Ali- CP #9

I went to see The Town with Jennifer, her conversation partner Biou, and her friend Wenbo. We thought that it would be a good movie to see because it ad gotten good reviews and Biou said that they liked Ben Affleck. :) The movie was good, but the use of the 'f' word was used consistently and the Boston accent the actors had was very strong as well. The girls said that they had trouble understanding everything that was happening because the speech in the movie was very fast and mumbled, with the language and accent. The 'f' word is the main word that they were actually able to hear! So, we talked about it on our way to take them back to their apartment and explained the story of what had happened in the movie and the differences between some of the accents used in different parts of America and that the 'f' word is really a part of every day language in Boston.
