Abstract :
This research was about the film of John Wick I which aimed to explore the kinds of signs that are expressed and to analyze the meaning of three important elements of signs including icons, indexes, and symbols found in the film. This research was descriptive qualitative method using a semiotic theory who advocated by Peirce as its theoretical framework. The data for this study were collected from the John Wick I film using note taking as its main research instrument. The findings revealed that nine kinds of signs were found in the film including qualisign, sinsign, legisign, icon, index, symbol, rheme, decisign, and argument. The writer purposively selected a number of signs including five icons, there indexes and three symbols. The results of the analysis revealed that the meaning of these three elements of signs could indeed be interpreted using Peirce's semiotic theory, especially the relationship between their object, representamen, and interpretant. The bottles and some glasses in the film, for example, were the icon of beer and beer-drinking habit, blodd is an index of scar and injury, and tall building are a symbol of prosperity of a modern era.
