INTRODUCTION

Literary work is a picture of human thought that was poured into a media. They are divided into
two kinds; informative literature and imaginative literature. Informative literature tell about facts,
history, explanation, and great life figure, while imaginative literature are fantasy using
connotative language and qualified aesthetic art. Literature includes the writing experimented
result within language form to produce creative images or ideas that involve the readers'
imagination deliberately and creatively (Goodman, 2001). Literature an expression of an author's
expression in the form of written or oral work, based on the author's thoughts, opinions,
experiences, in an imaginative form through language media. Literary works have benefits for
human life because they can entertain, add knowledge and enrich readers' insights.

The main generic of literary work is divided into three kinds, namely poetry/poem, prose,
and drama/movie. Different from poetry and novel that consist of written text, movie is a more
complete mass media because it uses moving pictures and sounds to tell a story. (Hornby, 2005)
explains that movie is a series of moving pictures recorded with the sound that tells a story shown
on television or at the cinema or theater. According to (Sapp, 1986) movie is a motion picture
which is considered as a source of entertainment or as an art form. Movie does not only tell a story
or provide entertainment but also give a unique and interesting artwork due to the ideas that are
poured in the form of live images.

Movie could be used as a form of entertainment, critics, propaganda, political and

advertising tools, and as well as education tools. Educational messages in a movie could be used as
means of learning to inculcate moral values. In general, the most important element in a movie is

moral value. It is one of the aspects that build the elements of the movie which involved the theme,
plot, character, characterization, setting, and point of view.

Moral values deliver a message in the form of advice. According to (Bertens, 2002) moral
values are concerned about one’s actions as a human. Thus, moral values include the
understanding of good and bad of human actions based on the norms applied in a society. The
sense of good and bad in certain things is relative. It means one thing which is considered good by
a person or a nation, is not necessarily the same with other person or other nations. (Keraf, 1991)
morality is acts as a regulator and instructions for humans to believe in order to be categorized as a
good human being and can avoid bad behavior.

Consequently, using movie in the teaching process to the students is a good idea to teach
moral value interestingly. A movie entitled “Bad Genius” for example. This film is perfect for
teaching students moral values about honesty. Bad Genius is a 2017 Thai film produced by Jor
Kwang Film and distributed by GDH 559. This film, directed by Nattawut Pooniriya, tells the
story of a group of schoolchildren who try to manipulate the student admission selection system
for US colleges known as SAT, or in this film it is called STIC. It all started when Lynn entered
her new school which her father thought was able to provide a greater opportunity to study abroad.
Lynn, who is classified as a genius for high school children, half-heartedly accepted his father's
request. But his closeness to the beautiful, friendly, but silly Grace brings more opportunities for
Lynn than simply chasing after the grades she so easily gets. Together with Grace and her rich and
stupid boyfriend, Pat, Lynn runs a system of mass cheating, which many students attend at the
school and make a lot of money for it. On the way to running this 'illicit' business, the three of
them meet with a Bank which is Lynn's toughest 'rival'. Bank and Lynn are like twins of different
sexes and characters. They are both genius children from lower middle class families who are
'trapped' in elite and superior schools, are raised by single parents, and have a sense of
responsibility for family conditions. But Bank and Lynn looked at this cheating business very
differently. Lynn tends to be pragmatic and a side job as a test jockey is a great opportunity. As for
the Bank, he really holds the principle of not cheating. Until then, the four of them together
became a team to carry out the plan to break into the STIC international examination surveillance
security system.

There are many previous researches which is related to moral velues, such as
(Johardianto, Herawati, & Ningsih, 2018) with the title "AN ANALYSIS OF MORAL VALUE IN
47 RONIN FILM". The purpose of this study is to find moral values in the film 47 RONIN.
(Wijayaningdyah & Sutrisno, 2018) with the title " THE MORAL VALUES IN “CHICKEN
RUN” MOVIE", the research objective is to find moral values in films CHICKEN RUN. Etc.

According to the research background, the objectives of this research are (1) To find the
intrinsic elements in Bad Genius movies, (2) The moral values found on this film.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS

Literary work is an aesthetic work produced by the creativity of an author. According to

(Minderop, 2016) literary works are the reflection of feelings and thoughts. It is a medium used by
authors to express thoughts, ideas, and feelings through imagination and creativity. In this context,
the author's imagination arises through what he has seen and felt from real life. The essence of
literary work cannot be separated from the realities that occur in everyday life. Indeed, it is
necessary to learn more about literature because literature helps us to recognize human life and
extend our minds. literary works also make us add knowledge and insight.

visual presentation and facilitates the audience in understanding it. According to (Sapp, 1986)

Education of Suryakancana 2021

movie is a motion picture which is considered as a source of entertainment or as an art form. It

becomes an important form of art to learn various aspects through it. Movie as a work of art is
born of the process of creativity that must have its charm. The result of this creativity comes from
the author's imagination as the product of creativity that might originate from reality. Movie does
not only present the results of the creative process of an author but also provide messages and
motivate the audience to reflect on problems that occurred in society.

an entertainment but also recognized as an art form. Boggs and Petric (2000:3) said that the
tremendous expense involved in producing motion picture reminds us that film is both industry
and art and also employs the compositional elements of the visual art. Message films on mass
communication can be anything depending on the mission of the movie. However, in generally a
movie has a variety of messages, both the message of education, entertainment and information.
The movie is also regarded as a powerful communication medium for the masses to be targeted,
because of its audio visual, the image and sound live. With images and sound, the movie is able to

because it guides people to be a better person. In this paper, moral value is one of the
most important elements of a movie, because it presents good and bad values through the
stories in a movie and contains material to be a lesson that could be implemented in one’s
life.

Types of Moral Value

According to (Linda & Eyre, 1993), moral value is divided into two kinds. They are
explained as the following.

1. Value of Being
The value of being is a value within human beings which are involved in their behavior
and how to treat others. There are some types of value of being, namely:
 Honesty is the suitability between what is delivered or spoken in accordance
with the action. Honesty has a sense of compatible with the facts that exist and
nothing to hide. (Linda & Eyre, 1993) state that honesty is the same as the inner
strength and confidence that is bred by exiting truthfulness, trustworthiness, and
integrity.
 Courage is the ability to confront the problem and take some decisions for the
sake of kindness. According to (Linda & Eyre, 1993), courage is daring to
attempt something difficult that is good and not to follow the crowd, brave to say
no and influence others with it.
 Peace of ability is the capability of facing a problem calmly and patiently. (Linda
& Eyre, 1993) explain that peace of ability is the tendency to try and
accommodate rather than argue. They also define peace of ability as calmness,
peacefulness, and serenity.
 Self-confidence and potential. Self-confidence whows you are sure of your
ability and your talent. According to (Linda & Eyre, 1993), self-confidence is
the individuality, awareness, and development of gifts and uniqueness. They

Iconnects 2021 386

Proceedings International Conference on
Education of Suryakancana 2021

explain that self-confidence is the same as we make decisions with our actions
and give ourselves superiority.
 Self-discipline and moderation. Self-discipline means being able to control and
balance all the activities and actions that will be faced by a person. This inlcudes
self-discipline towards something as well as self-discipline in terms of physical,
mental, and financial (Linda & Eyre, 1993). Meanwhile, moderation is
benevolence that is chose by someone to create and balance something in life.
 Fidelity and chastity. Fidelity is one of the someone’s character which is shown
through faithfulness and support of oneself continuously. According to Orwin
(2000), fidelity is the adherence to an actual treatment determined by someone to
arrange the quality or state of himself to be faithful, while chastity is the virtue
that moderates our sexual desires (Halwani, 2013). Chastity protects oneself
from sexual desire before marriage or abstention from unlawful sexual
intercourse.

2. Value of Giving
Value of giving is a value provided by a person to someone else. This value includes
something which is not visible but valuable. There are some types of value of giving,
namely:
 Loyalty and dependability. Loyalty is the earnestness in implementing and
carrying out something. Loyalty is not only a matter of the action, but also a
matter of how to think, and how to motivate (Keller, 2007). Meanwhile,
dependability is the consistency of performance or behavior (Linda & Eyre,
1993). Dependability is one of a person's inner part. It is usually assessed by
others through the consistent of the actions, attitudes, and behaviors of someone.
It is seen through their support, service, and contribution such as to the family,
neighbor, organization, institution, company, etc.
 Respect is to pay attention to another person's beliefs. Respect becomes a deep
feeling for something or someone because of the abilities, qualities, and
achievements of someone. (Linda & Eyre, 1993) state that there are some types
of respect applied in life: polite and respect to the family, to the neighbor, to
property, to someone who is older than us, to the environment, to nature, to the
rights and religion of others, self-appreciate and avoiding self-distraction.
 Love and Affection. Love is a deep feeling felt by individual and it has a
meaning. It is difficult to describe and express by words, it is poured in the form
of attention and action. (Linda & Eyre, 1993) state that love is the deepest
expression of longing and feeling whereas affection is defined as one of the
human instincts. It could be defined as feelings of dear to someone.
 Unselfishness and sensitivity. Unselfishness is the same as helping others when
he/she gets into trouble (Sinha, 1984). Unselfishness is one of the primary
virtues which done by someone to another. It is the way a person is more
concerned about others than his or herself. Sensitivity is defined as becoming
more extra-focused and not self-selfish (Linda & Eyre, 1993). Sensitivity means
trying to learn people's feelings where sense of sensitivity and empathy to a
person's problem leads to starting to help that person from the beginning. This
feeling appears because of the sense of brotherhood that makes someone have
more empathy and tolerance for others.
 Kindness and Friendliness. Kindness is a form of caring for something, rather
than categorizing it (Salzberg, 2011). Kindness is the human's strength that
influenced well-being, whereas friendliness is something that could determine
the kindness (Linda & Eyre, 1993). Friendliness refers to the attitude that
preferrs to understand rather than confront it. It is also related to a smile and a
warm greeting.
 Justice and mercy. According to (Linda & Eyre, 1993), justice is the adherence
to fairness, law, play, and work. Meanwhile, mercy is a statement of kindness or

pity that gives relief to unfortunate people. Justice is the key concerned for
people in an organisation.

Grace. Although Lynn did it voluntarily, but here Lynn and Grace did the exam
questions dishonestly. In this film, their cheating gives the understanding that a small lie
starting from oneself will definitely harm in the future for him as well as for others.
Therefore, doing something must be honest, supervised or not in order to be trusted by
others. Their actions are mistakes, therefore this film conveys an implicit moral message.
2. Scene 00:29:57 - 00:30:38, Tong asks the bank for a cheat sheet and will pay for it worth
1.2 million. But the Bank only showed an astonished expression and left Tong instead.

give. And again, the honesty of the Bank was put forward by Lynn.
3. Scene minute 00:32:23 - 00:34:11, Bank informs Lynn by writing on paper when she will
collect her exam answer sheets. Then he dropped it beside Lynn's bench. The paper reads,

not cover up her mistakes.

set a good example?”
Lynn: “I won't lie. I did a lot of bad things in the past. But I will use it to teach
myself and others.”
Interviewer: “What a waste. You've accomplished a lot. You can register for
scholarships and study abroad. Are you not interested in that?”
Lynn: “I think others are more appropriate.”

achievements and intelligence, but he was very brave enough to admit all his
badness.

moral value. It is one of the aspects that build the elements of the movie which involved the theme,

Moral values deliver a message in the form of advice. According to (Bertens, 2002) moral

sense of good and bad in certain things is relative. It means one thing which is considered good by
a person or a nation, is not necessarily the same with other person or other nations. (Keraf, 1991)
morality is acts as a regulator and instructions for humans to believe in order to be categorized as a
good human being and can avoid bad behavior.
