Whenever I watch old movies the characters always have a different tone than they have now. It seems to have changed somewhere from the 2000s. Is it just me or did something change?

If you’re talking about speech, I think you’re talking about the “mid-Atlantic” accent, although that fell off earlier than 2000. It was a fake upper-class accent actors were trained in. I don’t know much more than that about it.

Also politicians like Kennedy did it. And so did jerry springer when he was a politician (he did away with it for his show). It’s kind of funny really
