Abstract

This research explores the complex interactions of parent-teen relationships, as depicted in two influential Western and Indonesian movies: Dead Poets Society (1989) and Negeri 5 Menara (2012). Both have different social and cultural norms in terms of different aspects of family values in dealing with and resolving the same issues. It specifically scrutinizes the psychological repercussions of repressive and authoritarian parenting styles on the central characters, Neil and Alif, respectively. The research employs Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory as a lens to dissect the psychological underpinnings that trigger anxiety, a consequence of the suppression inherent in these relationships. The methodology adopted is a descriptive qualitative analysis supplemented by an extensive review of relevant literature, documents, and film documentation. The study reveals that while both characters grapple with anxiety, the manifestations differ. Neil's anxiety is characterized by fear, while Alif's manifests as depression. The research further underscores the critical role of unconscious defense mechanisms in coping with these anxiety conditions. By juxtaposing the experiences of Neil and Alif, this study illuminates the universal impact of authoritarian parenting on adolescent mental health while also highlighting the unique ways in which individuals respond to and cope with such stressors. The results suggest that Alif has a balance between id, ego, and superego which makes him able to control himself and be more oriented in morality by considering the moral consequences of actions and the common good. Meanwhile, Neil has an id that tends to control him, thus making Neil act without taking into account all the consequences of committing suicide. In the aspect of self-defense mechanisms, Alif's sublimation strategy is considered more effective in responding to the anxiety situation he faces. Meanwhile, the repression self-defense strategy that occurs in Neil is considered inefficient. The repression process gives emotional tension that ends with suicide decision making in order to eliminate unwanted things from consciousness.
