Among the last minute packing for this 8 month adventure abroad I began to think that perhaps I should have planed this out a little better. Instead of planning on what to pack and what I still needed to buy and what I probably shouldn't have bought I came to the conclusion that doing a little research would ultimately benefit me more. So with that in mind I lined up all of the movies I have that either take place somewhere in England or feature an actor with an English accent.
My research included:
StardustFinding Neverland
Shaun of the Dead (brilliant)
Prince Caspian
Gangs of New York (Irish accents at least)
and In Bruges
Research I own but either forgot about or didn't have time for:
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
28 Days Later
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
Harry Potter (don't know how I missed that one)
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Trainspotting
oh bollocks I forgot about Snatch
and technically I have the BBC version of Planet Earth, and there's probably some that I missed
but Now that I've made this list I don't think I did a very good job with my research and I probably forgot to pack a bunch of shit too
Ah Well
Cheers
ps. I was more of a way the world work over here, a human study really
That's your research? Watching a bunch of films with British accents? I would have thought you could handle understanding an accent being that you've watched all these films dozens of times and you've been to England before. (shrug)
