I've seen an episode of first dates in Italy 🇮🇹. Where the girls asked a guy to say anything in Italian. He said something about the bins being full. Lol
His "russian" sounded like German and a few words I deciphered sounded like ye olde archaic church poem. These two minutes almost turned me into lesbian. Source: I am Ukrainian, we are forced to learn russian and are beheaded by russians if we don't... I want to forget that cursed language.
Ирина Вольтури It's Lermontov, and he does it with enormous conviction, but whoever taught him the pronunciation was a bit... off... but if you find the text of the poem, it makes more sense/you can kind of follow it. Ish. LOL Лермонтов, Молитва. (For some bizarre reason, it also seems to be a bit mixed and muddled with the order of the lines, which is also confusing.) (It makes me feel a lot better about my own Russian that a native speaker couldn't follow it. About the only words that I understood without having the text to hand were далеко, плачется & легко 😳😂 I thought it was just a symptom of me being wildly out of practice.)
В минуту жизни трудную Теснится ль в сердце грусть: Одну молитву чудную Твержу я наизусть. Есть сила благодатная В созвучье слов живых, И дышит непонятная, Святая прелесть в них. С души как бремя скатится, Сомненье далеко- И верится, и плачется, И так легко, легко...
L attore è bravissimo . Il suo accento italiano non è perfetto, ma è riuscito a trovare un equilibrio perfetto tra un accento accettabile e il cliché di come parliamo noi italiani, in modo che potesse fare ridere un pubblico ovviamente anglofono. Complimenti! Tra l' altro il film è spassoso anche nella versione italiana
1:23 one of the funniest moments ever put on a movie. This is fucking hilarious after 30 years.....this is comedy gold. This is so funny made me hurt my stomach
When I was dating... meeting women from the online dating sites... one of my questions was... What do you think about the movie "A Fish Called Wanda?" The only woman to answer that question to my satisfaction is the one I am with today... and she loves it when I use my Russian voice.
Having re-watched the movie pretty recently, I'm not so sure. Another way to read that is it started to humanize him a bit more in her eyes. Another step in the process of realizing that he's not the kind of guy she initially assumed him to be. It's kind of sweet, in my opinion.
@@Whammytap He is British. You would know if you listened to his English. "I might ask you the same question!" Not much sounds more British than when he says that.
When Kevin Kline's character got her in the mood by speaking Italian to her, he was just reciting items off an Italian menu.
Questo è molto pericoloso...
Kevin Kline? Or John Cleese?

@@KasumiRINA It is the second Stanza of the Poem by Mikhail Lermontov - Prayer
Wow I did not expect John Cleese to be in such great shape!
Apparently when it was decided he would do a nude scene he trained rigorously for months so that he would look good on screen.
I read once that he actually did some weight training for the role
I'm Russian and I can't understand anything from his "Russian" speech. But it was nice, lol

That's Hollywood for you
В минуту жизни трудную
Теснится ль в сердце грусть:
Одну молитву чудную
Твержу я наизусть.
Есть сила благодатная
В созвучье слов живых,
И дышит непонятная,
Святая прелесть в них.
С души как бремя скатится,
Сомненье далеко-
И верится, и плачется,
И так легко, легко...
Never thought I would say this, but congratulations John Cleese! That was pretty poetic for a Brit!
Lermontov, FTW
Немытая раисся лол
Many great poets are actually British 😀

Glasnost!
Perestroika!
Oooooh accents get me every time too!!
"Wendy, she is the rich one."
"Oh."
That killed the mood.

Oh God, his Russian has an American accent so thick you could lose a shoe in it. Russian accent--oh yeah, baby! Fake Russian accent? Cringe.
He isn't American.
