abstract: As media of representation, film describes things in the society which’s close and familiar
with the people, including certain aspect of religion. Religious theme has already
introduced since this industry started. However, religious conversion is kind of rare topic
to be discussed or inserted in any movie since film is a mass production in which the
dimension of its impact is particularly intensive and broad. Focusing on two movies Ayat-
Ayat Cinta ( Indonesia ) and Mu’allaf 2( Malaysia) , from two countries in which the
Muslim is dominant, the research finds out that representing of this kind of topic is not
only controversial but also unpopular since religious diversity is endorsed in most
countries in the world. The represented idea is mostly based on the dominant culture
preferences which implies to the way how and why things are represented. In this sense,
those who control the production would eventually have a chance to present things on
his/his own and project its own way of seeing the world so that those who are
subordinated by it accepts it as ‘common sense’ and ‘natural’
