Key words: Politeness Strategies, Movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
One of significant parts of human communication is politeness. Politeness is very valuable for entire people in the world because politeness can lead us to have certain attitude with others. Good interaction can be created by using communicative language. People should know the appropriateness of variety of language use. If a speaker says something that represents a threat to another individual’s expectations regarding self-image, it is described as a face threatening acts. Furthermore, Brown and Levinson (1987) suggest politeness as a compensation action taken to counter-balance the disruptive effect of face-threatening acts (FTAs). Politeness strategies also have various kinds. They are bald on record, off record indirect, positive politeness and negative politeness.
This research has two objectives such as: (i) To find out bald on record and off record strategies in movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. (ii) To find out negative and positive politeness in movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
Pragmatics analysis and descriptive qualitative are applied to this research design in order to support the objectives. Moreover, politeness strategies are the data. While, transcript text in movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island is used as data source. This analysis research applied Brown and Levisohn’s theory.
According to data finding and analysis, there were 295 utterances delivered by the characters that employ politeness strategies found in movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. They are 65 utterances of bald on record, 20 utterances of off record indirect strategy, 146 utterance of positive politeness and 64 utterances of negative politeness. The result showed that the characters of movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island is categorized as polite people because they use positive politeness more which present close relationship between them.
Based on the result above, I suggest the English lecturer should emphasize pragmatic materials especially politeness as the valuable lecture not only in theoretical but also in practical meaning. Moreover, I encourage the students to differ the way to deliver their wants appropriately through applying politeness. For the readers, it is so important to be polite person because through being polite the hearer will feel comfortable with our behaviors and utterance, so it can create an effective communication between the speaker and the hearer.

Kata kunci: Strategi Kesopanan, Film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
Salah satu bagian terpenting dalam komunikasi manusia adalah kesopanan. Kesopanan sangat berharga bagi semua orang di dunia karena hal itu akan mengarahkan kita untuk bersikap terhadap orang lain. Interaksi yang baik dapat diciptakan dengan menggunakan bahasa yang komunikatif. Orang harus mengetahui kesesuaian berbagai penggunaan bahasa. Jika pembicara mengatakan sesuatu yang merupakan ancaman bagi harapan individu lain mengenai citra diri, hal ini digambarkan sebagai tindak ancaman wajah. Selanjutnya, Brown dan Levinson (1987) menunjukkan kesopanan sebagai tindakan kompensasi diambil untuk menyeimbangkan efek mengganggu tindak ancaman wajah (FTA). Strategi kesopanan memiliki beberapa jenis yaitu strategi tercatat, strategi tidak tercatat, kesopanan positif dan kesopanan negatif.
Penelitian ini bertujuan; Untuk menemukan strategi tercatat dan tidak tercatat, dan untuk mengetahui strategi kesopanan positif dan negatif dalam film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island .
Analisis pragmatik dan kualitatif deskriptif diterapkan dalam rancangan penelitian yang mana membantu tujuan penelitian. Lebih jauh lagi, strategi kesopanan digunakan sebagai data . Sementara, transkrip dalam film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island digunakan sebagai sumber data. Penelitian kali ini menerapkan teori yang diciptakan Brown dan Levison.
Sesuai hasil dan analisis data, ada 295 tuturan yang disampaikan oleh karakter yang menggunakan strategi kesopanan ditemukan dalam film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island . ada 65 tuturan tercatat , 20 tuturan tidak tercatat , 146 tuturan kesopanan positif dan 64 tuturan kesopanan negatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakter dalam film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island merupakan orang sopan karena mereka menggunakan kesopanan positif yang menunjukkan kedekatan hubungan mereka.
Berdasarkan hasil di atas, saya menyarankan dosen untuk menekankan strategi kesopanan tidak hanya dalam teori tetapi juga mempraktekannya. Selain itu, saya memotivasi siswa untuk menyampaikan keinginan mereka dengan tepat melalui penerapan kesopanan . Sedangkan untuk para pembaca, sangat penting untuk menjadi orang yang sopan karena melalui bersikap sopan pendengar akan merasa nyaman dengan perilaku dan ucapan kita.
