Abstract

Green Zone is an interesting movie because it presents the negative assumptions about Sunnis and involves sociopolitical issues in the Iraq War. Thus, this research raises a problem about the portrayal of Sunnis in Green Zone, which leads to the negative images. This research aims to find out how the portrayal of Sunnis and the reasons behind it. Therefore, this research uses Critical Discourse Analysis proposed by Norman Fairclough and film theory proposed by Ed Sikov. The type of this research is qualitative that applies a documentation technique. The data analysis is based on three levels of analysis (micro, mezzo, and macro) as proposed by Fairclough. This research finds that Sunnis are portrayed as evil people and labelled in several forms of negative stereotypes. However, these labels are not accurate including the issues of Weapon of Mass Destruction and Saddam‟s regime tyranny. These portrayals are indeed the responses of filmmaker to sociopolitical issues in Iraq and the Middle East, which are also influenced by the social conflicts in the past namely the Gulf War I, the tragedy of 9/11, and the conflicts between Sunnis, Shias, and Kurds, including the United States ideologies such as neoconservatism and fundamentalism.
