Adam Driver speaking Latin (+ German) in The Last Duel & Silence (Jacques Le Gris & Father Garupe)

Sentences said in The Last Duel:
Semper amorem minui vel crescere constat
Unam feminam nil prohibet a duobus amari et a duabus mulieribus unum
the third sentence is by greek philosopher Plato and I couldn't find a correct latin translated version.
German, they're talking about the protagonist of a book (Parsifal):
Jacques: Sag mir (tell me)
Marguerite: Er ist naiv und dumm (he's naive and stupid) / ich bewundere das (I admire that).
J: Er weisst was er will und er gibt nicht auf, bis er es erreicht. Grosse Geiste gehoeren zusammen. (He knows what he wants and doesn't surrender, until he obtains it. Great souls go together).
In Silence:
-Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum, benedicta tu in mulieribus...
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti...
Introibo ad altare Dei, ad Deum qui laetificat juventutem meam.
Júdica me, Deus, et discérne causam meam de gente non sancta, ab hómine iníquo, et dolóso érue me.
Quia tu es, Deus, fortitúdo mea: quare me repulísti? et quare tristis incédo, dum afflígit me inimícus?
Ne permittas me separari a Te. Ab hoste maligno defende me.
In hora mortis meae voca me, et jube me venire ad Te,
Ut cum Sanctis tuis laudem Te. In saecula saeculorum. Amen.

As someone who studied latin, I give kudos to the speed and self-assuredness with which he speaks, despite his hillarious english accent (not that mine is better).

[@coronavirus3688]

Oh no they're not trying to do an English accent in this movie. They were trying to make something entirely new. Afterall they were at war with the English lmfao

[@tereziamarkova2822]

@@coronavirus3688 I didn't say he was TRYING to have that accent, it just... Came off that way, since he's a native English speaker (and by English I don't mean specifically "from England", but "from English language".)

His Latin « accent » is horrible, but I love you ADAM!

[@spinnenpfotedonnerclan5318]

As a German it's so weird to hear Adam talking in my language XD. I think he did a good job, it does sound like I imagine medieval German might have sounded like while keeping in mind that they're supposed to be in France. I love it when they recreate retro or historic scenery in movies, it gives you more of an idea how people used to live. Haven't seen The Last Duel yet but I can't wait to do next month! The acting is very nice already!

Germany and France have a tremendous influence on the spoken image of Europe. Where in some schools around the world English and Spanish is taught as a second language, in Europe it is always German, french and English. When I was still at school there were Turkish lessons for my Turkish classmates. And I have no clue who needs Turkish in everyday life in Europe except for Turks among each other. I always asked myself what my Turkish classmates needed it for and why there was something like that for the Turks. I also had Greek, Italian, Albanian, Polish and more rarely, Russian classmates, And very often, of course, Germans but they never got their own language as an subject except of course German because I live in Germany. Only Turks had to take Turkish lessons. Usually German and English are only taught. Verstehe ich bis heute nicht. (Entschuldige wenn ich nicht deutsch geschrieben habe aber ich wollte, dass es die anderen auch verstehen)

as a german i still don't fully know what they said when they talked german. not blaming anyone here, tho. adam driver could do pretty much anything, i'd still watch it.

I understand actually everything. But the woman I didnt understand much. But Adams German I find actually good and understood everything. You can hear he really learned his lines.

[@maryjanekeao2351]

I adore this Actor Adam Driver!🤩♥️🇺🇸

[@necromaya]

Regarding the comments on the accents and pronunciations of the Latin and German. Remember, you folks are comparing them to the current pronunciations of the modern version of the dialect. How it may have been spoken in 14th century France may have been different. English doesn't even sound the same, especially with cadences changing. A Frenchman speaking Middle ages German would probably NOT sound like current German.

[@ty814]

People praising the cinematography and the actors Jodie, Adam, Matt. But Ben affleck also nailed his role as Peter II, Count of Alençon. IRL he was like that and remained hostile to Sir Jean. Everytime I saw Peter just hated him which proves how great Ben is.

Does it matter how well he speaks either language? He's not Latin or German. Most of us wouldn't do any better after a few lessons. 😆

[@Virginia_93]

We were just joking in the comments 😁 sometimes I like to make fun of him in a super genuine way 🥰 we know Adam did an excellent job and I'm grateful I could hear him talk in different languages :) Speaking Latin would be almost impossible for anybody 😅

My German isn't great but I'm really struggling to understand what they're saying. Only bits and pieces! Can a native speaker translate?

[@Virginia_93]

I wrote the translation in the description box of the video, I'm not native but I've studied German for 10 years so here it is :) They're talking about the protagonist of a book (Parsifal): Jacques: Sag mir (tell me) Marguerite: Er ist naiv und dumm (he's naive and stupid) / ich bewundere das (I admire that). J: Er weisst was er will und er gibt nicht auf, bis er es erreicht. Grosse Geiste gehoeren zusammen. (He knows what he wants and doesn't surrender, until he obtains it. Great minds/souls go together). if anyone wants to add something or correct me, feel free to do it please!

[@SjWhit]

@@Virginia_93 Thanks! Holy cow their ascents were clearly difficult for my weak German. Their r's got me 😅

[@Virginia_93]

@@SjWhit It was difficult also for me, I just couldn't hear/separate clearly the words. Some say that it's fine in this way, because Jacques and Marguerite studied german (plus, in the Middle Age, so it could have some differences), but they were french, so their weird pronounciation/accent can be in a way comprehensible.

[@lunamoon7528]

What do you think of his Latin? I'm asking this because maybe you studied it, since you are Italian :)

[@Virginia_93]

Yes I've studied latin in high school! :) The parts in Silence are ok, especially the last one in this video, it's perfect. While the scene of the dinner in The Last Duel...uhm, he pronounces some words in a bad way, makes some mistakes with the accents but it's fine, we forgive him!! I just wish he had a better coach for the german language because I have a degree in languages and couldn't understand clearly, had to find a translation lol 😆 poor baby

[@lunamoon7528]

@@Virginia_93 Cool! Latin is such a beautiful language ❤ Yeah, at least he tried his best and he kinda did a good job with that in both movies :) (since it's not easy to get a perfect pronunciation of a language that you may never have studied or learned on your own!). Agree with you for the German part, I speak German fluently (but I'm Dutch), and when I saw TLD in English for the first time I didn't think Jodie and Adam's accents were quite bad lol, who knows if it was intended for the scene or just, as you said, the dialect coach didn't do a good job with them 😅 We still love Adam! 🤣

Can't wait to watch House of Gucci in original language when it'll be available, I'm really curious about the accent/words he's gonna say 😍 oh you're Dutch! Cool 😁 I know some words, like bedankt and goedemorgen (not sure I'm able to pronounce it tho)

@@Virginia_93 Same! Remember when he sang that song in a dialect from Italy in Hungry Hearts? Just mesmerising! I want to see HOG in English too, also because I'm not crazy about the German dubbing of this movie (at the moment I live in Germany for studies and work), Adam's voice actor in this movie also voiced him in the Star Wars trilogy, I like him, but he doesn't have Adam's big and strong voice 😍😂 Nice to know! The best thing is that if you study German, you already have a good basis to start learning Dutch, one of the most challenging parts is the very similar vocabulary but with different pronunciations 👀

[@Virginia_93]

@@lunamoon7528 About the voice actor, also the italian voice doesn't convince me...I'm too used to his strong voice that all the others seem...not appropriate lol. And yeah! I adored that scene from Hungry Hearts! Fell in love with him from that moment, I think hahaha. He was almost perfect. Yes, I think I could recognize many words in Dutch because of German :)

[@LeoSilvaworldchannel]

Has anyone by any chance knows the book's name?

[@Virginia_93]

I'm not sure about it but this is what I've found about that "Parsifal" that is mentioned. "Percival (also spelled Parzival), was one of King Arthur's legendary Knights of the Round Table. First mentioned by the French author Chrétien de Troyes in the tale Perceval, The Story of the Grail, he is best known for being the original hero in the quest for the Grail, before being replaced in later English and French literature by Galahad".
