Al-Sunnah) have agreed that life in the grave is real, it can be in the form of pleasure or slander (torture), so that Muslims are required to believe in life after death. This research aims to analyze the film Siksa Kubur by Joko Anwar using the semiotic approach of Riffaterre and Stuart Hall. This research is of the qualitative type with data collection based on observations of the Siksa Kubur film in question and literature studies based on research and writings that are relevant to this research. The conclusion of this research is that a paradox (ambiguous) was found, namely a statement which states that the form of a person's punishment in the grave is in accordance with his fear (what he fears most), this statement carries a double meaning in other aspects, it also serves as justification that promises and threats in beliefs other than Islam are true, and the punishment in the grave can be in the form of heaven or pleasant things (which is what a person fears most is subjective).
