Abstract

Muslim identity is determined by a Muslim who follows religious customs and practices. One example of many Muslim identities can be seen from Muslim immigrants. Immigrant is one of the interesting topics to be discussed. The immigrants discussed are religious minorities in certain areas. The Big Sick is a film that tells about a Muslim immigrant in America. The main character in this film Kumail Nanjiani is a young Muslim from Pakistan. He is a man who wants to be an American because of a woman he loves even though he tries to ignore the pressure exerted by his family. The author uses three sequential theories of human reality from Jacques Lacan in analyzing the character identity through behaviors that Kumail has done. Furthermore, this theory will be used to analyze images, dialogues, and actions from the main character. In his behaviors, the author finds several aspects of Kumail's behaviors that can be seen from the symbolic, imaginary, and real that exist in Kumail's life. The analysis creates the patterns that fit to the storyline. Thus, the researcher concludes that a person's identity can change when he has a reason to change it.
