Insistence is shown through scene analysis and ordinary sequence, while piety is visualized through the analyses of parallel syntagma, scene, autonomous shot, alternate syntagma, and descriptive syntagma.

The analysis of the religious values on Hijrah Cinta movie shows that value to tell at the beginning of the film is about Uje’s attempt that is full of obstacles, so he needs sincerity and insistence to face them. In the middle until the end of the film, it shows about Uje’s attempt to survive on the right path, so he should be full of patience and piety.

A method used to ease the human’s understanding to face a problem, insight in learning has six characters employed to reach the understanding process. The six characters of insight in learning become a method to analyze the understanding achieved by Uje after he repents. The understanding is formed through five insight typical stages, including that: insight depends on the basic ability of human being; insight depends on relevant past times; insight can be repeated easily as it becomes understanding in human’s mind; and processed insight can be used to face another new situation. The understanding gained by Uje on the changing process is having a good life and struggling on Allah’s side.
