This study used Diana Baumrind's parenting style theory to identify the parenting style used. The research method used was descriptive, collecting data from dialogue and narratives from film scripts. In collecting the data, several steps were taken in this study: watching films and reading scripts, identifying data, classifying the data, and reducing data taken from films and film scripts. Primary data were taken from the scripts, while secondary data were taken from e-book from websites, journals, and articles. The results of this study are that the parenting style of the father of the main character is authoritarian, the parenting style of the main character is that his child is neglectful, and there are 3 factors that influence the parenting style of the main character, namely socio-economic background, cultural norms, and parents’ childhood experience.
