ウォリアーズ

「ウォリアーズ 歴史を動かした男たち」は、世界の代表的な6人の英雄を描いた歴史ドラマ。 2008年にイギリスのBBCで製作された
ナポレオン、徳川家康、スパルタカス、コルテス、リチャード1世、アッティラという6人のいわゆる英雄だと思うのですが、原題はHeroes and Villains(ヒーローと悪党)。原題のとおり、勝てば官軍、力が正義の裏、制圧された側にとっては、上記6人は悪党以外何物でもないですね。

ピーターバラカンのような落ち着いた口調のナレーターが淡々と時代背景を説明していくので、リスニング的には楽な部類に入ります。 徳川家康のドラマの時だけ皆日本人特有の母音強めのアクセントが入っていたのは、それだけアジア人で英語だけモノリンガルの俳優を見つけるのが難しかったのか、それともアジアのフレーバーをセリフに入れたかったかのどちらでしょうね。

以下感心したフレーズをデータベースに入れましたのでここでもご紹介します。
