We all know that there are many different accents in the UK. I can recognise some local accents, such as Liverpool and Yorkshire. I understand that accents vary from geographical areas to generations. People can tell that someone is well-educated by the way one speaks (terminology). Yet, much more than that, it seems to me that most British can instantly tell someone's social background when they hear s/he speaks. Why is that?

The "Blue Guy" is Dr. Manhattan, and his nudity is an important part of the character. Being able to regulate his own body temperature (amongst other things) he has no real need for clothes, wearing them at first for the sake of other people's comfort. Eventually disposing with them altogether, which becomes a sign of how divorced he has become from his own humanity.

Early on, some of the greatest movies in American cinema maybe some of the greatest movies ever. The Godfather one and two. Apocalyse Now, the Conversation. And then it's as if something just disappeared. One From the Heart was just emotionally empty. A disaster. And it was as if he never really recovered from it. He's never made anything on the level of those early movies since. It's just as if something went out of him. It's funny there was really a whole generation of filmmakers around that time that made a few (or even one or two) excellent movies early - and then never quite reached the level of those early movies.
