Language serves as a vital tool for human communication, allowing individuals to express thoughts, emotions, and information. As a symbolic system, language only facilitates inteaction but also reflects social identity and cultural meaning. This study examines the language styles of the main character in All the Bright Places movie, using Martin Joos’s theory, which categories language styles into five types: frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate. Addopting a descriptive qualitative approarch, this research aims to identify and analyze the language styles used by the main character in their dialogues. The findings reveal that the most frequently used language style is casual style with 30 instaces (64%), followed by consultative style with 13 instances (28%), intimate style with 3 instances (6%), and formal style with 1 instance (2%). Notably, frozen style does not appear in the movie’s dialogues. These results illustrate how the main character’s language reflects various social interactions and contexts, with casual and consultative styles dominating the exchanges. This study contribures to understanding the sociolinguistic aspects of language in film, highlighting how dialogue can convey relational dynamics and emotional depth.
