character of Hal Jordan in the film Green Lantern as an acting model,
and the second describes the transformation from zero to hero in the
film Green Lantern seen from the scheme of functional models. This
movie very interesting because tells about a hero who has a fear of
fighting enemies.
This study used a qualitative approach. The object of analysis is
the narrative of the story or narrative structure. The focus of this
research is on the main character in Green Lantern movie (2011).
The data formed of direct dialogue, and screenshot especially to the
main characters, that related to previous issues and indirect
conversation (narrative).
The results of the study show that the cast is easily known using
the actantial model scheme Then using the functional model scheme,
it is known that the storyline of each sequence of films starts from
the main character who does not have a problem, then raises anxiety
so the enemy comes to defeat the main character, so the main
character can control himself so he can defeat the enemy and get
objects. So, through the scheme of functional models films can be
easily analyzed. It can be concluded that the use of structural
narrative theory Greimas' helps anyone logically follow the process,
flow, and events of a story. Therefore, Greimas' structural narrative
is actually important to consider in analyzing literature.
