ABSTRACT
RomaWidawanto. A320050275. AUNG SAN SUU KYI’S ENDEAVOUR
AND FEMALE LEADERSHIP IN LUC BESSON’S THE LADY MOVIE
(2011): AN INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE. Research
Paper. Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta. 2014.
This study describes the endeavor and female leadership of Suu Kyi
through individual psychological perspective, and analyzes the movie “The Lady”
based on its structural elements.
The research is conducted by using qualitative method. In this method, the
researcher uses two data sources, namely primary and secondary data sources. The
primary data source is film The Lady directed by Luc Besson. The secondary data
source are the books about individual psychology and the other sources, which are
related to the analysis. The method of collecting data is observation and library
review.
Based on the analysis, the study reveals that there are some motives
underlying the endeavor of Aung San Suu Kyi. Fiction finalism deals with Suu
Kyi’s expectation of her goals of life that motivate her to make a great effort.
Inferiority feeling can be seen when Suu Kyi was being arrested in her house.
Striving for superiority of Suu Kyi shows when she survives and struggles with a
lot of pressures from the government that try to make her fail, although she was
sick and also lost her husband. Aung San Suu Kyi’s style of life makes her
become the first women in Burmese who was brave to be a leader, to take the
democracy for her people, although she should lost her husband. She takes all the
risks to get freedom for her country and for her people. Her social interest
motivates her to communicate and cooperate with others in order to help herself or
people surrounding her. Her creative power motives her to have plans to reach her
goal or solutions of her problem.
