Abstract

Many movies and studies about Islam in America portray the relation between Muslims and non-Muslims. One is like how immigrant Muslims are treated by non-Muslims in bad ways like discrimination, marginalization, and exclusion. However, there is another perspective which discusses the personal and interpersonal relationship of Muslims themselves. Thus, the researcher perceives that it is important to analyze Hala (2019) because it tells how Muslims in America connect to one another. Particularly, the movie examines the internal problems of immigrant Muslim teenager named Hala which the researcher criticizes on how it is portrayed. Using qualitative method, this research applies representation theory by Stuart Hall and Mise-en-scene theory by Roy Thompson and Christopher J. Bowen. The researcher finds that Hala represents a cultural Muslim who conforms herself to American environment. It can be conluded that she: (1) is an unobservant Muslim for skipping prayer, masturbating, having sex, being reluctant to Islamic law; (2) is an assimilated immigrant for avoiding arranged marriage, willing to drive car, not dressing traditionally, rarely speaking her native language; and (3) remains praying but diverges from Islamic common precept by unveiling her hijab.
