The objectives of this research are to know the kinds of directive
utterances found in the Brave movie as well as the application of the study in
teaching speaking at the tenth grade students of Senior High School. In
conducting the research, the researcher used a descriptive qualitative method. The
data are taken from the dialogues in the movie and they are explained
descriptively. The steps of collecting data are watching the movie, reading the
script, taking the utterance, giving a code for the data and organize the data into
data sheet. To analyze the data the researcher followed some procedure. The
procedure are reducing the data that is not needed, classifying data, analyzing and
interpreting the data based on the theory, as well as presenting the result of
