        abstract = {This research aims at describing how the face threatening disagreement acts are realized by the characters in Ponslodt?s The Spectacular Now, and at identifying the type of responses shown to the face threatening disagreement acts in the movie.
This study applies descriptive qualitative method to analyse the data. Furthermore, the form of the data are utterances spoken by the characters of The Spectacular Now. The context of this research are dialogues of the movie, and the main source of the data is the movie itself. The primary instrument of this research is the researcher herself while the secondary instrument is the data sheet used to help the researcher collect and analyse the data. Trustworthiness of this study is gained through triangulation by the supervisor, other researchers, and by theories.
The result of the research are as follows. First, the characters in the movie realize their face threatening disagreement acts in three ways: 1) using a short direct opposite orientation, 2) employing a sarcastic remark, and 3) asking a short rude question. A short direct opposite orientation comes out as the most dominant one. This is because it is more direct and simple, and it has denotative meaning which reveals the opinion of the speaker immediately. Second, there are three types of responses employed by the characters: 1) accepting the face threatening disagreement act, 2) countering the face threatening disagreement act: a) offensive strategy, and b) defensive strategy, and 3) choosing not to respond. Countering the face threatening disagreement acts is revealed as the most dominant type of response employed. This is influenced mainly by the type of disagreement they encounter. Encountering a face threatening disagreement act, the characters in the movie choose to respond with another face threatening act.}
