I enjoyed it a lot, definitely came out of the movie really glad I had watched it. Not one to make me ponder life or anything and not my favorite movie ever but 10/10 viewing experience if you just want to be entertained. Insane shit happening all the time, pretty neat stylistic choices, a lot of twists, decent humor, overall great action movie

Most unrealistic part was in the beginning when the white twin said nobody likes lemons, objectively untrue to anyone above three

I could maybe have phrased it better than “as quickly as possible in as few words as possible” because that makes people think about that office clip or something. I don’t mean people talk in broken sentences or grunts or anything but that English is a lot more blunt than most other languages for sure. No gendered words like Spanish or French, no tones like mandarin, no formal version of words like most Romance languages. English, comparatively, is a lot more focused on kinda just getting the message across.

English is maybe less traditional than other languages in the sense that the main goal, at least in America where I am from, is to communicate ideas as quickly as possible in as few words as possible. You can add a please before a request to be polite, but that’s about as much as you can do. The phrase “give me water” is said the exact same way whether you’re yelling at someone or calmly talking to someone. If you want to be nice you can say “please give me water” or add something to the statement like “please give me water if you wouldn’t mind” but no matter what words you add to it, the base of the phrase “give me water” always stays the same.

Also unfortunately, the people that tend to be the nicest are those looking to gain something from you, like those who want to get your money. Most people you talk to just want you to communicate ideas with them quickly, you of course also just want to communicate ideas quickly and easily. The only people who have an interest in trying very hard to be nice are those who want to gain something from your trust

English doesn’t have a formal version of the language like French or German do. There’s no real equivalent to “vous” as a way to address someone or ask for something in a formal and polite manner. Saying “Would” and “could” following a “please” is honestly as polite as you’ll get with English. Everyone you speak to will be appreciative of that. No one you talk to will be insulted because you said can you do this instead of could you do this.

It seems like you’re creating a problem in your head OP, the things you already know are more than polite enough. Honestly, if you try to be any more polite people may begin to suspect you have alterior motives, like you’re trying to sell them something, and not trust you

We were out here focusing on China and India, but Uganda is actually the next superpower
