Thinking of Georges Méliès because Google told me to.
Over the years, I have taken the equivalent of 3 years of French. I never got very far. Basic verbs and pronouns were enough of a challenge. I could never pull off the accent. My husband has an OK accent - about as good as my accent inside my head.
I like to pretend I can understand some French in films but I really just enjoy reading subtitles. So listening to the round, full accent in Trip to the Moon by Georges Méliès is a treat. I can pretend I'm like the narrator, able to bust into French at the drop of a hat.
