Abstract

This research aims at analysing Eat Pray Love movie which researcher believes contains an issue related to West and East. This research focuses on domination and authority of West over East. This research employs Orientalism theory by Edward Said which says that Orientalism leads to domination of Western over Orient. “Orientalism can be discussed and analyzed as the corporate institution for dealing with the Orient-dealing with it by making statements about it, authorizing views of it, describing it.........: in short, Orientalism as Western style for dominating, restructuring, and having authority over the Orient (Said, 2003:32). Film theory is applied to help the researcher to examine shots and anything related to filming, especially the setting technique. After examining film thouroughly; starting with Liz who tries to find what she wants in life, Liz’s conflicts, and the methods she takes to recover herself which is by traveling to Italy, India, and Bali, the researcher concludes that Eat Pray Love still contains Western stereotype about Eastern people like what Edward Said says about Orientalism. Eastern countries and their people are depicted in this film as simple-minded people who do not have the power against the Western authority, or on the other hand, the Western people are depicted as well educated people with big authority in both of their own countries and in Eastern countries.
