Whenever I watch old movies the characters always have a different tone than they have now. It seems to have changed somewhere from the 2000s. Is it just me or did something change?

    If you’re talking about speech, I think you’re talking about the “mid-Atlantic” accent, although that fell off earlier than 2000. It was a fake upper-class accent actors were trained in. I don’t know much more than that about it.

      It sounded real forced. We had a movie made in our country with some shots in US. Throughout these scenes all Americans had this uniform accent, even the black american actors. Glad they decided to ditch this
