Abstract

This thesis analyzes Roald Dahl's 1982 children's book, The BFG–also known as The Big Friendly Giant–and its 2016 adaptation, The BFG, directed by Stephen Spielberg. The research intends to describe the differences in the portrayal of England in the aforementioned works. It also aims to examine the image of England in the movie. Hutcheon's adaptation theory is applied to explain how the movie's portrayal of England and the English differs from one in the book. Meanwhile, the image of England as a country is analyzed by scrutinizing the movie's Mise-en-scène elements. The findings indicate that the movie uses a significant portion of its running time to showcase the beauty of England and the integrity of the English. The findings also imply that The BFG (2016)'s Mise-en-scène elements enhance the positive image of England and its people.
