again?

was it last week when four weddings and a funeral kept on showing back to back on my tiny bedroom screen? this film is very richard curtis, a little snapshot to the life of the english middle classes. hugh grant of course has a public school background. if one googles public school, one will notice that it has a different meaning in england. these schools as opposed to schools financed by the taxation system, are funded by private sources i. e. exorbitant tuition fees. in other words, they are private schools according to my local lexicon. they are being referred as public schools by the local populace because through the 1868 public schools act, nine leading boys schools became open to the public not only to the aristocracy and royalty. i reckon in every society there's a certain definition to hierarchy. you can either get your education in the school for the rich or for the school for others, and if you are a very smart person who went to the school for others, you can get a scholarship to the university of your choice.

in britain there's the inoculating issue of accents. the posh accent, and the middle class drawl are quite prevalent in a film such as four weddings. theatre, drama, film in the uk seem to be domain of the rich and privileged. carey mulligan, keira knightley, emily blunt, emma watson all sport the reserved pronunciation. and to digress, my husband speaks estuary english, it's not scottish and definitely not irish. i think the irish are very boyzone good looking, but he's not one. he's not posh nor the uk definition of middle class, he's english, in words and in deeds. let's learn the basics of accents, i mean there are different hiligaynon accents from bacolod to sagay, bacolod to hinoba-an.
