me: speaks with the accent i was raised with this guy: very good but....
-
This poor guy can’t watch movies cause his ears know too much
-
“Brad Pitt, Inglorious Bastards” Me: “BUONGEARRRNOO!”
-
Just wanted to say that as a 15-year-old, this video completely blew my mind, and largely because of Erik Singer's videos, I became really interested in linguistics and am now pursuing a degree in TESOL. This video was kind of the start of it all :)
-
"Who the fuck let this happen" lost all of my shit at that moment😂😂
-
You know I thought this guy was gonna be super pretentious but he just very knowledgeable and gracious with his criticism.
-
Phillip Seymour Hoffman, has a near perfect interpretation of Capote. One of the greatest actors ever.
-
Brad Pitt isn't doing a Belfast accent in Snatch, he's doing an Irish Traveller accent. This guy should really know the difference!
-
As a Brit I didn't realise that Kevin Costner was even attempting an English accent. I thought they just let him stick with his American accent for whatever reason lmao.
-
This guy impresses me so much, that he was able to imitate nearly every accent on screen in seconds, it is so neat...
-
Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Capote is just amazing. You can't even say anything else because he nails it so perfectly.
-
Pitt: That ain't Belfast. That's Irish Traveller, and he's pretty close (in places)
-
The world needs a part 2 of this video. It is just so amazing, I wanna marry it.
-
"you can also hear it in a couple of high altitude fucks"
-
There's a reason why Daniel Day-Lewis got 6 nomination of Academy Awards for Best Actor and won 3 of them.
-
Brad Pitt isn't doing a Belfast accent in Snatch. He's doing a traveller accent.
-
Tommy Wiseau perfectly nailed alien accent.
-
Breakfast at Tiffany's: "Who the f*ck let this happen?" That was a beautiful examination of the accent.
-
The difference between Kate Winslet (a very good actress) and Meryl Streep's jaw placement...something I'd never noticed...blew me away when pointed out.
