<![CDATA[This study aims to identify positive politeness strategies used by Henk Rogers as the Tetris movie's main character. The analysis is conducted on Henk's dialogues that contain positive politeness strategies according to Brown and Levinson's theory. This research uses the descriptive qualitative method to analyze the data, while data collection is done through observation. The results found 48 data of positive politeness strategies used by Henk. Of the 15 existing strategies, 13 strategies appeared in Henk's dialogues. The most dominant strategies are Notice, attending to Hearer and Assert or Presuppose Speaker's Knowledge of and Concern for Hearer's Wants, each appearing in seven dialogues. The factors that influence the use of these strategies include power (P) differences, social distance (D), and rank of imposition (R). When dealing with higher-position interlocutors, Henk used more diplomatic and respectful language, especially when meeting for the first time. However, if the relationship is already closer, his language style becomes more casual and informal. Through the analysis, readers can understand how positive politeness strategies are used in business communication, whether in a company, government environment or when interacting with new people.
