    People seem surprised by how good Oldman's Aussie accent was, this guy a true chameleon, accents seem like a walk in the park for him.

    Wow, that's a fantastic Australian accent, very impressed! When most people try they sound very exaggerated like a Steve Irwin-type, but Gary's definitely got the subtleties down!

    • @KaitainCPS

      Yeah, the Aussie accent tends to be a lot subtler than people think, especially in the main urban centres where most Aussies live.

      Depends, East Coast northerners and southerners have slightly differing speech the further inland ya get. Our accent is proportionately heavier as the population density becomes more sparse and the regional centers more remote. Occupation, class status and neighborhood all foster some difference though there can be outliers with high education from the most unlikely occupation/class/status family setting, and compelling family history backstory, just as new money can still produce bogans with the insight of a rock.

      Oscars are more like knighthoods and damehoods: they do not give awards merely for excelling in a field.
      Actually, awards would be declared deserted more often than not, were they only about talent: acting talent has it even harder because it is heavily reliant on the script, reason why bad actors get nominated or even win Oscars for the good parts they are given.

    I've been in NW England for 9 years now (I'm American) and get confused for all sorts: Aussie, NZ, and lately, quite a few have asked if I'm Irish. Things just slip, as Gary says, into the local dialects, etc. And when your "birth-accent" begins to mix with your "adoptive accent" things can get interesting.

    And Gary Oldman has a very slight American undertone when speaking in interviews. Cary Elwes and John Mahoney really adapted strong American dialects. Cary Elwes a strong American undertone, a hard mix of an American and English accent, and in the late John Mahoney’s case a complete change into an American accent.

      My best friend's wife is from Ireland and they've been married and living here in the US for over 50 years. The only time her accent comes out now is if she gets agitated - so I feel it's my duty to get her animated about something every time we visit them.

    It's obvious that Christian Bale has as well. About ten years ago he seemed to have developed a Cockney accent, heretofore unheard.

      A little bit of a disservice to him, Oldman is arguably one of the greatest actors of all time, you should really check out his other performances, they will blow you away. I dont think he can really have one character tied to him, hes been perfect and truly disappears in every single role he does

    • @megblue1
      @megblue1 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know I loved him before the role of Sirius black but my fav role of him was Sirius black out of all the roles he ever played so but what I wanted to say is that there would never be another Sirius black even when I read the book i pic him in the character

    The word "water" shows up the American trying to do and English accent like no other word. I believe that Americans have such a hard time with English accents because there are so many dialects that they tend to sneak in styles or words from different regions not realizing what they are doing.

    In the film 'Hot Fuzz', Nick Frost's character Danny Butterman was born and raised in the fictional Sandford, which was actually based on and filmed in Wells, Somerset, so strictly speaking his employment of the Bristol accent was thoroughly incorrect! Bristol and Somerset do share a border, but the two accents aren't comparable (to the trained ear, at least).

    • @oliverr6246

      Sorry but that's not entirely true. The fictional town Sandford was set in Gloucestershire. Yes it was filmed in Wells, Somerset, but the town was described as a village in the north in Gloucestershire. The employment of the Bristol accent is spot on for the type of town described in the movie. Now it being filmed with particular Wells, Somerset landmarks in view might bug someone from that area, but the accent's quality, and its usage for the setting is dead on.

    • @carbon1255
      @carbon1255 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually, dumb dumbs, everyone in sandford has a different country accent and references all of them.

  • @davidallenspeaks9548
