The film is one of the mass communication media that is audio-visual to send messages to the public. Film as a medium of mass communication serves as a medium for conveying criticism of certain phenomena. In terms of delivering these criticisms, filmmakers must adapt to the existing reality so that audiences can understand and receive messages from the film. One of the common phenomena shown in a film is poverty, this is because the phenomenon of poverty is one of the many social problems faced by various countries. This study aims to determine the meaning of denotation, connotation, and the myth of poverty contained in the scenes of the film Parasite and the film The White Tiger.
The research method used is a qualitative research method with the semiotic analysis technique of Roland Barthes. The subjects of this research are the film Parasite and The White Tiger, with the object of the research being pieces of scenes that represent poverty in the two films, which consist of 9 scenes from the film Parasite and 11 scenes from the film The White Tiger. Data collection techniques used are observation and documentation, with data validity triangulation techniques.
The results showed that the scene pieces in the film Parasite and the film The White Tiger represent structural poverty that is seen directly from the meaning of denotation, connotation and myth. The denotative meaning of poverty in the films Parasite and The White Tiger is shown from several aspects, including inadequate housing conditions, a remote living environment, inadequate education of the characters, and the limited opportunities they have in improving their standard of living. The meaning of the connotation of poverty in the film Parasite is indicated by the lower classes in South Korea who live in semi-basement houses and their distinctive body odor, while in the film The White Tiger is shown by the arbitrary treatment received by poor characters. There are four myths developed in the film Parasite, namely education is the main key in achieving success; body odor is a class marker for a person or group; the influence of the relationship is stronger than the effort and quality of a person in achieving success; and people from the lower classes have a resigned attitude. Meanwhile, in the film The White Tiger, the myth developed is that the villagers do not have the competitiveness in developing their standard of living; Indians value a sense of kinship; children from the lower classes have to earn a living; and the caste system in India dictates every aspect of their lives.
