VIOLENCE IN THE FILM DEADPOOL
This research attempted to analyze the forms of direct violence that
experienced by the main character, Wade Wilson. The theory used in this research
is the Johan Galtung's concept of violence. The researcher applied a descriptive
qualitative research method and used note-taking as the research instrument. The
data were obtained from the script of the Deadpool film. The research found
some indications both of physical and psychological violence that experienced by
the main character. Wade has consistently encountered more physical violence,
ranging from simple acts of violence including adrenaline acts, punching, and
head pounding to extreme acts of violence that almost led to his death as a result
of experiment carried out by Angle and Ajax. Wade faced psychological violence,
including a decline in self-esteem, brainwashing, and despair. The findings of this
research can help us predict when psychological and physical violence will occur,
as well as educate both those who commit violence and those who are the victims
of it. The researcher can conclude that a person experiencing physical or
psychological violence does not mean that person will also do the same thing to
the perpetrator. Even though they succeed, sometimes the desired results do not
match the reality.
