This is beautiful and brilliantly produced. *promote

Someone give this man a job, AND give him the time he needs to do his work and exercise his knowledge and attention to detail.

EDIT: Also- Brad Pitt (as much as I love the guy), should never be allowed to do non-native english roles again.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Thursday, November 17th, 2016 3:24am PST - promote requested by artician.

Interesting.

I don't say "advertisement" like a normal Brit even though I was born and raised here. Just throwin that out there in case anybody ever has to play me in a movie.

I knew one Polish woman that spoke like she was from California. She'd never been there, she just picked up a more Americanised version of English from TV, film etc. I wonder if this guy would be able to tell where she was from.

*quality, I'm a day late and a dollar short.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Mordhaus.

Brad Pitt's accent in Snatch was a reasonably faithful Irish Traveller accent - definitely not Belfast.
