film or that one about Peter Pan particularly convincing.
The key to speaking a foreign language well (as you no doubt know) isn't just mimicking the sounds, which he passably does, but getting the inflections corrrect, which he does not.
To do so, one has to assume the persona of a different culture, one has to FEEL like an Englishman, to in effect become one. That is why it is so rare to find a person speaking a foreign language very well and usually only kids that learn one can do so... they haven't the burden of their personas so heavily stamped.
