ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.
The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.o...

Tom Hanks is one of the most versatile actors. He can perform in any kind of role.
You meant the most versatile p3d0phil3!
WHAT?! Versatile?
Have you ever seen him playing an antagonist ? Yeah exactly.
All you can say is watching the greatest living actor is such a pleasure. Thanks Tom!
Tom Hanks has always been one of the greats of his generation. Such a good actor, and just a downright nice guy. 😎
Do you know him personally ?
He is a evil man.
Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg are both anti-American to their cores. The both made a bundle of money doing movies and mini-series celebrating the WW2 generation beating back tyranny, but vote and donate a lot of money to the American political party that is always growing government power over our lives. That makes them Grade A hypocrites, and to think that both their fathers served in the military to aid the Allied cause in WW2.
sadly that he is so left and woke orientated. Great person great actor but missinformed
This man is an absolute legend❗️
Can we not wait til this guy is dead to acknowledge how much joy and happiness he has brought to all of our lives along the years. Thanks Tom Hanks for all the laughs, tears and all the range of emotions you have made us feel! You sir are a national treasure! I want to thanks him from the bottom of my heart! I don’t have any social media so I can’t post it straight to his account so if someone can copy and paste to his Facebook or whatever other social media he uses I would be very grateful! Thanks again!
In high school, Tom wrote a great short story about a man who goes into a bar and meets a most stunning young woman who has captured every one's attention. As he sits down next to her it is revealed that the woman is his sister. Probably one of the best stories to come out of Mrs. Wyatt's creative writing class.
?! What is that short story called and is it online for us to read?
What a lovely class to enjoy! Not only one of the greatest actors of our times, but also a great chap! An honour!
Have watched the movie "The Terminal" right after watching this. The good acting is when you do not see actor but character, believe this movie is the very essence of those words
shout out to that guy for putting Bristol on the map
I was born and raised in Bristol, I can assure you that is not a Bristol accent, he was probably raised and schooled in a middleclass system in a middleclass household, cause mate he is posh as f.... ! That ain't no Brissol accent, not even close!
lol it’s already on the map
@@kapri5095I know I was just trying to be nice to the guy with the speech delay
@@mbennett7065 Nah he was doing fine, he just sounded nervous and had a heavier accent.
Cary Grant did that already.
The question from the Bristol chap was 'whose shoes would you NOT want to be in'. Mr Hanks never really answered that.
Fascinating all the same...
That Thing You Do is a fun film, thanks Tom.
If ever there was a celebrity to just get a cup of coffee with it would be Tom hanks. He just exudes kindness
I'm an artist and walking away from my paintings often does help with the next step of the painting. I guess its a great practice for all artist types to do that. I guess I can see it as getting tunnel vision, which you do not want to do, in any art form.
I am a Musician and exactly what you and Tom said, it is neccesary to walk away from the project and return a bit later, in my case you develop "Ear fatigue", where basically many things just sound bad, but upon return you can pick out the unwanted bits and keep going. Great observation...thanks. Tom Hanks a living legend, so natural and talented!!
Thank you Oxford for Uploading.
Lots of Love to you Tom From India ❤
Great actor, great vison and an even greater guy!
Love you Tom, from the first time seeing Busum Buddies
And Philladelphia is my 2nd favorites
For the Americans, that was a ridiculously posh accent, not a Bristol accent.
Surprised he didn't mention Jim Lovell along with Chesley Sullenberger.
Love Hanks ❤
Ex President of the Oxford Union v Bristol guy - not only the clarity of her accent but her direct and to the point question.
Which she used to ask a legendary actor about musical scores lol
If he has trouble with a Bristol accent god help him with the others
that was a posh accent. Not a Bristol accent.
Should have got Ricky gervais to come in and ask some questions 😂
Oooooo. I like both but that would not be a good cocktail.
Love TOM ❤
I felt bad for the guy with the heavy accent.
Ask Tom about his time working as a vendor at the Oakland Coliseum
As a Greek person, I understood both of the English dialect, and my mother tongue is Greek.
Very sorry, doesn't mean a thing really. Foreigners may live in a country and understand various dialects because they've been exposed to them frequently. They may then be exposed to a dialect they've never heard before and have difficulty understanding what's being said. A perfectly natural/common set of circumstances.
As an alien I understood everything, and my mother tongue is Martian

The Sound Track She Mentioned Is Not The Movie Musical 🎶 Score
and Thanks To
Tom
He Explains The Difference
The Movie Score Is The Orchestral Musical Arrangement Behind a Scene 🎬
The Soundtrack Can Be a Song By a Band or
Artist
If in a Scene 🎬 The Star is Tip Toeing To Be Quiet
The Movie Musical 🎶 Orchestral Score
My Have The String Section Playing What is Called Pizzicato Or Plucking The Strings of a Violin
Now Lets Not Discount The Arrangement is in a Time Signature and The Arranger Is Writing ✍️ The
Actors Tip Toeing To a Time Signature Which
Corresponds To The Actors Movement So
The Arranger Has a Screen In Front Of Him or Her and a Orchestra And He Is Writing ✍️ According To The Actors Movements or Tip Toe
So The Movie 🎥 Director Also Is Involved In This Process
So As Tom Said
We Really Don’t Know Until You Take It Away And The Musical 🎶 Score Is So Important As Is
The Soundtrack
Which is Marketed As Well….To Be Sold
❤
You'd think that someone at Oxford Union would be able to set up an efficient sound system. That interview was totaly ruined by the bad system.

He didn’t even have a strong accent, can’t imagine many Oxford students do. He’d have no chance with my Yorkshire accent.
Ah you've made this about you having a Yorkshire accent, no one cares.
An accent doesn't have to be broad or eccentric to be incomprehensible. Poor enunciation is one of the worst offenders.
Collerado ? 12:18
Did anyone ask him about his exploits on Epstein island?? If not utterly wasted opportunity

Phonetically it sounded like ogenapop or OGN upon or ponder upon
Could anyone hear what was/were the word(s) which Tom Hanks said? Thank you, appreciate it.
COVID in his voice 😷👀
Why not influenza, or pneumonia, or maybe (and most likely) just a common cold?

Nice guy. 😘
He couldn’t understand, not as American but as an ego filled Hollywood star, he couldn’t mock an Indian for the accent in the same way. These guys never realise they look complete clowns in front of British audiences every time, so mocking a British guy for his British accent can only come from ego.
Didn’t strike me as that.
I think he took a situation where he didn’t hear the question and made it a funny moment. Are you not hearing the audience laughing?
Project much? Revealing the cesspit of your own prejudiced imagination there.
The person who Tom Hanks didn’t understand, had quite a posh accent. He just did not speak clearly (his pronunciation of dangerous didn’t get any clearer even when he repeated it - mainly down to poor diction and microphone positioning at the time). Certainly not a typical Bristol accent from what I’ve heard before!
I lived in Bristol for 11 years, and it sounds like a posh, slightly lazy Bristol accent. Terrible enunciation.

sorry Tom, but if Sully would have not landed that plane without casualties it would have been the biggest flight disaster in US history? forgot about those 4 planes going down on 9/11?
The question at the end is a bit irrelevant I mean imagine watching Forest Gump without music.
Sociology I 2:28 c a broad bean ! Lol jack in the beanstalk my dad to the crimbo production n I got taken out after the giant ❤
You should be in jail
check your sources gullible true believer.
You should give up your confirmation bias habit, and learn critical thinking. Then you won't be so easily conned.
ah the cantenbury.
🙈🙉🙊
Maybe he should play Trump , another person who should be admired for putting up with the pressure. When he was talking of Sully and the pressure that he put up with how he admired him for putting up with the scrutiny he went under for the investigation of the flight that went down
@twistedyogajam8033
Big difference. Sully didn't actually CAUSE the plane to crash. You see, he didn't chase a flock of birds and intentionally strike them. He then didn't ignore a perfectly proper runway and instead head straight for the river. Sully didn't intentionally put people's lives in danger for his own benefit.
Grasp whet we n u n us can write the essay in a field x ❤ 11:34
Anyone ask him if he enjoyed Epstein Island?
@@generalmerch I’m guessing you have zero proof of the dumb statement you made.

I love Oxford Union, but Tom Hanks, really?
You don’t have to watch this…..
The first guy looks like he could be Tom’s son 😂
6:10 I like Hanks films - but... what a dick he is to that poor kid who is trying to ask a question. Hanks humiliates him - I think he thinks that is funny, but just straight up humiliating someone is not funny. If that guy was a heckler, yes ok, but he was trying his best to ask a question
His attempt at an English accent was embarrassing and kind of rude. Come on Tom. 😮
why did this end so abruptly? .... terrible edit point... give us the entire talk!
That's the worst Bris accent I've ever heard....at least a working class Bristol accent.
Tom is better.
bad sound
🤹🎸💯🙋🌹💯
