Abstract

This study examines the role of multilingualism in the film "Rush Hour 3" and its impact on narrative structure, character development, audience reception, and cultural representation. Utilizing Stuart Hall's Cultural Representation Theory (1997) and Audience Reception Theory (1980), this research explores how the integration of English, Japanese, French, and Chinese languages contribute to the film's storytelling and audience engagement. The analysis aims to understand how linguistic diversity within the film enhances cultural representation and fosters cross-cultural understanding. Mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The qualitative component involved a detailed textual analysis of "Rush Hour 3" to assess how multilingual elements enrich the narrative and character arcs. The quantitative component analyzed empirical data from YouTube reactions and comments to gauge audience responses to the film's multilingualism. This dual approach provided a comprehensive understanding of the impact of multilingualism on both the film’s content and its reception. Findings reveal that multilingualism in "Rush Hour 3" significantly enhances narrative authenticity and character depth, making the story more engaging and relatable. Audience reactions indicated a positive reception, with many viewers appreciating the cultural diversity and humorous elements derived from language barriers. However, some criticisms regarding stereotypes and negative cultural perceptions were noted. Overall, the study concludes that multilingualism in film can enrich narrative complexity, foster cross-cultural understanding, and enhance audience engagement, while also highlighting the need for mindful representation to avoid reinforcing stereotypes.
