People express their views, emotions, and sentiments with one another through language. To do this, people must understand the underlying meaning of the dialogue. If individuals in a conversation or communication are unable to grasp the implied meaning, there will be misunderstanding (Yule, 2020). Language is very important in communication. According to Leech (1983), language begins to alter in accordance with its purpose and use. The same holds true for people who speak rudely. If the speaker and the interlocutor are unable to hold polite talks in social situations, their communication may be suffered. To understand more about language, speech act holds a crucial role for it. According to Levinson (1983), speech act is the study of intended meaning in utterances spoken and written is known as speech acts. Furthermore, the most crucial components of a speech act are the message of the speaker's intention, in order for the hearer understands a message from the speaker. One of the examples of common media communication that everyone need is movie. As stated by Flick (2014), movie has situation for social interaction and communication.

Literature Review According to (Searle & Vanderveken, 1985), commissive speech act is an act that used to forcing or suggesting to perform a task that is specified in the intended message and must include conditions that must be met in order for the action to be carried out or not. If someone expresses a desire to carry out action and the conviction that their statement binds them to perform it, at the situations stated or widely acknowledged to be relevant, they are committing themselves to carry out what is mentioned. A. Refusal According to Searle and Vanderveken (1985), refuse an invitations, requests, offers, and recommendations is a harsh act. The speaker has a purpose or point of view. The speaker therefore disagrees with the interlocutor's opinion. Most of the refusal are offensive for the speaker. Example: “We will not do that” (Yule, 1996) Find someone else (Juniartha et al., 2020) IDEAS, Vol. 11, No. 2, December 2023 ISSN 2338-4778 (Print) ISSN 2548-4192 (Online) 1147 Many people complained, it's our homework, and with Prabowo-Sandi God willing we enforce the law, we ensure there is no corruption anymore, we make sure a glory in Indonesia (Husain et al., 2020) B. OfferAccording to Searle and Vanderveken (1985), offer is a way to let someone know you're willing to help them out or provide them with anything. The speaker tries to approach the other person with an offer. Example: “It will be different if shopper use Tecstar, this blender” (Syafitri, 2019) Will you do it, Marta? (Devi & Degaf, 2021) C. Promise According to Searle and Vanderveken (1985), promise is an act that you will or will not do something to another person. This kind of verbal act to do something in the future is established between two people. The speaker makes an effort to follow through on what they say. The aim of the expression is to convince the audience that the speaker is sincere in what they want. Example: “And then I will give what is needed for Slamet and Busono’s future” (Azizah & Suhardi, 2020) “I am running for reelection to bring back the tremendous prosperity that we enjoyed before the plague came in, and it’s happening very fast” (Gea & Johan, 2020) “We shall turn it back into its former state” (Istiqomah & Ibrohim, 2020) D. Accept According to (Searle & Vanderveken, 1985), accept commissive responses to a limited percentage of very specific directions, and whose propositional content is specified by the speech act to which it is a response. Example: “Oh yeah! We don’t have any plans.” (Desica & Ambalegin, 2021) “Okay” (Sihotang & Ambalegin, 2022) E. Assure According to Searle & Vanderveken (1985) an act in a form of utterance or words that is conveyed by the speaker to the listener with the intention of making the situation conducive and has the intention of providing understanding. Example: Ronaldo Samosir1; Afriana2 Commissive Speech Act in Movie “Army of the Dead” 2021 1148 And you'll find they're really comfortable (Kumalasari, 2019) F. Guarantee According to (Searle & Vanderveken, 1985), guarantee is a speech that the speaker must do a responsibility for perform the act that delivered. Example: I guarantee that the Gerindra party will fight corruption. If there is a member of Gerindra who are corrupt, I will put him in prison by myself (Husain et al., 2020) I guarantee, one more time, I guarantee that I will remove them (Firdaus et al., 2020) Method The researchers analyzed the types of commissive speech act in Thor: Love and Thunder 2022 movie.
