The research is conducted to analyze the request expressions employed by the characters in the movie Sydney White. The research explores the types of requests, the politeness strategies to express requests, and the reasons of choosing the politeness strategy. The research uses pragmatics study to analyze the request expressions. The descriptive qualitative research is employed in this research. The data in this research are all of request utterances in the movie Sydney White. There are 17 data which have been analyzed by using Tsui’s classification of requests and Brown and Levinson theory of politeness strategy. The findings of the research are: First, there are five types of request expressions employed by the characters in the movie Sydney White. They are request for action, request for permission, offer, invitation, and proposal. Request for action and request for permission are mostly employed by the speakers. There are seven data that belong to request for action and six data that belong to request for permission. Then, the act of offer is expressed twice by the speakers. Finally, invitation and proposal are each employed once by the speakers to the hearers. Second, there are three politeness strategies employed by the speakers to express requests. The strategies are bald on record, positive politeness, and negative politeness strategy. Positive politeness is mostly chosen by the speakers to express requests. There are 9 data which show that the speakers apply positive politeness in uttering requests. Then, bald on record is employed five times by the speakers to express request. Finally, there are three occurrences of negative politeness strategy used by the speaker in expressing requests. Third, there are several factors which influence the speakers to the choice of the politeness strategy. The choice of bald on record strategy is influenced by the informality of the situation, the time and channel limitation, close relationship and the status of the participants. Positive politeness strategy is chosen by the speaker to express requests because of the good relationship, the aim to minimize the imposition and social distance between the participants. Finally, the choice of negative politeness strategy is influenced by the social distance and no close relationship between the participants. This research is expected to be beneficial for the readers in studying the speech act of requests and the politeness strategy of requests. It is recommended that other researchers conduct other studies about the request expressions employed by the participants having different social status in order to reveal the realization of the use of request speech act and politeness strategy
