Abstract

In the present era, media is one of the determining factors for changing and influencing the human perspective. One of the media used is movie. In 2007 a movie called The Kite Runner was produced by DreamWorks and directed by Marc Foster. This movie was adapted based on The Kite Runner novel by Khaled Hosseini which was first released in 2002. The story written by Khaled Hosseini is very thick with Islam and culture in Afghanistan. However, after being adapted to the movie, it turned out many differences in characters, discourses, and settings that obviously reduce the thickness of Islam. That is the reason why the researcher makes this research. This research focuses on problems in comparing the novel and movie concerning discourses, characters, and settings that are shown to reduce Islamic thickness. This research uses adaptation theory by Linda Huctheon. This study uses qualitative method to analyze the research. After analyzing the data, there are many evidences that in this adaptation the producer and director make depictions of Islam which are different from Islam in the novel and Islam in the East is intended to be radical Islam like the Taliban. On the other hand, the main characters of this movie are portrayed as more westernized Islam. The researcher assumes that the producer and director have a role in politicizing the portrayal of Islam. Keywords: Islam, Afghanistan, Adaptation, Novel, Movie, The Kite Runner Pada era sekarang, media menjadi salah satu faktor penentu untuk mengubah dan mempengaruhi sudut pandang manusia. Salah satu media yang digunakan adalah film. Pada tahun 2007, sebuah film berjudul The Kite Runner diproduksi oleh DreamWorks dan disutradarai oleh Marc Foster. Film ini diadaptasi berdasarkan novel The Kite Runner oleh Khalid Hoesseini yang dirilis pertama kali pada tahun 2002. Kisah yang ditulis Khalid Hoeseini ini sangat kental dengan Islam dan budaya di Afghanistan. Namun setelah diadaptasi menjadi sebuah film, ternyata terdapat banyak sekali perbedaan-perbedaan dalam karakter, wacana, dan setting yang sangat jelas mengurangi kekentalan Islam. Itulah alasan yang peneliti membuat penelitian ini. Penelitian ini memfokuskan pada masalah dalam perbandingan antara novel dan film yang menyangkut wacana, karakter, dan setting yang terlihat mengurangi kekentalan Islam. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori adaptasi dari Linda Huctheon. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif untuk memperdalam penelitian. Setelah data dianalisis, banyak ditemukan bukti bahwa dalam adaptasi ini produser dan sutradara membuat penggambaran Islam yang berbeda dengan Islam yang ada pada novel dan Islam yang ada di Timur lebih kepada Islam radikal seperti Taliban. Di lain sisi, karater-karakter utama film ini menggambarakan Islam yang lebih kebarat-baratan. Peneliti mengasumsikan bahwa produser dan sutradara mempunyai peran dalam mempolitisasi penggambaran Islam. Kata kunci: Islam, Afghanistan, Adaptasi, Novel, Film, The Kite Runner
