Hungarian, a fashion language?

Nowadays or I have been watching too many films or I pay too much attention to them or some languages have become fashionable.

Fashion is really amazing or maybe the government of these countries pay film directors for their languages to be inside the movies and series?

On a period of 2 weeks we watched some films with Hungarian speech in it! Short but it is there, why not Slovakian, or Croatian or Fin?MAybe Hungarian is just more intriguing.

The first film I basically ever heard about Hungary was the "The whole nine yards" about the a dentist's neighbor and the Hungarian mafia, which was a continuation. It is pretty funny and promising nice laughs till the end.

The second of nowadays was the short lived British series "How not to live your life". In one of the episodes, a girl is waiting tables and Don decides to defend her from a complainer client who shouts with the girl because she does not speak English though she works in an English pub in England. Hilarious adventures when Eddie, the deceased grandmother's carer, admits he can speak Hungarian which he learned meanwhile taking care of an old Hungarian lady.

The third, last week, was the series created to take over Lost after it will be over next year: "Flashforward". At the begining of the episode "Black Swan", meanwhile a man's flashforward in which a bus gets into the water and people draw in it, a guy is very calm and saves the life of a girl who shouts in Hungarian "nem tudok uszni nem tudok uszni!" (I can't swim!).



The last was yesterday night when we watched the awful (I didn't really enjoy) "Drag me to hell". A frightening old lady put a jinx in the bank girl because she didn't want to give her a loan to avoid her house to be taken from her. We think the old lady was Hungarian gipsy, according to her house and according to the saying of the curse: "az ördög bújjon beléd" and some other things we couldn't understand. It was very funny. We just don't understand why the néni's (aged lady) family name was Ganush instead of being Lakatos, now that would have been more real. Also funny was that the grand-daughter of Ganush néni had a Russian accent in English!

Take care next time you deny something to a lovely glass-eyed gipsy-Hungarian lady.
