This research applied descriptive qualitative study and used the movie as the object. The study used the protagonist’s directive utterances as data.

The study showed that 50 directive utterances consisted of 16 data of commanding, 17 data of ordering, 12 data of requesting, and 5 data of suggesting. After analyzing 50 data, it was found that ordering was the most dominant type of Doctor Strange’s directive utterances in the movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
