Year 1995
Director : Carl Franklin
Writer/Screen Play: Peter Stone
Stars:

My rating: ？？
English Listening Level: 5 ★★★★★
Watch situation: Recorded from TV program
called “Gogo no Load Show”(my favorite program).
I recorded this because the description on
the TV board said it’s a mystery, suspense and Denzel Washington. And I forgot
that I recorded this for a long time. Then two days ago, there were nothing on
TV, so I just checked the recorded list, and found this. I was dragged by the
appearance of Denzel Washington at the beginning because he was young and
smelled something old days. But in 10 minutes, I found myself not following the
story. English spoken in this movie is so hard to understand for me.
Definitely, the reason is the accent of the South. Of course the vocabularies
used in the line were sophisticated and some are technical terms, but on top of
that, the accent was just not something I was used to. So I can’t rate this
movie by my understanding. I could judge only by the level of English.
Apparently, this could be rank A, so I put five stars for that. I have to practice more listening skills for
variety of accents. Well, I’m glad that I found this lack of skills.
南部の発音を聞きとるのがこんなに難しいなんて！
この映画はきっと中でも結構レベルが高いほうだと思うよ。
