Still I'm a sucker for a good scott accent🤷🏽
Discussion
Have you seen Sweet Sixteen by Ken Loach? I'd be amazed if someone in the US would manage to understand 10% of the dialogue lol
I avve not boyo but eet haaz meh intreast!
Tbf even the releases in England had subtitles for this lolol
That's what I'm saying yo
Whether or not we as Americans don't understand is irrelevant. We get the same DVDs.
If the queen can't understand it it's subtitled for us over here. But if she was like "oh pop pop thas just Ricky bein a knob" then no subtitles
And the subtitles translate into American English? I need to see this lol
Ok let's find a movie and I'll screen shot for you
What's a movie with a good mix of accents?
Hostel
Naked. Not sure it has a good mixture or mixture of accents tho. Can barely remember. Um, what about something like those Kidulthood films? Not really a fan but would be curious what London slang translated as into American
not recommending Kidulthood, but would be interested in seeing the translation into american
Ok so I started doing a cookout McGregor one then I switched to kidulthood
Connor only had subtitles to emphasize stuff
Kidulthood no subs 🤷🏽
I did turn on subs so you can see but it was pretty 1 for 1

Lol multiple videos play all their audio at the same time. Amazing sound collage tbh lolol
KES! 😂
It is funny tho, obviously as US is the dominant culture, a lot of British people will understand something say The Wire. But it's not really a two way street. Not saying this is a problem lol. Just the way it is lol. But it is ostensibly the same language lol. It's just obvious but still funny.
It's in no way a two way street.
I find myself constantly like "wow! _____ did a great event in _____" and everyone over here is like oh yeah! So good! Then a British person is like "uh what do you mean that sucked"
Like all British people do shitty American accents (picking Boston or Texas usually) but everyone, even Americans are like wow! So believable! But we Americans try any accent not our own and people are like BOO YOU SUCK
