Abstract

This research is a study that compares two different works, which are the novel entitled Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan (2013) and the film adaptation with the same title Crazy Rich Asians by director Jon M. Chu (2018). By using the adaptation theory by Linda Hutcheon, this thesis aims to examine how Jon M. Chu describes the lifestyle and fashion behavior of the characters, which the majority of the character are the upper class people, by looking at the three points of social stratification proposed by Max Weber, which are class, social and power. This research was carried out using a qualitative method, where the results of this research showed that there were several important differences in describing the lifestyle and fashion behavior of the characters between the novel and the film Crazy Rich Asians and grouping them into the three points of social stratification proposed by Max Weber. I argue that the lifestyle of upper-class people and fashion behavior in the novel are illuminated luxuriously on the screen. The atmosphere in the film of the lifestyle and fashion behavior strengthens the arrogant manners of high society. The novel’s social dynamics and romantic drama have been exposed with a strong ambiance for the cinematic experience for the audience.
