Based on the result of the analysis, all the types of speech acts, representative, directive, commissive, and expressive, except declarations speech acts are found in the movie which is performed by the movie characters. In analyzing speech acts data, context is very important in determining the certainty that the data is correct. The findings of this research is showed that Directive speech acts in the most dominant type especially about commanding utterance, with 42 cases out of total 98 cases.
