The purpose of this research is to analyze the concept of Ie and also identify the symbols that appear in the film. This research uses descriptive qualitative method as the main approach in the research process. The results of this study show that the concept of Ie as a traditional Japanese family system is clearly depicted in the film Still Walking, which emphasizes family values, ancestor worship, and gender roles, especially the position of women. These values are manifested through various cultural symbols and customs, such as ancestor worship altars, kakun culinary traditions, and forms of respect for deceased family members. Such symbols not only reflect respect for the past, but also affirm the continuity of family values passed down from generation to generation. | en_US |
