ABSTRACT
Politeness is an interesting topic in the social study of languages to be
researched. People can find politeness in real social life easily. When they interact
with other, there is politeness inside. Politeness is the basic to the production of social
order and a precondition of human cooperation (Brown & Levinson: 1987).
Politeness can be described in someone’s behavior.
Politeness also can be found in the movie. In the movie, actors have dialogue
that showing politeness. The researcher chooses the movie entitle “The Grand
Budapest Hotel” to analyze the politeness strategies which are showed by Monsieur
Gustave as the main character and why he used the strategies. The researcher makes
Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory as main framework in processing the paper.
The data are taken from its film’s script as the data by noting, choosing, and
classifying the utterance into appropriate strategies. Finally, by using Brown and
Levinson’s politeness theory and the methods the researcher used, the researcher
found that Gustave H used all of politeness strategies but not all of sub-strategy for
each politeness strategies he used. The researcher also found the reason why does
Gustave H use those politeness strategies. Therefore, the researcher has finished this
study entitle MAIN CHARACTER’S POLITENESS STRATEGIES IN THE MOVIE
