Dante's Inferno 1911 film
by dropoffyourkeylee ini just watched a 1911 silent film of dante's inferno, with recently (2016) added soundtrack.
the film was produced in italy, but the captions in this copy are in english.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brukyhvsvfg.
rather disturbing, to say the least.. curiously, very little of dante's depiction of hell is hot hellfire.

Languages, Dialects, Accents
by LoveUniHateExams injust though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.
first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.
red, arrow, break.
