Intervensi Ibu terhadap Anak Perempuan dalam Film The Last Woman Standing Karya Luo Luo

Abstract

This study discusses the form of maternal intervention towards daughters and the interpersonal conflicts that arise in Luo Luo's film The Last Woman Standing. In Chinese society, which is still strongly influenced by the patriarchal system, marriage is considered a social obligation for women. This film represents social pressure through the character of the mother who urges her daughter to get married immediately. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with content analysis. In addition, this study uses Nancy Chodorow's feminist theory to provide an understanding of the role of mothers as agents of patriarchy who spread conventional gender values. The results show that maternal intervention in this film occurs not only verbally but also through subtle and continuous emotional and psychological control. Conflict between mothers and daughters arises as a result of this intervention, which is reflected in the tension between the desire for individual freedom and conventional values. This study finds that maternal intervention in patriarchal societies is not only a form of affection but also reflects social pressure that is passed down through intergenerational family relationships.
