Abstract
Character education becomes an important part in teaching and learning process since the ministry of culture and education affairs has included into an obligatory for school to teach it for their students. The problem especially for English teacher, how to teach character to students using English movie. English movie which is used to teach character should match with Indonesian character as stated by the government. In this paper, I suggest to use a movie from Disney which is titled the Last song. The Last song is an adaptation movie from Nicholas Spark Novel which has the same title. The story told about a young girl Ronnie who hates her father at first and transform into love caused by some inspirational events. I think the events in The Last Song, such as care to others, honesty and loving animals is good to enhance student’s characters especially in Indonesian students.
