Keyword: Idiom, Movie INTRODUCTION As social beings, humans are not be able to live their life without socialize with others, thus they have to do an activity which is called “communication”. The term communication can be defined as how the humans interact to others. Language is needed when the humans doing communication. According to Genetti (2014), language is medium which is used by people in their society to interact to each other. This definition implies that language is important in human life. Humans use language in various purposes in their life, whether it is for entertaining, giving information, giving command, or something else. In using language, sometimes humans choose words or phrases which do not have literal meaning, these words or phrases are called idioms. According to Newmark (1988) & Larson (1984) cited in Howwar (2013), idioms can never be translated literally and the translation should be avoided. Fromkin, Rodman, & Hyams (2011) state that idiom is an expression which means it is not related to the principle of composition, which may not be connected with the meaning of its parts. In line with those statements, O’Dell & McCarthy (2010:6) also state that idiom is a combination of several words and the meaning cannot be translated word by word. They also divide idiom into some types, which are: similes, binomial, proverbs, euphemisms, clichés and fixed statements, and other languages. Similes are idioms which are used in comparing two things. Since they are used to compare two things, they include words as or like. Similes have to be used in whole phrase, it means that their individual words cannot be changed or their meaning will change. Binomials are combination between two words in which they are linked by using conjunction, and their order is fixed. The words can be synonyms, opposites, the same words, rhyming, and alliterative.
