I remember watching a movie on TBS, but I can't quite remember the name. It was a romance/comedy/drama with two men and a woman. One of the men is a businessman who closes an important deal with an Asian-looking business group. He goes to a celebration (I think it was for the birth of his child) with his wife, who he's having disputes with. The second man starts dating a woman and they go to baseball games, restaurants, etc. I remember one scene where she makes him pull her boots off but he runs out, goes to the first man's celebration, and kisses his wife. The ending was that the two men wake up, finally in their own bodies. I was just wondering if anyone knows which movie this is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.0.150.146 ( talk) 03:43, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
I don’t think it’s that interesting to look for in-Universe explanations why Star Wars characters sound American and some sound British, But j Am interested in why the filmmakers either allowed or encouraged the actress Daisy Ridley to speak all her lines using the Queen’s English.
I think that accent worked in previous films for characers like Obi Wan kenobi (a highly educated monk) and Grand Moff Tarkin (a cruel patrician ruler), Rey is a scavenger from an extremely humble background. So even though there’s no upper class England in Star Wars, it makes sense to our ears as an audience why Kenobi or Tarkin would talk that way.
Can there be any justification for Rey’s accent? Again, not looking for reasons why some Star Wars characters talk American and others talk British—I’m just asking about that particular dialect.
I’ve never seen any other movies or TV shows with Ridley.Can she do a more working class accent? She seems like a capable actress-- 69.121.235.11 ( talk) 15:04, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
A man on the street interviewed people to ask whether they liked rock or rap better. During much of this time, really loud rock music was playing.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 18:05, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
