%T THE WESTERN REPRESENTATION OF THE MIDDLE EASTERN IN ROBOCOP (2014)
%X The purpose of this research is to analyze Robocop (2014), which the researcher believes contains a Western-Middle Eastern issue. This research focuses on the domination and authority of the West over the Middle East. The research utilizes Edward Said's Orientalism Theory, which states that Orientalism leads to Western dominance over the 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 is Western style for dominating, restructuring, and having authority over the Orient” (Said, 2003:32). Film theory is applied to assist the researcher in analyzing shots and anything related to cinematography, particularly the setting technique, after a thorough examination of the film; starting with OmniCorp machines performing routine operations in Tehran and shooting minors for carrying weapons, OmniCorp constructed a man in a machine with feelings; Alex Murphy, who is severely injured by a car explosion, is chosen to become a cyborg; and the researcher concludes that Robocop (2014) still contains Western representations of Middle Eastern people, like what Edward Said says about Orientalism. The Middle Eastern country and its people are depicted in this film as simple-minded people who do not have power against the Western authority, or, on the other hand, the Western people are depicted as well-educated people with big authority in both their own country and in the Middle Eastern country.
