Spanish spoken on Ingobernable

I have started watching the series 'Ingobernable. I'm finding it a little bit suspicious how easy it is to understand their spoken Spanish (say, compared to the Spanish spoken on other series, eg. Club de Cuervos ) Is it just me, or are the actors being very careful to speak very proper standard international Spanish? Does it sound natural to a native speaker of Spanish?

It is a drama about politicians - well-educated, affluent people in any culture tend to speak the standardised version of a language, not the dialects and slang of the poor. Wymspen (talk) 13:49, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

name of the film with men in keffiyeh or ghutra

I remember there was this film, a Hollywood film, with I think Danny Devito or Robert DeNiro and an African-American actor and they were speaking fake Arabic and wearing the Ghutra, the Arab headscarf for men. Does anybody know the name of the film? I remember this film was released in I think early 2000s like from 2001 to 2003. Donmust90 (talk) 20:31, 25 April 2017 (UTC)Donmust90Donmust90 (talk)[reply]

You really confuse DiNiro and Devito ? (Well, one was a Taxi Driver and the other was a Taxi dispatcher, so I can see the confusion.) :-) StuRat (talk) 00:33, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
