anti-racist protagonist characters in the <i>BlacKkKlansman</i> movie that

employ politeness strategies on racial justice and observe the influence of

movie staging on the use of politeness strategies. This research builds on the

integration of analytical models introduced by Spradley in Santosa. Using a

descriptive qualitative research design, the analysis followed four main

stages: domain, taxonomy, componential, and cultural theme analysis. These

stages were combined with pragmatics and sociolinguistic approaches to provide

a comprehensive framework for the study. This research enhances the

understanding of how politeness strategies are used in movies and their impact

on social interactions. The results of this research showed a total of 180

politeness strategies uttered by Ron and Flip as two anti-racist protagonist

characters. Ron performed many positive politeness strategies compared to the

other three sub-strategies: positive politeness (80 utterances), followed by

off-record (23 utterances), bald-on-record (24 utterances), and negative

politeness (18 utterances). Similar to Ron, Flip used positive politeness the

most (24 utterances), followed by negative politeness (5 utterances),

bald-on-record (4 utterances), and off-record (2 utterances). The use of

politeness strategies by the two anti-racist characters tended to fluctuate

depending on the stages of the movie. The complication stage generated the most

utterances due to the intense interactions between the anti-racist protagonists

and the Ku Klux Klan members as they delved deeper into the investigation. The

findings can contribute to the broader discourse on racial justice and

communication, as well as highlight how movie staging influences the use of

these strategies by anti-racist protagonists.</span></a><span lang="EN-US"><o></o></span></p><p>
