They had this film on HBO the other day (here in the US) with English subtitles. The dialect is simply too thick otherwise, especially if you have little personal experience with it. I don't remember English being spoken like this in Glasgow or Edinburgh when I visited there. I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of watching it with subtitles.
Anyone struggling to understand this....imagine being in a pub in Glasgow on a saturday night. Even people from other parts of Scotland don't understand us.
I get why people might not understand it, but it just takes some practice. English isn't even my first language, and I understand it after living in Scotland for a while. It really just is a simple matter of listening carefully and picking it up.
@michellel9595 I'm not taking the piss out of anyones accent im just saying you don''t have to type ken on youtube, that's something you say not something you type, the people that type ken and like just want you to know they're Scottish :) im just expressing my opinion im not dissing anyone :D
@mizz1308 i know english can undersdand it i have english friends took them a bit of time to get used to but they understand now its just when people mumble you cant understand them that way lol
I'm from Australia, where we speak rather slow. This, however, is fucked. I can't understand a drop of what they are saying. Its a shame because I was really keen on seeing this movie :/
Im Irish, I cant understand a word of what there saying due to the accents, so I have to rely on the french subtitles! LOL. oh well... I shall hopefully pass my gcse then :L
@Leonaloverxx The accents are really thick but if you're an english speaker and listen closely it gets easier to understand. Just need to get in the flow of how they talk. Glaswegian accents are notoriously hard to understand but not impossible.
Typical fucking Ken Loach film set up North about a bunch of tossers with nothing interesting to say and do fuck all apart from swear and talk shite. But, because its a 'social commentary' film people lap it up. SAD.
@CircleofShit Not really this is Very Close to what its like in Glasgow So shut the fuck up you don't know nothing about Glasgow The Film is obviously about the life style in Glasgow Most people unlike you are interested in Glasgow since its one most dangerous places in Europe, so don't comment if don't know shit about Glasgow. :)
There were 125 incidents which resulted in killings in 2002 forty of them in Glasgow alone and 127 people died as a result. * The majority of victims were stabbed to death by friends or relatives who were in a drunken rage. * The statistics showed that 186 people were arrested for the 127 killings. Nine out of 10 were caught within a month of the incident. * Eight of the killers in 2002 were under 16 and 46 were aged 16 to 20.
@MrMaxwell1892 yeh but the statistics are worthless as no one gives a flying fuck about Scotland mate because people like you populate it.
Just kidding.
This sin't about Scotland anyway, my comment was about the film. Any twat can film Scottish urban life, or English urban life, and capture the 'realism', but so what? Does that make a good film?
As cliche as this sounds, I will always prefer Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting or Acid House.
@CircleofShit ah this only film i have saw from Loath, Sorry about the the other comment you have your own opinion all im saying is he captured the lifestyle perfect on this film that's all
Im a 31 year old American and I think this is one of the best social commentary films Ive seen in the last 10 years... I have seen it several times with subtitles and I can read a little French so I can understand em a little bit on this video...
Watched this film in Film Studies at school, we're studying how these type of directors portray socio-political subjects in films... strong shit, i gotta tell you :p
You can't understand what they are saying sometimes but Even a retard could understand the message of the movie acting was great And yeah. if they slowed the speach down it would have been perfect
It's Glasweign. They're speaking English, however, their words change dramatiacally at times because they're speaking with a pure dialect which other parts of scotland may find to understand too. The scottish accent makes it even harder.
