Abstract

Abstract This research is an attempt to investigate and analyze the lore or theme in a movie that based on a theme of racism and how it is portraited in modern society. The movie we are looking at are Candyman (2021) an urban legend horror movie directed by Nia DaCosta. Following the theory of David Bordwell (1993) and Ed Pincus (1996) on cinema and cinematic ideology, we can identify some nature of racism in the Candyman movie, but as based on the movie`s horror genre of an urban legend these hints are very subtle and hard to determine if it is a hint of racism or not. Fortunately, through the theory of previous research, we were able to identify a portrayal of direct and subtle hint of racism within the film that has a connection with the story of the movie, also from one of the settings in the movie. We also included an explanation of some aspects in our findings to justify our suspicion of the essence of racism which present within the movie, hopefully this research could enable and help people better understand various things a movie can contain, directly or subtly. Keywords: African-American, Candyman, horror, racism, urban legend, subtleties.
