Abstract

Nowadays, the form of jihad action is experiencing changes. Jihad is more provocative and leads to the act of terrorism. One of the movies that show jihad in that way is Four Lions. Based on the story, jihad is portrayed as an act of terrorism which is not suitable with the concept of jihad in Islam. This paper discusses the representation of jihad in Four Lions. The researcher found the construction of jihad in this movie, which is constructed by main characters. The aim of this research is to know how jihad is constructed in this movie, also why jihad is constructed in that way. Therefore, this research applies one dimension of critical discourse analysis of Norman Fairclough namely microstructural discourse analysis. It is to find out the ideology or hidden intent in discourse. There are four stages of CDA method include the identification of the social wrongs, the identification of obstacles of the social wrongs, the analysis whether the social order needs the social wrong, and the solutions to tackle the social wrongs. To support the analysis, the researcher also applies film theory by Villarejo to strengthen the result of analysis. This research is descriptive qualitative. The result of this research shows that there are misconceptions of jihad. The misconception of jihad in this movie can be identified by analyzing the social and ideological practices of the movie through how the characters think, speak, interact and behave. The main characters of this movie construct their way to do jihad. It is because these characters are not smart and even tend to be idiot. This movie makes people's eyes open that acts of violence in the name of jihad are very dishonorable. It is just the stupid act of people who do not fully understand the meaning of jihad and their own religious doctrines.
