the children, have a good personality and also how to guard the emotions in every
situation when raising a child.

is one of the famous popular fictions after the novel and it is not categorized as fiction
because of more tendentious to drama.3 The Nanny Diaries film is one of the famous

freshly graduated with honor from New York University, who realized during a
corporate interview that she doesn’t know what she wanted to do in her life until there
is a woman, Mrs. X, who is Upper East Side clan, meets her in Central Park and looks

CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
A. Psychology The word “Psychology” comes from Greek, namely “Psyche”, that means
“Soul”, and “Logos”, that means “Science”1 Psychology is as a discipline science that
specific to study human behavior have many space is that quite wide in field and in
human behavior. In general, psychology defines as psychology that study behavior or
an individual daily psyche in normal adult.
Psychological knowledge is applied to various spheres of human activity,
including issues related to everyday life, such as family, education and employment.
Psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and
social behavior.2 Psychology was born in the 1880 as the science of consciousness
and psychology may be defined as the science of individual human behavior.
Wilhelm Wundt says in his major theme, “Psychology is the study of the
normal human mind—and nothing more”.3 It means Psychology has a duty to
investigate human feelings by experiences in his/ her environment that expresses
problems.

B. Emotion Psychology of film is a film study which gaze the work as the psychological
activity. Psychology studies beside carefully examined characterization’s character in
psychologist but also the thinking aspects and author feeling when create it.4
An emotion is a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety
of feelings, thoughts, and behavior. Emotions are memorable experiences and ever
present in daily life. Moments when we feel love, affection, fear, anger, or sadness
may be remembered for years. These moments influence our thinking, guide our
behavior, and confuse us.5
Emotions have been studied from three points of view, namely conscious
awareness, physiology, and emotional expression. Conscious awareness is the
introspective study of emotional experience, Physiology is general organic responses
in emotion and Emotional expression is genetic study of human response. And for
this analysis, the writer chooses emotional expression, which’s by Robert Plutchik.6
C. Emotion by Robert Plutchik
Robert Plutchik's psycho evolutionary theory of emotion is one of the most
influential classification approaches for general emotional responses. He considered
4 Suwardi Endaswara, Metodologi Penelitian Sastra: Epistimologi, Model, Teori, dan
Aplikasi, (Yogyakarta: MedPress), 2008, p. 96 5 Philip R. Newman and Barbara M. Newman (1983), loc. cit 6 Henry E. Garrett, General Psychology,2nd edition, (New York: American Book Company),
1961, pp. 178-179
8
eight primary emotions, namely anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, anticipation,
acceptance, and joy. Plutchik proposed that these basic emotions are biologically
primitive and have evolved in order to increase the reproductive fitness of the human.
Plutchik argues for the primacy of these emotions by showing each to be the trigger
of behavior with high survival value.
According to this theory, emotions are a set of expressive patterns based on
adaptive behaviors. Emotions have developed into a system of communication that
conveys the inner states of the individual to others.
Robert Plutchik was professor emeritus at the Albert Einstein College of
Medicine and adjunct professor at the University of South Florida. He received his
Ph.D. from Columbia University and also a psychologist. He has authored and
coauthored more than 260 articles, 45 chapters and eight books and has edited seven
books. His research interests include the study of emotions, the study of suicide and
violence, and the study of the psychotherapy process. 7
Although emotional substrates cannot always be discerned in the behavior of
nonhuman animals, many stimuli are experienced by people and animals alike and
result in prototypical behavior followed by, generally, the reestablishment of an
equilibrium state that might not have been achieved without the impulse precipitated
by the inner state. In human experience it is common to use the term “emotion” to
describe the feeling state, but in fact emotion is considerably more complex.
7Robert Plutchik, loc. cit
9
Plutchik‘s three-dimensional circumflex model describes the relations among
emotion concepts, which are analogous to the colors on a color wheel. The cone’s
vertical dimension represents intensity, and the circle represents degrees of similarity
among the emotions. The eight sectors are designed to indicate that there are eight
primary emotion dimensions defined by the theory arranged as four pairs of
opposites. In the exploded model the emotions in the blank spaces are the primary
dyads—emotions that are mixtures of two of the primary emotions.
D. The Types of Emotion
There are many types of emotions. Plutchik developed a remarkable many
types emotion list that could be described by English words. In this research, the
writer will consider in positive and negative emotions.
Positive Emotions, namely:
1. Excitement
Excitement is an intense state of interest. It can be stimulated by novelty,
by change, by unpredicted events, or by the anticipation of some event.
Excitement is the emotion that accompanies exploration, adventurousness, and
10
risk taking. It helps focus attention and seems to strengthen or sustain problem
solving efforts. 8
The expression of excitement in humans can be seen in the behavior of
fans at a college football game. A long pass or a touch-down is a critical stimulus.
People shout, jump up and down, and wave arms, banners and scarves. At some
colleges, the fans look on more serenely than others.
2. Surprise
The expression of surprise is widely recognizable across cultures. A lifted
brow; wide, rounded eyes; and an open, oval mouth give the face an exaggerated,
rounded look. Surprise differs from interest in that it is a sudden, short-lived
emotion. We do not remain surprised for long. In the moment of surprise there is
a sharp jolt that can be experienced as a gasp, sudden muscle tightening, or knee
buckling.
According to Pluthick, surprise described as the emotional dimension
associated with orientation. The orienting response takes place while the organism
is examining something new or strange. The emotion of surprise can be expressed
as long as the object has not yet been categorized or evaluated. Once the object is
recognized as dangerous or pleasant, the surprise fades. 9

Press , 1983), pp. 341-342
9 Ibid,
11
3. Joy
According to Principles of Psychology book, joy same like surprise, can
not be sought directly. It seems to occur most intensely in moments that are
unplanned or unexpected. Joy may accompany triumph, creative effort, exercise,
a good meal, or a chance meeting with an old friend. The experience of joy is
spontaneous. One may strive for it by engaging in pleasurable experiences and
miss the mark. States of varying intensity related to joy are delight, happiness,
cheerfulness, and serenity. The signals of joy, especially the smile and laughter,
provide a means for communication between infants and their caregivers. 10
In responses to joyous emotion, (for example, by laughter or excited
behavior), efforts are made to prolong or continue the situation, and usually no
effort is made to avoid or end it.11
4. Love
Love is a deep sense of acceptance and commitment to some person,
object, or activity. There are five different kinds of love, including parental love,
love between friends, love a child for his or her parents, patriotism or love of
one’s homeland, and romantic love. 12
10 Ibid, p.343 11 Henry E. Garrett (1961), op. cit, p. 187 12 Philip R. Newman and Barbara M. Newman, (1983),op. cit. p. 345
12
People bring out expressions of affectionate behavior in young children.
Childish affection is exhibited in hugging, kissing, or patting; later such overt
responses tend to be replaced by verbal expressions of endearment.13
Negative Emotions, namely:
1. Fear
Fear comes from terror and panic to distraction and uncertainty. These
emotions are produced by threat. The treat may be real such as that produced by a
violent storm. A person may become frightened by a shadow passing in front of
the window. One internal may frighten oneself by fantasizing that a war might
start. And finally, the threat may be the loss of a source of comfort or support
rather than the presence of a danger.14
2. Disgust
The emotion of disgust is similar to the experience of spoiled food.
Anything that is foul, rotten, or dirty stimulates a sense of disgust. The experience
may include a shudder, nausea, a desire to spit or vomit, or a verbal “uch” or
gagging sound. One common response to a disgusting act is to turn one’s face
away.
Disgust includes loathing and revulsion at the high level of intensity and
dislike or boredom at the low level. The function of disgust is to signal
contamination. A state of disgust can be stimulated by an idea or a personality
13 Henry E. Garrett (1961), op. Cit, p.187 14 Philip R. Newman and Barbara M. Newman, (1983),op. cit. p. 344
13
trait. One can even feel disgusted by one’s own thoughts or actions. When
feelings of disgust are joined by feelings of anger, the outcome can be a very
hateful rejection.15
3. Anger
Anger is an emotion that is accompanied by high tension level. Muscles
tighten, the face feels hot, and there is a rising feeling of energy and an impulse
toward action. The angrier the person becomes, the harder it is to restrain a desire
for some kind of physical action.16
4. Sadness
Sadness is an emotion associated with a sense of loss. Among other
features, the expression of sadness involves arched eyebrows, slanted eyes, a
drawn mouth, and a raised lower lip. In some instances, sadness is accompanied
by sobbing, moaning, or crying. Feelings of sadness can vary in intensity. Some
different states of sadness include grief, dejection, depression, or pensiveness.
Feeling sad is associated with loss, failure, loneliness, hurt, disappointment, and
illness.
Sometimes sadness is a reaction to an external event, especially loss. The
loss may be a person, an object, an opportunity, or an ideal. At other times,
15 Ibid, p.345 16 Ibid, pp.345-346
14
sadness accompanies specific imagery or memories. Sadness or “feeling down”
can also be a result of hormonal changes, certain illness, or a symptom of some
drugs. In last case, the feelings of sadness can be increased by emphasizing
aspects of the environment that might have a sad meaning. The feelings can be
minimized by attributing them to their physiological origins.17
5. Guilt
Guilt produces a gnawing feeling in the stomach and a tight throat.
Someone who feels guilt hangs their head and avoids eye contact with others.
Guilt can be an enduring uneasy emotion in which one continues to feel that one
has wronged another. Guilt is usually prompted by a feeling of wrongdoing. It is
evoked when the person believes that he or she was responsible for the
transgression. The specific content of the wrong can vary widely across cultures
and among individuals. A person may feel guilt about violating a cultural norm,
about failing to live up to an ideal, or about having certain thoughts.18
E. Character and Characterization
Someone who appears in a work is called a character. Character is the fact of
the story. This element will function as imaginative action note in the story. There
are several authors in books tell about character definitions, namely:
17 Ibid, pp. 342-343 18 Ibid, p.345
15
1. According to X. J. Kennedy, A Character, then, is presumably an imagined person
who inhabits a story. Characters may seem flat and round, depending on whether
a writer sketches or sculptures them. A flat character usually has only one
outstanding trait or feature and tends to stay the same throughout a story, and
Round character, however, present us with more facets—that is, either author
portrays them in greater depth and more generous detail and often changes.19
2. Characters can be classified as major and minor, static and dynamic, plat and
round. A major character is an important figure at the center of the story’s action
and sometimes called protagonist. And minor character is often static from the
beginning of a work until the end. 20
3. Dynamic character is one who changes because of what happens in the plot21.
Static characters, however, remain unchanged; their character is the same at the
end of the story as at the beginning.22
4. Character is almost inevitably identified by category—by sex, age, nationality,
occupation, and so on.
For example: his name is Sonny, is simultaneously an African American, a man, a blues musician,
a heroin addict, a younger brother, an ex-convict, and a resident of an inner-city neighborhood. As
result, our interpretation of Sonny is shaped not only by our assumptions about each of these
19 X. J. Kennedy, An Introduction to Fiction, (Boston, Toronto: Little, Brown and Company,
1983), p. 46 20 Robert Di Yanni, LITERATURE: Reading Fiction, Drama, Poetry and Essay, (New York:
Mc. Graw, 2002) 5th edition, p. 1186 21 Plot is the arrangement of incidents in a narrative. The incidents are related by cause and
effect and form a sequence of events with a beginning, middle, and the end. In most story plot structures, the action begins with exposition, continues with raising action, which contains a complication, and moves to a climax, followed by falling action and a resolution.
22 Jane Bachman Gordon and Karen Kuehner, FICTION: The Elements of the Short Story (New York: McGraw-Hill Companies.Inc, 1999), p. 97
16
group helps to make Sonny who he is. Thus story asks us to think about how Sonny’s choice to be
a blues musician relates to the fact that he is African American, about the way inner-city life has
shaped Sonny’s experience of being African American, and so on.23
From all of definitions above, the writer concludes character is someone who
always appears in film, story or drama and has important in role of the plot.
According to the Art of Watching Film book, through action and dialogue,
some films focus on the clear delineation of a single unique character and with plot
can help to develop character. The theme of such films can best be expressed in a
brief description of the central character, with emphasis on the unusual aspects of the
individual’s personality.24
There are major methods to reveal character in, namely:25
1. Narrative summary without judgment. 2. Narrative description with implied or explicit judgment. 3. Surface details of dress and physical appearance. 4. Character’s actions -- what they do. 5. Character’s speech – what they say (and how they say it). 6. Character’s consciousness – what they think and feel.
Character creation is the art of characterization—what the author does to bring
a character to life, to provide the reader or the audience with a sense of that
character’s personality, to make that character unique.26 According to Robert Di
Yanni, Characterization is the means by which writers present and reveal character.
Let’s look at the way James Joyce characterizes Mrs. Mooney, a major character, in
23 J. Paul Hunter, Allison Booth, and Kelly Mays, (2002), op. cit, p. 103-104 24 Joseph M. Boggs and Dennis W. Petrie, The Art of Watching Films, (London: Mayfield
Publishing Company,2000), p. 13-14 25 Robert Di Yanni (2002), op.cit. p.56 26 Ibid.
17
“Boarding House”. “Mrs. Mooney was a butcher’s daughter. She was a woman who
was quite able to keep things to her: a determined woman. She had married her
father’s foreman and opened a butcher’s shop near Spring Gardens.”
These given facts that she was a butcher’s daughter and interpretive comment
that she was a determined woman. From both comment and fact derive an impression
of a strong woman, one who can take care of herself.
Another method for analyzing film characterization utilizes three different
types of pairings: stock characters and stereotypes, static versus developing
characters, and flat versus round characters.27
Stock characters and stereotypes are not essential or even desirable for every
character in a film to have a unique or memorable personality. Stock characters are
minor characters whose actions are completely predictable or typical of their job or
profession (such as a bartender in a western). They are in film simply because the
situation demands their presence. However, stereotypes are characters of somewhat
greater importance to film. They fit into preconceived patterns of behavior common
to or representative of a large number of people.
Static versus developing characters are often useful to determine whether
most important characters in a film. Developing characters are deeply affected by the
action of the plot and undergo some important change in personality, attitude, or
outlook on life as a result of the action of the story. Static characters remain
27 Joseph M. Boggs and Dennis W. Petrie (2000), op. cit 57-59
18
essentially the same throughout the film. The action does not have an important effect
on their lives.
Flat versus round characters. Flat characters are two-dimensional, predictable
characters that lack the complexity and unique qualities associated with psychological
depth. And round characters are individualistic characters who have some degree of
complexity and ambiguity and who cannot easily be categorized.

B. Data Analysis
According to emotion theory by Robert Plutchik, emotions are a set of
expressive patterns based on adaptive behaviors. Emotions have developed into a
system of communication that conveys the inner states of the individual to others. 1
There are nine types of emotion appear in Annie’s emotional, namely: excitement,
surprise, joy, love, fear, disgust, anger, sadness, and guilt. According to Principles of
Psychology book, there are many types emotional in Robert Plutchik theory, but the
writer just takes nine types of emotion that appear in this film.2 The emotions have
appeared and expressed in Annie’s life while she is being a nanny for Grayer in
Upper East Side clan of Manhattan in Mr. and Mrs. X house. Those emotions are
described as follows:
1. Positive and Negative Emotions in Annie Braddock
a. Excitement
Excitement is an intense state of interest. It can be stimulated by
novelty, by change, by unpredicted events, or by the anticipation of some
event. Excitement is the emotion that accompanies exploration,
1 Robert Plutchik, Wikipedia, free encyclopedia, December 16, 2009. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Plutchik 2 Newman, Philip R. and Barbara M. Newman, Principles of Psychology, (Homewood, Illinois: The Dorsey Press , 1983), p. 341-342
31
adventurousness, and risk taking. It helps focus attention and seems to
strengthen or sustain problem solving efforts. 3
She introduces as Annie Braddock, a twenty one years old woman.
She is a New Jersey girl (Annie’s voice: ...a native New Jersey girl
participating in a dreaded rite-of- passage ceremony. Doh!) She is a girl
that really excites when there is a strange place and many people around look
into her, like a ceremony.
On the picture above, the writer sees emotion of excitement in Annie.
She is a girl from New Jersey who always feels strange in the crowded place,
and always feels excitement; she can not control herself in the new place,
different and interesting, novelty/different strange person, and unpredicted
events, like a graduate ceremony in her college. And in this film shows in 3 Ibid,
32
picture 1 and the statements above, when she is walking to the stage in
nervous and then she falling down with the statements Doh!.
b. Surprise
The expression of surprise is widely recognizable across cultures. A
lifted brow; wide, rounded eyes; and an open, oval mouth give the face an
exaggerated, rounded look. Surprise differs from interest in that it is a sudden,
short-lived emotion. We do not remain surprised for long. In the moment of
surprise there is a sharp jolt that can be experienced as a gasp, sudden muscle
tightening, or knee buckling.4 And surprise can categorized as a brief
emotional state that is the result of experiencing an unexpected relevant event.
Picture 2
4 Ibid,
33
While she is being a nanny, she shows surprise on picture 2. Her
eyebrows rise, and become curve and high, rounded eyes and her mouth in
oval. The moment of surprise is sudden and short. It shows while she has a
dating with Harvard Hottie, although they aren’t a couple. In unexpected
situation, while they are going home, (1397(Picture 2, Harvard H: I saw you
in that Betsy Ross getup. (laughs) Annie: That is really kinky and weird)
Harvard Hottie flatters Annie for a kiss. Furthermore, Annie feels and
expresses surprise to know that and then she suddenly runs him after and the
statements when Annie feels surprise is to say “uh-huh”
c. Joy
According to Principles of Psychology book, joy same like surprise,
can not be sought directly. It seems to occur most intensely in moments that
are unplanned or unexpected. Joy may accompany triumph, creative effort,
exercise, a good meal, or a chance meeting with an old friend. The experience
of joy is spontaneous. One may strive for it by engaging in pleasurable
experiences and miss the mark. States of varying intensity related to joy are
delight, happiness, cheerfulness, and serenity. The signals of joy, especially
the smile and laughter, provide a means for communication between infants
and their caregivers. 5
5 Ibid, p.343
34
Picture 3
From the statements and picture 3 above, it shows that Annie finds
answer what job that she wants in her dream. In the film Annie likes a happy
girl with smile, cheerfulness, little surprise, and say “hmm” to show what she
wants to choose for the job. She says before going to sleep that she can to
know what job she must choose for in her dream (Annie: Even so, I fell asleep
confident. That I'd magically find my way.) Her mother presents in her dream
that is calling her (Mother: Annie? Annie! (Wolves howling) Annie?) Annie
can fly with umbrella to see a beautiful city from the top and in a great way
with her umbrella and say the echo “Ahh-hoo-hoo!” in her dream (Annie:
Ahh-hoo-hoo!) Mother says that Annie must go down from the sky (Mother:
Get your feet on the ground, young lady.) And the last, in her dream she smile
and says like this “I know/ yes” to try apply as a nanny for Upper East Side
clan in Manhattan ((Annie: (Sighs) Hmm. (Annie's voice: The fact that I had
no child-care experience. Mattered little to the matriarchs of the Upper East
Side.))
35
Picture 4
Annie shows joy in this film is while her mother has giving Annie a
present (Annie: What is it? Mother: You'll see. Annie: Oh, wow.-Annie: Thank
you. Mother: know it's not much, but I wanted to buy you your first business
suit. Annie: Thanks. Thank you.) Annie says a gratitude to show her
appreciate to her mother about her graduate from university and also for the
present, a formal suit to work, like blazer and skirt. It shows on picture 4, She
shows a charm smile, triumph of her graduate, cheerfulness, creative effort
because she can graduate from university although her mother just a nurse and
her mother feel happy to see her daughter had finished her study from the
university.
36
Picture 5
The last shows about joy is in the picture 5 above, Annie shows joy,
beautiful smile and to be confident, and cheerfulness at the end of the story,
because her mother has allowed her to do what she wants and wanted for her
life to study the Anthropology, because that year there are many scholarships
to study the Antropology (Annie: And once I finally, let myself say it, it was a
habit that was pretty hard to break. It is-- it's going pretty good actually.
There's more scholarships out there than I thought.) And all of mothers
certainly want her daughters and sons to be happy (Mother: It's okay. It's your
life. Personally, I think you're making a big mistake. But it is your life. I want
you to be happy.) So, Annie tries to continue her study in Anthropology and
has found many scholarships in her hand about study the Anthropology which
really her dream.
37
d. Love
The last type of positive emotion in this analysis is Love. Love is a
deep sense of acceptance and commitment to some person, object, or activity.
There are five different kinds of love, including parental love, love between
friends, love a child for his or her parents, patriotism or love of one’s
homeland, and romantic love. 6 People bring out expressions of affectionate
behavior in young children. Childish affection is exhibited in hugging,
kissing, or patting; later such overt responses tend to be replaced by verbal
expressions of endearment.7
Picture 6 Picture 7
- Whoa! - Ahh ahh! Grayer : Hello there. Annie : Hi. Are you okay? Woman: Get off of me, you pervert. Annie : Do you belong to anyone, little man? Mrs. X : Grayer! Grayer : I belong to you.
6 Newman, Philip R. and Barbara M. Newman, (1983),op. cit 345 7 Garrett, Henry E., General Psychology,2nd edition, (New York: American Book Company), 1961, p. 187
38
Mrs. X : Grayer! Oh God. Thank you so much. You just averted a minor disaster. Let me apologize for my feral son.
Annie : Oh, no need to apologize. Please, I love kids. I'm Annie
Beside her intelligence graduated from New York University, she also
has a good personality. (Annie: Oh, no need to apologize. Please, I love kids.
I'm Annie) She is a kind woman. She always try to be a good girl and also to
be a good friend for everyone whose there in her life. In this film she shows
positive emotion of love to a child, and to help and to embrace suddenly from
the accident scooter man has crossing in the park. She helps Grayer from
misfortune who’s nearly hit in the accident, while she is sitting in the park. On
the picture 6 and 7 and statements above; there are clear of Annie that she has
a sociable feel to people.
Annie shows love in this film when she is being a nanny for Grayer in
Mrs. X family. She feels love to Grayer and gets closer to be his nanny when
she wants to make a meal and treats Grayer to do something to be happy like
a play game and then she treats Grayer to be her friend to closer him and be a
good friend (Annie : Hey, you now, we can do lots of fun things. We just have
to be friends and we have to trust each other. Okay? Mmm-hmm. Maybe you
should have a secret name too? You want a secret name?) And Annie speaks
how to call him with nick name/ cryptic name to a friend that really Grayer
wanted and liked, such as dear, cungkring, or cicak. And then in a minute,
39
Grayer says yes that he wants a cryptic name (Grayer: Yeah, I want a secret
name.) Annie becomes happy, because Grayer has accepted her and has
answered her treat. Annie tries to mention a name like “Sponge Bob” (Annie:
Okay. How about Sponge Bob? Grayer says that is bad name if Sponge Bob
((Grayer: No, silly), (Annie: No? All right, what about... what about
Grover?)) Annie mentions another name, Grover ((Grayer: Grover, I love
Grover.) (Annie: You do? All right. Grover it is.)) And at the last Grayer
wanted and liked Grover name if Annie wants to call him and so do Annie.
Picture 8 Picture 9
Annie shows love on the statements and picture 8 and 9 above to
Grayer, she pays much attention to Grayer and tries to closer, because of her
parents seldom takes notice to him and also tries to be a good nanny, too.
40
Picture 10
Grayer tells to Annie that he loves Annie whatever she has done.
Grayer likes Annie as usual as Annie always there for him (Grayer: You know
what, Nanny? I love you best) Annie has thinking first to say that she loves
Grayer too, because if she remembers all of Mrs. X’s rules (Annie: The other
nannies had warned me about this very moment, the moment when you'll be
tempted to break the cardinal rule of nanny Dom. And yet, staring into those
big, sad, searching eyes, I simply couldn't resist. I love you too, Grove…..
Three little words made leaving this job 1,000 times harder.) And another
servant or nanny has ever remembered her to be patient to all of the happen
that there is a young, and pity son wanted more attention from his parent. To
say “yes, that she loves too” is more difficult to her to quit and leave Grayer
alone although Annie still hates all of Mrs. X’s agreements.
On the picture 10 and statements above, Annie feels love to Grayer;
she worries about Grayer’s life. She wants Grayer has not missing attention
from his parents. So, Annie always tries to pleasant Grayer. Love is not
41
always when you have feeling on your sweetheart, but also to parents, friends,
brothers or sisters. And Annie take care Grayer to be his good friend. She
spends all of her time to Grayer and tries to pleasant him with her. She pays
much attention to Grayer to show how she loves him, like to be his good
friend and also to be a good nanny for him although there are many cruel rules
of nanny rules.
Picture 11 Picture 12
On the picture 11, Annie loves her mother, although she lies to her
about the job. Annie tries to be a good daughter, make her happy to find a
good job. (-Annie: Come here. I love you.- Annie’s mother: Let me know the
minute I can visit you.-Annie: I'll call you when I get there, okay?) Before she
goes to work in summer day, she embraces her mother, to show how much
she loves her mother and also her mother to decrease longing.
On the picture 12 above, the writer sees emotion of love in Annie, give
a huge to her friend the expressive behavior to show love in daily life. (Annie:
You know, I love you, but you're harsh. -(laughs)-A little bit. Lynette: Just give
42
me a hug. Mwah! I'll see you soon, I'm sure) Annie and Lynette are a best
friend, their friendship so closer and Annie always share everything to
Lynette, like to be a nanny, just Lynette whose know what jobs that Annie
done now. Annie embraces and says love to Lynette to show that she loves her
although sometimes Lynette has bored her.
Picture 13
Harvard flatters Annie with said that he wants to make a kiss to her
((Harvard H: But I do think you should probably let me kiss you right about
now.)(Annie: What?)) And then Harvard says another statement to misheard
Annie, if we are near at the apartment, we can not meet again (Harvard H:
Well... we're two blocks from your building. And once we get any closer, I
won't be able to go near you. Which, to tell you the truth, is all I've really
thought about since that day. I saw you in that Betsy Ross getup. (Laughs))
Harvard tells the truth that he really surprise since the first meet in lift
machine last day. (Annie: That is really kinky and weird.) Annie just can say
that’s day is really embarrassed her, her pants has slipped by Grayer when in
lift machine to picks Grayer up from school. (Harvard H: You don't know the
43
half of it.) Harvard flatters Annie once again, that he really like in deep hearth
since that day in lift machine while he is escorting Grayer’s stroller.
On the pictures 13 and statements above, Annie shows emotion of love
to Harvard Hottie her sweetheart, a man that she knows live in the same
apartment which Annie work. Actually, Annie just wants to keep Grayer, but
her meeting with Harvard Hottie in apartment and in club, makes their relation
to become closer and both are fall in love. Because of his tease to Annie,
(Annie: Uh-huh. (Feet clomping)(Annie sighs))) Annie runs him after to the
Harvard’s apartment. And Annie makes a kiss with Harvard Hottie to show
that she loves him.
e. Fear
Fear comes from terror and panic to distraction and uncertainty. These
emotions are produced by threat. The treat may be real such as that produced
by a violent storm. A person may become frightened by a shadow passing in
front of the window. One internal may frighten oneself by fantasizing that a
war might start. And finally, the threat may be the loss of a source of comfort
or support rather than the presence of a danger.8
Look on the picture 14 and the statements below. Mrs. X always done
a bad attitude to Annie, and always make Annie in fear. Annie is as object
8 Philip R. Newman and Barbara M. Newman, (1983),op. cit 344
44
anger for Mrs. X to express all about her problems in family. Annie say yes
and told that she has accepted all of Mrs. X has said and done.
Picture 14
Annie shows fear emotion when Mrs. X is suddenly coming to her
room to express anger emotion. Mrs. X was walking quickly to Annie’s room
and tells that underwear is Annie’s own (Mrs. X: Nanny, this is yours, is it
not?) Because of Mrs. X comes with sudden and tells that like to corner her,
so Annie says in fear and panic respond and then says uh… no, with nervous
(Annie: Uh... no, l-- no, I don't know what that is.) Mrs. X tells to Annie that
underwear for lady is in her laundry (Mrs. X: It was in our laundry. It is not
mine, it is not Mr. X's, so it has to be yours, right? Right?) Annie must to say
yes and in correct way to responds Mrs. X question about underwear that she
doesn’t know who have it. (Annie: Yes, it's mine.) Mrs. X is remembering
Annie to not let her underwear in Mrs. X’s house (Mrs. X: Please don't leave
45
your personal items lying around the house again.) Annie must to promise
and tells that she really sorry (Annie: l-- I won't. - I promise. I'm sorry.) Annie
expresses fear with panic respond, “uh…no…uh”, uncertain, and the eyes
looks open wide and to goal Mrs. X wanted (Mrs. X: I don't mean... to be a
control freak. It's-- it's just that when Mr. X is in the middle of a big deal, it
can be very hard on me.) (Annie: I understand.) Mrs. X tells that she doesn’t
want to be angry or do something that will afraid her. She just little can’t
accept what and something that really on her husband company agreement in
business. The writer sees that Mrs. X as wants to exile her husband anger to
Annie.
Picture 15 On the picture 15 and also the statements below, the writer sees fear
emotion in Annie. (Mrs. X: Don't you dare. You stupid-- you stupid girl. As if
you know anything about my life. As if you know anything about the real
world.) Annie tries to safe Grayer from bad attitude of his parent. But his
46
mother, Mrs. X feels that Annie has interfered to her problem. Mrs. X thinks
that Annie wants to know all of Mrs. X family side. Annie’s eyes open wide
and respond to go far away from it because Mrs. X has spoken in high tension
voice and rude, such us stupid, crazy, or fuck of you. Annie feels fear and sad,
because she doesn’t want Grayer will be sad again with his parent’s bad threat
to him. But Mrs. X spoken makes her to quit quickly as soon as possible.
f. Disgust
The emotion of disgust is similar to the experience of spoiled food.
Anything that is foul, rotten, or dirty stimulates a sense of disgust. The
experience may include a shudder, nausea, a desire to spit or vomit, or a
verbal “uch” or gagging sound. One common response to a disgusting act is to
turn one’s face away.
Disgust includes loathing and revulsion at the high level of intensity
and dislike or boredom at the low level. The function of disgust is to signal
contamination. A state of disgust can be stimulated by an idea or a personality
trait. One can even feel disgusted by one’s own thoughts or actions. When
feelings of disgust are joined by feelings of anger, the outcome can be a very
hateful rejection.9
9 Ibid, p.345
47
Picture 16
On picture 16, disgusting emotion shows when Annie is looking into a
refrigerator in Mrs. X house and there are stocks of Tofu. (Annie: Tofu
cutlets? - Ugh. - Help yourself to anything. Yuck.) Annie expresses disgusting
with say “ugh” and wants to foul and vomit something if she has eating food.
g. Anger
Anger is an emotion that is accompanied by high tension level.
Muscles tighten, the face feels hot, and there is a rising feeling of energy and
an impulse toward action. The angrier the person becomes, the harder it is to
restrain a desire for some kind of physical action.10

Picture 17
On the picture 17 above, Annie expresses anger to Hottie’s friends
because all of bad spoken to Annie about her job as a nanny. Annie says that
she has met Harvard from work (Annie: I know him from work.) And
Harvard’s friends answers and responds in arrogant and bad attitude, likes as
give to Annie mockeries about the jobs. (Oh yeah? What kind of work do you
do? Model? - Stewardess? - Escort?) Hottie says that she knows Annie has
working in the same place or same apartment with him. (Harvard H.: She
works for someone in my building.) And then Annie says the truth that she is a
nanny or baby sitter (Men: Oh. Annie: Actually, I'm a nanny). Annie becomes
angry because entire statements Hottie’s friend to her. The nanny is bad and
does not an interesting job to know and also has known a friend like a nanny
is so tickle (A nanny?- Dude! - ( men laugh ) You didn't tell us you knew a
nanny. That is so porno. - Are the moms hot? - Are you hot for the dads? - Are
the dads hot for you?) Harvard Hottie tries to escape those statements of his
friends, but it can’t (-Guy, - Hey, come on.) Annie’s anger emotion becomes
49
high and full, she says all of everything that she doesn’t like about Mr. X
attitude (- You want to know about the dads? I'll tell you about the dads)
Annie says that Mr. X is a man that has a baldhead, big and fat, smoker, like a
big baby and he becomes more frighten and upset to all of nanny that ever
work for him. (They’re chubby, bald, steak-eating, cigar-smoking, type-A pigs
who get more turned on by the Bloomberg Wire than they do by any hot
nannies.) And Annie says that all of Hottie’s friends will be like that in next
years and says that all of they has done now is very good, and says thank to all
of Hottie’s friends (Actually, it's all of you in about five years. So take it from
me, guys: Enjoy tonight, because your future looks pretty fucking bleak)
The writer sees anger emotion on picture above, Anger usually can
express with facial expression. Annie expresses protection to her self from the
insult of Harvard’s friends about her job as a baby sitter, and her face seems
hot. They thinks it so funny and aren’t same level like them to have a friend
such a nanny (a lower class person), she expresses in handful, spoken loudly
and angrily all about “father = her master”. It seems like to refuse all of whom
or what can shame her.
Annie wants to serve Grayer’s foods. She has done a rebellious action,
to break Mrs. X rules. Grayer has told that her mother does not allow him to
eat corn-syrup a jam that has very much fat (Grayer: No, Mommy says they're
full of high-fructose corn syrup.) While Annie wants to serve Grayer’s food, a
50
French food, but the recipes were difficult, and then a food fall down to the
floor. (Annie: Well, what mommy doesn't know won't hurt her, okay, Mr.
Tattletale? Eat it. Go on. Right out of the jar.) Annie tries to keep Grayer
from his noisy, then she gives him a corn jam that really has a fat and says
that his mother statement will not to sick and it is healthy for him.
Picture 18 Picture 19
Picture 20 Picture 21
On picture 18, Annie shows emotion of anger to break the rules of
Mrs. X. Annie gives Grayer cereal food that is really has had much sugar and
very sweet, although Grayer has forbidden Annie to take a bowl of cereal for
him. Grayer says that her mother doesn’t permit him to eat cereal (Grayer:
Mommy doesn't allow me to eat sugar cereal.) Annie gives Grayer a statement
that cereal has not much sugar in it or there isn’t sweet in his cereal, and then
51
Annie orders him to eat soon (Annie: Cheerios are sugar-free. Grover, just
eat it.)
On the picture 6, there is a scene of Annie and Grayer take a train in
subway station, the fact is in Mrs. X rules, there is a term of forbidden to go or
take the subway because of there are much microbes and a dirty place (- Rule
number five: - Annie: Rule number five! --we do not take the subway because
of germs.)
On pictures 20 and 21, Annie has done rebellious action, too. Since
she is being a nanny for Grayer, Mrs. X never permits her to take a rest from
work although that day she has had a day off. (Mrs. X's voice: Perhaps it
might be a nice morning to do something educational with Grayer, like the
Pissarro show at the Guggenheim. Grayer:Mommy said you're supposed to
take me to her favorite museum, the "Guggyheiny.") Mrs. X says to Annie
from her letter to invite Grayer to the Guggenheim, because this morning is
good, to educate Grayer in science that is really Mrs. X’s favorite museum
(Annie: Well, since today was supposed to be my day off, we're gonna go to
my favorite, the Museum of Natural History.) Annie tells to Grayer, because
this day is her rest day, She takes to go to her favorite museum, the Museum
of Natural History (Grayer: Isn't that on the West Side? Annie: - Yeah, so? )
but Grayer asks Annie that is the museum in West Side (Grayer: I'm not
allowed to go on the West Side. That's a rule.) And Grayer says more that if in
52
West Side her mother doesn’t permit him to go, because that is the rules of his
mother (Annie: Well, today just happens to be break-the-rules day.) Annie has
done it again, and she breaks the rules to show anger emotion in her feeling.
Picture 22 Picture 23 On the pictures 22 and 23, the writer sees expression of anger emotion,
too. After she has pressured and a forced to quit from Mrs. X family, her
anger emotion becomes clearly and high. Annie makes a rebellious action and
a confrontation about their bad attitude to their son and also to her. She
expresses to damage Mr. and Mrs. X house, her heart rate becomes high, her
face looks hot and wants to protect herself from all of bad attitude that she has
got since being their nanny.
On picture 22, Annie kicks little desk in front of her to show a
rebellious action to all of bad acceptation that she has accepted after quit out
from Mrs. X family in rude way. And on picture 23, Annie makes loud
sounds and she tries to look physically stronger. It seems fearful to give all
good advices to raise a child and to be a good parent with all of her statements
53
that has recorded in tape. Annie shows emotion of anger to do rebellious way,
and advised Grayer’s parent (Annie: Okay, Mrs. X, now it's time for a few
simple child-care rules. Slamming the door in your kid's face is not okay.) She
says all of the new rules to raise a child. Firstly, it is not good to close a door
in drudge high tension in front of your son or daughter. (Spending more time
on a benefit for kids you've never met than you do with your own blood is not
okay.) She says in all of Mrs. X times schedule as a social woman, a wife and
a mother, but do not forget to Grayer, her little sweet son that is really seldom
to meet. (Going to a spa when your son has a fever of 104 and not answering
emergency calls, that officially makes you an unfit mother.) Annie says that is
not a good mother to go out for her delight, like as go to somewhere places to
beautify her body and face than prefers to do something else to take care of
her son that is really sick.
h. Sadness
Sadness is an emotion associated with a sense of loss. Among other
features, the expression of sadness involves arched eyebrows, slanted eyes, a
drawn mouth, and a raised lower lip. In some instances, sadness is
accompanied by sobbing, moaning, or crying. Feelings of sadness can vary in
intensity. Some different states of sadness include grief, dejection, depression,
or pensiveness. Feeling sad is associated with loss, failure, loneliness, hurt,
disappointment, and illness.
54
Sometimes sadness is a reaction to an external event, especially loss.
The loss may be a person, an object, an opportunity, or an ideal. At other
times, sadness accompanies specific imagery or memories. Sadness or
“feeling down” can also be a result of hormonal changes, certain illness, or a
symptom of some drugs. In last case, the feelings of sadness can be increased
by emphasizing aspects of the environment that might have a sad meaning.
The feelings can be minimized by attributing them to their physiological
origins.11
Picture 24
In this part, the writer sees sadness emotion in Annie. Annie feels sad
when she must go out from Mrs. X family and leaves Grayer alone. She is
really taking notice about Grayer’s life and his happiness. (Annie: Please
don't... Please don't do this. Not... not for me, but for Grayer. Not until you
and your husband work your problems out.) She tries to persuade Mrs. X for
not to quit her early, she stills want to take care of Grayer until Mrs. X’s entire
11 Ibid, p. 342-343
55
family problem has finished. Mrs. X is speaking loudly and rudeness to Annie
and she is becoming so angry and hate to Annie, because of her interference
about Mrs. X family problem. Mrs. X says to Annie that she is an interferer
woman and likes a predictor that really knows all of her life (Mrs. X: Don't
you dare. You stupid. You stupid girl. As if you know anything about my life.
As if you know anything about the real world.) Annie expresses sadness
emotion with cry, a sense of lost Grayer, and moan. Her face looked sorrow,
tears, crying, and helplessness Grayer.
i. Guilt
Guilt produces a gnawing feeling in the stomach and a tight throat.
Someone who feels guilt hangs their head and avoids eye contact with others.
Guilt can be an enduring uneasy emotion in which one continues to feel that
one has wronged another. Guilt is usually prompted by a feeling of
wrongdoing. It is evoked when the person believes that he or she was
responsible for the transgression. The specific content of the wrong can vary
widely across cultures and among individuals. A person may feel guilt about
violating a cultural norm, about failing to live up to an ideal, or about having
certain thoughts.12
12 Ibid, p.345
56
Annie has done a lie about a job that she has got. Lynette, her friend
has ever remembered Annie not to take this job and don’t tell a lie to her
mother about her job as a nanny in Manhattan (Lynette: not to be somebody's
servant. Plus you know you're wrong, or you wouldn't be lying to your
mother.) It is clear to express liar, a wrongdoing Annie to her mother. Annie
stills keep quite about her liar, and she knows about it and feels guilty, as has
done a wrong doing that is a lie.
Picture 25 Picture 26
Picture 27 Picture 28
Annie says to her mother in phone that’s really wonderful and it is her
dream in her life, but the truth is, she really can’t accept it in her deep hearth,
has a work as a nanny (Annie: God, everything is just perfect. I mean, the job is
a dream.) She says, it is a big chance to get this job (A little challenging. So
rewarding though.) ((Mother: How are you, honey? How's the job? How's the
apartment?) (And the apartment is just incredible) (And my roommate could not
57
be nicer.))) She says that her apartment or Mrs. X’s house is very beautiful
place and her friend is so kind and friendly. But the truths are, as the writer
catches four pictures above are: her room is beside washing machine and the
noise always there. (picture 25); her apartment is in narrow place, and there is
just have a little bed (picture 27); out side the window is just a big wall of
apartment and nothing a beautiful views (picture 26); and (on picture 28) her
friend is nothing; there is just her master, Mrs. X and she is not kind but cruel.
Picture 29 Picture 30
The writer sees more guilty emotion, because Annie has known that she
is a nanny. Her mother is really angry to her because all of Annie’s lie to her.
Her mother says that she has not ever in her life done and spoken in lie.
(Mother: Why'd you lie to me, Annie? I have never lied to you. Ever) On picture
29 and 30, Annie bows her head and avoids eye contact with her mother,
because of her lie has been known by her mother. (Annie: I know. I just... Oh,
Mom, I couldn't handle it anymore. - I just couldn't handle it.) Annie tries to
58
explain and persuade her mother, why she has taken this job and why she lies to
her mother, but her mother can not accept it. She must call her mother to help
Grayer from sick. It happened because of she can not overcome and becomes
panic to Grayer’s illness. Mother says that Annie is a clever one, and young girl,
what she can not done in her life, what is problem that she can not accepted and
finished by herself, and she says all of her complicated life can accepted and
finished by herself cleverness, just now and then (Mother: What? What couldn't
you handle? You're young, you're smart, and you’re energetic. You got this
incredibly right future ahead of you.)
From all of descriptions above, the writer concludes that Annie Braddock is
dominantly more to show positive emotions than negative. Annie expresses love and
joy more and feels worry or aware to Grayer about his life. She doesn’t want Grayer
to be a gloomy child again. She persuades Grayer to be happy like as persuades him
to go to another place that his mother doesn’t like and eat the food that really never
Grayer has eaten. She tries to close Grayer to be her friend and makes him happy in
day long. She tries to help Grayer by her attention like to be a good friend for her and
tries to solve Mrs. X problem although it makes her like interferer person and makes
her to quit in a bad way. She tries to make Mr. and Mrs. X aware of their son who
really still needs much attention in his life. Although this job is not her wish, she feels
happy and then really knows who she is. Since she is being a nanny for Grayer many
59
emotions have appeared and expressed in her life and there is a chance to know what
characteristic she does.
2. Characteristics of Annie Braddock
Annie’s characteristics that appear in this film are kind, sociable, aware and
smart woman. Annie Braddock is the main character in this film; she has an
important role in developing the story. In the beginning of the story, Annie introduces
herself (Annie voice: Name...Annie Braddock. Age.. 21. Area of interest
anthropology. Describe your work experience as it relates to your intended field, My
God. Where do I begin?”), who is she and what does she look for. Those are clear
enough to know her that she is as a major character in this story.
She introduces as Annie Braddock, a twenty one years old woman. She is a
New Jersey girl (Annie’s voice: ...a native New Jersey girl participating in a dreaded
rite-of-passage ceremony. Doh!) Annie is a round character. Round character is
individualistic character who have some degree of complexity and ambiguity and
who cannot easily be categorized.13
Annie is a smart woman. She can graduated from New York University for
business department (Annie Braddock, high honors in business, minor in
13 Boggs, Joseph M. and Dennis W. Petrie, The Art of Watching Films, (London: Mayfield Publishing Company,2000), p. 57-59
60
anthropology.) although her mother just a nurse (And here's the woman who reared
me pretty much all by herself. She's a nurse. Note the shoes.)
Beside her intelligence graduated from New York University, she also has a
good personality. (Annie: Oh, no need to apologize. Please, I love kids. I'm Annie)
She is a kind woman. She always try to be a good girl and also to be a good friend for
everyone whose there in her life. In this film she shows positive emotion of love to a
child, and to help and to embrace suddenly from the accident scooter man has
crossing in the park. She helps Grayer from misfortune who’s nearly hit in the
accident, while she is sitting in the park. On the picture 6 and 7 and statements above;
there are clear of Annie that she has sociable feel to people.
Annie shows love in this film when she is being a nanny for Grayer in Mrs. X
family. She feels love to Grayer and gets closer to be his nanny when she wants to
make a meal and treats Grayer to do something to be happy like a play game and
then she treats Grayer to be her friend to closer him and be a good friend (Annie :
Hey, you now, we can do lots of fun things. We just have to be friends and we have to
trust each other. Okay? Mmm-hmm. Maybe you should have a secret name too? You
want a secret name?) And Annie speaks how to call him with nick name/ cryptic
name to a friend that really Grayer wanted and liked, such as dear, cungkring, or
cicak. And then in a minute, Grayer says yes that he wants a cryptic name (Grayer:
Yeah, I want a secret name.) Annie becomes happy, because Grayer has accepted her
and has answered her treat. Annie tries to mention a name like “Sponge Bob” (Annie:
61
Okay. How about Sponge Bob? Grayer says that is bad name if Sponge Bob
((Grayer: No, silly), (Annie: No? All right, what about... what about Grover?))
Annie mentions another name, Grover ((Grayer: Grover, I love Grover.) (Annie: You
do? All right. Grover it is.)) And at the last Grayer wanted and liked Grover name if
Annie wants to call him and so do Annie. On those statements Annie is a care person.
She feels what Grayer’s wanted and how to pay attention for him like to be his friend.
Grayer tells to Annie that he loves Annie whatever she has done. Grayer likes
Annie as usual as Annie always there for him (Grayer: You know what, Nanny? I love
you best) Annie has thinking first to say that she loves Grayer too, because if she
remembers all of Mrs. X’s rules (Annie: The other nannies had warned me about this
very moment, the moment when you'll be tempted to break the cardinal rule of nanny
Dom. And yet, staring into those big, sad, searching eyes, I simply couldn't resist. I
love you too, Grove….. Three little words made leaving this job 1,000 times
harder.) And another baby sitter or nanny has ever remembered her to be patient to
all of the happen that there is a young, and pity son wanted more attention from his
parent. To say “yes, that she loves too” is more difficult to her to quit and leave
Grayer alone although Annie still hates all of Mrs. X’s agreements. On those
statements above, Annie is a care person. Although Mrs. X rules makes her want to
break, Annie still thinks about Grayer’s happiness.
Annie is care person. Since she is being a nanny for Grayer, she often appears
love emotion to Grayer. Annie makes Mr. and Mrs. X realize and care to their son
with make an advice in tape recorded that she hopes Mr. and Mrs. X will listen and
62
do what everything good to raise a child. (Okay, Mrs. X, now it's time for a few
simple child-care rules. Slamming the door in your kid's face is not okay. Spending
more time on a benefit for kids you've never met, Than you do with your own blood is
not okay) She says Mr. and Mrs. X do not ever close the door in high tension to
Grayer face and they must to take care Grayer and spend more time to know him.
(Annie: voice: Going to a spa when your son has a fever of 104 and not answering
emergency calls, that officially makes you an unfit mother) Annie says more that is
bad mother to leave his son who is getting sick.
(Mrs. X voice: "Dear Annie… It's been several months since we've spoken.
Even so, the things you said on that tape haunt me every day. And now looking back,
I don't know what to say except thank you... - and I'm sorry." "And I'm sorry. You
were so right. Of all my privileges, Grayer is my greatest. I desperately needed
someone to show me that. You did.) Annie makes awareness to Mrs. X. Since Mrs. X
has listen the recorded tape, Mrs. X feels fear and really doesn’t want Grayer will loss
the attention from her. Mrs. X really aware to take care Grayer in good way and tries
to be a good mother for him. Then, the last Annie knows who is she and what she
wants to do after quit from Mrs. X house. Annie is a grad student and has happily
dating with Harvard Hottie (After a lost summer of being Nanny, I finally got to know
Annie.)
From all description above, the writer concludes Annie as a main character is
a kind, sociable, care and smart. Annie characteristics and emotions become different.
63
It is because of, many positives emotion and good characteristics that she has done
since being a nanny for Grayer although in the first it is hard for her to a nanny. In the
