subtitle collected from Easy A, Frozen, Iron Man 2, Black Swan, The Hunger Games,
The Dark Knight Rises, Crazy Stupid Love, and Pitch Perfect. In particular, it aims to

found in the films and to propose the equivalent Indonesian translation.
The 12 data representatives chosen are classified into four types of speech
acts: direct, indirect, literal, and non-literal. Each of the data is analyzed qualitatively
based on the context, Grice�s maxims of cooperative principle: quantity, quality,
relevance, and manner, and Brown and Levinson�s politeness strategies: positive and
negative. Then, the equivalent translation is proposed with concerning the style of the
