Islington Tribune - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Published: 3 August 2007
 
Bring back the talkies

• I MUST thank your excellent film critic William Hall for reminding us how so many films are practically incoherent these days (Heavy metal robots up for a scrap, July 27).
It seems part and parcel of every Hollywood movie for actors to blur their words so that we, the paying audience, have to strain our ears to decipher what they are saying.
It wasn't always like this. What went wrong? Is it simply laziness or an attempt to reflect modern realism in the way people speak?
If so, it’s a sad reflection on all of us.
CEDRIC TOROSSIAN
