Movie is a medium that disseminates moving pictures, that is the series of images projected on a screen in order to create the illusion deception motion of
the living. Movie is one of important part of human life because nowadays, movie becomes one of sources of entertainment, education, and knowledge. As the
popular entertainment, it can make people dissolving themselves in a world of imagination for a certain time and the one important parts of movie is
communication that means dialogue. Sir John Pollock 1958 assumed: a play as a work of art composed of work spoken or motion performed by
imagined characters and having a subject, action, development, climax and conclusion Budianta, 2002: 96
Languages are more than systems of thought transference. They are invisible garments that drape themselves about our spirit and give a predetermined form to
all its symbolic expression. When the expression is of unusual significance, it called literature. Sapir, 1921: 221
Literature is one of studies that are influential to human’s life. Literature is one way or human beings to express their feeling, thoughts, experiences,
emotions, expectations, and faith. Literature doesn’t have limitation on how you should do it; although many people think that literature must be expressed
through standard literary work e.g. prose or poetry.
Figurative Language is one type of literary work, which puts an emphasis on connotation rather than denotation meaning. Generally, figurative language is
language that uses words or expressions with a different meaning. It is deeper than a literal interpretation.
Figurative language uses figure of speech to say something other than the literal meaning of the words. It is interesting study
because the writer is going to analyze language that used in form of communication for instance daily conversation, literary book such as novel,
poetry, newspaper, article, magazine etc. and audiovisual like movie. Since there are many figurative languages in the movie that commonly have
the different sense than the literal meaning, the writer is interested in analyzing and classifying the communication that used in a movie into the kinds of
figurative language itself. One of movies that contain figurative language
is The Fault In Our Star directed by Josh Boon, which was adopted from a novel by
John Green, base on true story is a brilliant story about love, life, and loss. John
Green intriguingly tells the story of a young girl faced with the tragedy of cancer who meets someone who changes her life. This movie, which based on the novel
explores the universal themes of life and death and employs clever use of literary devices and literature references that only adds to its raw essence.
