Title: movies with their own language Post by: lester1/2jr on October 14, 2015, 11:21:27 AM I was thinking about the odd, sometimes obscene mumbling in Idiocracy which is what English is going to devolve into if it hasn't already.
What are some movies that have their own language or extreme sort of lingo. obvious examples 1. Nell - I've never seen this all I know about it is that Jodei Foster has her own language she made up 2. pootie tang "wadda ty!" Hopefully those aren't the only 3 Title: Re: movies with their own language Post by: Rev. Powell on October 14, 2015, 11:56:54 AM A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.

That's just Welsh, dude. In the "post-apocalyptic" section of CLOUD ATLAS, they speak a kind of devolved English. The movie opens with a scene from that segment, which might not have been the best decision. It took me about 20 minutes to decide whether I liked the movie or not, and I think most people decided they didn't.

That's just Welsh, dude. I think it's supposed to be Shelta (aka the Cant), since they're Irish Travelers. Or it may just be a heavy standard Irish accent spoken quickly. Probably not authentic in any case, since it's Brad Pitt doing it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelta (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelta) Title: Re: movies with their own language Post by: ulthar on October 14, 2015, 05:57:43 PM BRICK (2005) is well known for playing with language.

It's been a while since I watched SNATCH. I just perceived it as Welsh at the time. :bouncegiggle: Title: Re: movies with their own language Post by: zombie no.one on October 14, 2015, 07:35:52 PM A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. "There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening...." yeah, first thing I thought of... a lot more of it in the book than the film iirc whole glossary of words here: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/clockworkorange/terms.html (http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/clockworkorange/terms.html) Title: Re: movies with their own language Post by: Rev.

There are no words spoken in any real language in the movie.
