Abstract

This research examines the identity construction of immigrants in the film Hala (2019). The film tells the story of a teenager named Hala, who is a second-generation immigrant in the West, who is experiencing a cultural identity crisis in the midst of generational conflict in a diaspora family. The study focuses on the difference of mimicry performed by first and second-generation immigrants and how the second-generation immigrant constructs her identity. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods and applies the theory of post-colonialism by Homi K. Bhabha and film theory by Ed-Sikov. The findings reveal both generations of immigrants in the film Hala (2019) performed mimicry for different reasons. The first-generation immigrants performed mimicry as a form of survival in the dominant culture, which aligns with Bhabha’s views. In contrast, the second-generation immigrant did mimicry as she got pressure from the root culture and had the choice to do so. Additionally, the mimicry carried out by the second-generation immigrant is constructed around ambivalence which also affects the construction of her cultural identity.
