Abstract

This study analyzes how Sigmund Freud's concepts of id, ego, and superego shape the personalities and actions of the characters in Jean-François Pouliot's 2015 movie, Snowtime! Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, the study explores the movie's narrative and dialogue, supported by secondary data from online sources. The primary focus is on the character of Luke, whose obsession with winning a massive snowball battle reflects the struggle between his primitive id and his developing superego, a conflict mediated by his ego. The study aims to demonstrate how this psychoanalytic framework not only shapes Luke's character arc transforming him from an impulsive child to a more morally conscious individual after he faces the consequences of his actions but also enriches our understanding of character complexity and the continued relevance of Freudian theory in film analysis. The study aims to demonstrate how this psychoanalytic framework not only shapes Luke's character arc, transforming him from an impulsive child to a more morally conscious individual after he faces the consequences of his actions, but also enriches our understanding of character complexity and the continued relevance of Freudian theory in film analysis. Furthermore, the study examines how the other characters, such as the strategic Sophie and the more passive Frankie, also embody elements of this psychoanalytic model, creating a dynamic and believable portrayal of childhood conflicts and moral development.
