Was Tom Hanks meant to be British or Italian in this?


His accent was all over the place. Also, he can't sing for shit.

Dutch? Same accent he used in Elvis.

The infamous Tom Hanks “muddled” accent.

Watch The Polar Express if you want more examples of Tom Hanks being bad at voices and accents.

Or The Terminal

reply

Oh god...forgot about that one. Good one.

reply

Yeah I think he did a shitty Borat imitation.

What are you talking about? Tom Hanks was phenomenal in The Terminal.

reply

Too bad his accent wasn’t

reply

Uh, his accent was spot on. I've been to many slavic countries, and Hanks nailed it.

reply

Nailed the accent of a country that doesn’t exist? Geez are you dumb or what

reply

He was slavic you imbecile.

It must be really difficult to be you. I feel for you.

reply

Country doesn’t exist so you don’t know what the accent would sound like you fucking tard.

Bro, the second line on Wikipedia says this:

"The film is about an Eastern European man who is stuck in New York's John F. Kennedy Airport terminal when he is denied entry to the United States and at the same time is unable to return to his native country because of a military coup".

Which people live in Eastern European countries? I suggest you look that up. Further down in the article:

"Hanks' character speaks Bulgarian as his native Krakozhian, but in one scene in which he helps a Russian-speaking passenger with a customs-related issue, he speaks a constructed Slavic language resembling Bulgarian and Russian."

Well, there you have it. And I didn't even resort to name calling.
