As you know, I champion original-language films to improve our second-language skills. In a recent post, I dealt with Netflix's House of Cards, and commented about it. However, I want to warn you not to be deceived. The language in films does not reflect the language it is in day-to-day living, in any country or any social class, or period in time. The dialogs actors mouth are the products of the imagination of scriptwriters who are the slaves of their culture, social background, education, and experience. This is important to bear in mind. You are not hearing native speakers ad-libbing in their normal social setting. That you will find when overhearing conversations on the subway of New York or the underground in London. See the difference?
