[ABSTRAK Perilaku-perilaku tak wajar seorang tokoh tertentu di dalam sebuah karya sastra ataufilm terkadang menimbulkan pertanyaan apakah perilaku-perilaku tersebut dapatdipercaya atau tidak. Terkadang memang tidak mudah untuk memahami alasan yangmembuat tokoh tersebut berperilaku sebagaimana digambarkan dalam cerita di karyasastra atau film tersebut. Di sinilah pendekatan psikoanalisis bisa menjadi alat yangsesuai untuk memahami hal tersebut.Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan bagaimana prinsip-prinsip psikoanalisisdapat digunakan untuk lebih memahami sebuah film yang berjudul Mereka Bilang,Saya Monyet!, terutama tokoh utamanya, yaitu Adjeng. Secara lebih spesifik, tujuandari penelitian kualitatif ini adalah untuk menemukan bagaimana (1) unsur-unsurnaratif dan sinematografis film ini mencerminkan prinsip-prinsip psikoanalisis Freud,dan (2) bagaimana gejala-gejalan neurosis tokoh utama di dalam film ini ditunjukkandi dalam film, dan bagaimana gejala-gejala tersebut terkait dengan masa lalunya.Dari hasil analisis unsur-unsur naratif film (tema, alur, penokohan, simbol, metafor,ironi, dan alegori) ditemukan bahwa semua unsur naratif tersebut sangat terkaitdengan prinsip-prinsip psikoanalisis Freud. Keterkaitan yang sama juga ditemukanpada unsur-unsur sinematografisnya (gambar, gerakan, dan suara). Keterkaitan unsurunsursinematografis ini mungkin tidak sejelas keterkaitan dengan unsur-unsurnaratif. Meski begitu, unsur-unsur sinematografis tetap mempertegas keterkaitanantara struktur film ini dengan prinsip-prinsip psikoanalisis.Sementara itu, analisis gejala-gejala neurosis pada tokoh utama film ini, Adjeng,menemukan adanya dua macam gejala neurosis yang diderita Adjeng, yaitu ketakutanakan keintiman dan ketakutan akan ditinggalkan (ditelantarkan). Gejala-gejalatersebut ditunjukkan oleh sekuen-sekuen yang menunjukkan hubungannya denganorang-orang terdekatnya, seperti ibunya, kekasih-kekasihnya, dan teman-temandekatnya. Gejala-gejala neurosis tersebut terkait erat dengan kejadian-kejadiantraumatis yang dialami Adjeng ketika masih kecil dulu, khususnya saat ia mengalamikompleks Oedipus. ABSTRACT Uncommon behaviors of a certain character in a literary work or movie sometimesraise a question if such behaviors are really believable or not. In fact, it is sometimesdifficult to understand why such character does the things s/he does in the story toldby the literary work or movie. In this case, a psychoanalysis approach can be a veryeffective tool to understand such thing.This study aims at showing how psychoanalysis principles can be used to get a betterunderstanding of a movie entitled Mereka Bilang, Saya Monyet! (They Say, I am aMonkey!), in general, and its character(s), in particular. To be more specific, theobjective of this qualitative research is to find out (1) how the narrative andcinematographic elements of this movie reflect Freud?s Psychoanalysis principles and(2) how the neurosis symptoms of the main character in this movie, Adjeng, whichare related to her childhood memories, are shown in the movie.The analysis of its narrative elements (theme, plot, characterization, symbolism,metaphor, irony, and allegory) shows that all the elements are closely related toFreud?s Psychoanalysis principles. The same finding also goes to the analysis of itscinematographic elements (picture, motion, dan sounds). Such relation might not beas vivid as the one found in its narrative elements, but cinematographic elementscertainly give strong emphasis on such principles.As for the neurotic symptoms of the main character, Adjeng, it is found that there arebasically 2 kinds of neurotic symptoms that she suffers from; fear of intimacy andfear of abandonment. Such symptoms are shown by the sequences that show herrelationship with the people she is close to, including her mother, her lovers, and herclose friends. These neurotic symptoms are deeply rooted to her traumaticexperiences in her childhood when Oedipus Complex took place.;Uncommon behaviors of a certain character in a literary work or movie sometimesraise a question if such behaviors are really believable or not.
