Thanks so much! I always get excited when a notification comes through that you have commented! I plan on making this a series. Some non-natives with good efforts, some with less good and then locals :)
Oh my gosh!!! I would rather you spoke more about this accent my amazing teacher even though I'm not a native speaker i wanna know quite a bit about it keep up the good work
@@AlsActionEnglish being from Cookstown where the character is from I don't think it's that bad. In fact it's closer to a Belfast accent. There's that many accents within the country someone somewhere will criticise it
Welllllll just saw it now and I think he altered it to make it easy for a global audience to understand. I can barely understand you now and you're presenting. Brad was whispering, crying, for 2hrs and I had to focus. Sometimes actors purposefully do it 'wrong'. But good for you teach.you're pretty , you'll survive.
Al's Action English You're welcome. But yes, I think it was intentional because it was consistent. I never once thought "oh that's Brad Pitt" after a few minutes. He kept his vowel sounds the same. Liam Neeson doing an American accent you can hear the inconsistencies. Colin Pharell is very good with his American one though. What do you think about them?
@@josephsvennson5694 I'd really never considered this about Pitt and others "throwing" accents if you like. Agreed, Neeson's US attempts leave something to be desired and Farrell's are accurate. Do you have any particular movies in mind?
@@AlsActionEnglish yes because he wasn't meant to do any specific accent. Guy Ritchie was fed up with criticism over accents so he just let him to do mix up of all sorts of accents. As said "it's just pikey"
@@evasirova3985 "It's just pikey" was specifically referencing the accent of travelers, an ethnic group in Ireland and Britain. They are a nomadic people that originated from Ireland. They have their own accent separate from typical Irish or British accents.
That "blyse" is throwing me off now. It makes him sound like an Irish-American trying to copy his mum's accent. Saying that, fair play to him for trying. Although I'm sure he could have enriched his Northern Irish role immeasurably by having a month or two working holiday in Belfast. And I reckon that if calling you a 'big girl's blouse' offends you, for whatever reason that may be, then it's probably done its job as an insult.
@@AlsActionEnglish I understand that, and it was what I was getting at with the "for whatever reason that may be". I just think that taking exception to the association simply adds another dimension to the insult, enhancing it (for lack of a better term), since its whole purpose is to offend.
I can just see government deciding to ban girls blouse and require everyone to call each other a less offensive term, like cockface or asswipe. But I don’t consider it progress toward a better world for women if they do.
I was born in Londonderry 71 years ago and emigrated to Australia when I was 18. Love Brad Pitt, hes a great actor, but his Northern Irish accent is dreadful. Can you do a good derry accent Al ? check out Daniel Day-Lewis, now he has a genuine derry brogue; eg In the Name of the Father !! Cheers jack
My Derry accent is alright, it improved slightly as I created the Derry Girls playlist. Great suggestion, I shall add it to the list! And thank you for sharing your history (:

@Irish Lu Yo! Good to have you here. Enjoy the craic!
@Irish LuThat's cool, it's a small world indeed. How did you find living in Ireland?
@Irish Lu That's great - not a part of the island I've spent much time, unfortunately.
This is really interesting, I'd love to see more like this! Thank you! I always get so excited when I get the notification that you posted. :D

I have a Northern Irish accent why i am watching this ..?, I know Alister is so handsome ;)
As non-native english speaker, I found very hard to follow Irish accent. But I'm extremely fond learning this accent
Those who are not the Northern Irish but can do a perfect Northern Irish accent are too talented! 🤣
Indeed they are, a rare breed! What do you think of Brad Pitt's efforts here?
Al's Action English Better than mine! 😂
Having seen your many IG stories, I wholeheartedly disagree. You've learned from the best ;)

I’m a scouser and pull of Scottish and a Irish although I feel scouters definitely have an advantage
As someone who is from northern Ireland I thought he did a good job at an accent
he did tbf
Alister, I won't stop saying you're the best teacher! Congratulations!
Thank you!
What do you think of Mickey Rourke's Northern Accent in Prayer For The Dying?
I'm from Maine. There's alot of Northern Irish and folks from ulster and kintrye in the state.

Do you really believe he intentionally did it wrong?
There should be subtitles if you find my accent tricky to pick up...and thanks for the support ;)

But every county has its own twang i grew up in Armagh iv moved to Bally money its a TOTALLY different acent but I love it 😍
But he was brilliant in Snatch! (Except "you'll stay till the job's done", the first fight scene.)
Was he really that brilliant?
@@AlsActionEnglish yes because he wasn't meant to do any specific accent. Guy Ritchie was fed up with criticism over accents so he just let him to do mix up of all sorts of accents. As said "it's just pikey"

Yes, he was. Bit of pretentiousness floating about here.

For critics, it's not about whether the recipient is offended or otherwise, it's regarding the association of weak/cowardly with the word "girl".
@@AlsActionEnglish I understand that, and it was what I was getting at with the "for whatever reason that may be". I just think that taking exception to the association simply adds another dimension to the insult, enhancing it (for lack of a better term), since its whole purpose is to offend.
i still call women wee doll so I cant talk about outta date lol

I didn't know Brad Pitt with irish accent. I always heard Liam Neeson and Jamie Dornan. 😅
This is his attempt at a Northern Irish accent. Do you think his effort is good? The other two are natives to Norn Iron.
@@AlsActionEnglish i personally thought his accent wasn't bad. But I'm not from the north
M from Derry that's bollocks we do now and noii

Where's Londonderry???
John A I’ve never heard of it either, assuming it’s in London?
Hmmm Londonderry.. What country?
*Derry pal
it’s ‘ni’ not ‘now’ i would know i’m from belfast
Brad hates this movie
Brad Pitt’s Irish Accent wasn’t that bad.
You cannot even pronounce his first name right.
Somebody told me that Brad Pitt was drunk all the time shooting this movie because he wanted to feel like a real irish
Seriously Brad drunk everyday during his adult life makes no sense wot u jus said if your reference it Irish drink a lot because Brad is from Irish stock u say this really
Probably because he was forcing himself to do the movie he actually hates and disowned it
@@TheMrfoxguy This movie is not one of the worst he made. Brad Pitt is not a good actor. Very charismatic, but not a good actor
your wrong mate i,am from west belfast and we say NI N I spoke as it is wrote not fucking now, AL fucking tel ya NI spoke as wrote i think yer talking balleckkss mate
