Abstract

Identity crisis is an intense period of time when an individual is exploring various roles that can be accepted as his or her identity. It occurs particularly when a person is in the process of identity development. In Ali’s Wedding (2017), Ali is a Muslim immigrant in Australia who faces a complicated identity crisis. He is burdened with expectations of his parents and the conservative society around him. He also experiences a cultural clash from two opposite cultures, that is, of the Middle Eastern and Australian. In this situation, Ali explores other roles to find the true identity that can be achieved by himself. It triggers some conflicts in his identity development as a young man. In his period of late adolescence, he should deserve getting his freedom to make a decision and to determine the choices without any compulsions. This qualitative research uses identity development theory by Erik Erikson, identity status theory by James Marcia, and movie theory by Villarejo. This research found that Ali experiences identity confusion. It can be explored through the identity statuses as an elaboration of the identity development theory based on the person’s crisis from each component’s identities. The research finds that Ali’s identity crisis can be explained within three identity statuses i.e., identity foreclosure, identity moratorium, and identity achievement. This research also proves that social context gives a big influence on Ali’s identity formation. It can determine whether a person would experience identity confusion or successfully find his true identity.
