Peter Dinklage - Death at a Funeral Comparisons - part 1 - British original VS American remake

[@dlweiss]

It's really interesting how different his performances are in the these two films, despite having almost exactly the same lines. In the British version his character seems so much sweeter, kinder, more genuinely in grief. In the American version he seems darker, colder, more ominous, like he's there for the money more than anything. Dinklage is an amazing actor. :)

[@Jayyreason]

Tbh in the British one he seems a lot more reasonable and understandable but in the American one he’s just seems alot more harsh,greedy,and dark

[@Princessmisaofficial]

I mean duh, he's literally the dads side piece 😂

[@harold3456]

I loved the American version when I saw it, but now that I'm seeing that a British version exists, shot for shot, I don't understand why the American one even exists but as a money grab.

Well he almost turned it down but when he heard about some of the folks involved whom he admired he was basically like ''what the heck, Chris Rock's a comic genius, who am I?". Always tries to work with people he admires I noticed.

personally i like the british version better but the American one has its moments

[@sabrinak8825]

The dialogues are the same but the meanings are completely different.

[@quesondriac]

It must have been easy for peter to make the second movie.

[@awuewete]

Definitly like the british1 better,as said be4 it's more subtle and natural which makes it funnier,the american1 is trying too hard and all the music and overexplaination ruins it.(Like with the bj refference that has scarred me 4life) DINKLAGE IS BRILLIANT in both though, but in the first one he seems sweeter and really in love with the dad,in the american he just seems like a cold goldigger...which actually confirms my point about his brilliantness,how he makes the same character so different!

[@adammclaughlin845]

Hollywood simply can't match British subtlety. More money and higher output doesn't equal quality.

[@sarairosenbaum]

Wow. Dinklage's original performance is nuanced, restrained, hilarious and real. Second go-round, you can tell he's kind of disgusted at how hammy and dumb the remake is and is kind of gritting his teeth and thinking 'just a paycheck, it's just a paycheck, say the lines and get it over with.' He's an artist, he deserves better, and he knows it.

[@ericabs]

British is better! Macfadyen and Dinklage are they're wonderful.

[@Cynlouaye]

"Is he doing something with his voice here? The pitch is much higher" Think about it....

[@pemaluda]

2007 was the best

[@masonmarshall7641]

HECK YEAH!

[@jomoody798]

watch the british, it feels more authentic in the character of Peter

[@harold3456]

In the British version his name was Peter? Was he playing himself? XD Also, I've seen Dinklage in 3 or 4 roles, but Tyrion's the one that sticks out the most in my head, mostly because it's a TV show and I see him weekly, and also it's the first thing I saw that made me notice him (he usually does smaller roles). Is he doing something with his voice here? The pitch is much higher than as Tyrion.

wtf Peter comes out in both versions?? sorry ive only seen the american version O_o

[@jomoody798]

in british version it is all more subtle, I like that, and you love the character of Peter, in the NORTHamerican version he' totally darker and evil, I didndt like him U.U

[@caseysghost8161]

He uses his real name in the original, and uses a pseudonym in the remake..that alone says it all.

[@Bellroysg]

Fake news

[@mikepalmer392]

7:50 ........ wh......WHY?? Omg lol this I freaking hilarious mitch better given the two versions of the same movie but different versions I've never seen the British version of this though

[@crypticcryptid4702]

The British version is up for free if you're interested, just search up Death at a Funeral 2007. Though it might get taken down soon.

[@WTG194]

the British one is the original, the American one "the version", as long as it acknowledges and credits the original, its all good

[@Cynlouaye]

No, the character's from the States. He's just putting on sort of a "prissy" voice.

[@thebestdamnthing8]

british/original version for the win. period.

[@whatsyourdream7134]

I like British version

[@depture]

Is he putting on an English accent for the British version? I can't really tell.

[@MelquanKatz]

He looks so much older in 3 to 5 years

[@sigyn27]

Omg, Americans made a remake of it?! Do they have to remake every good foreign film? And that guy who played instead of Matthew Macfadyen... He's just terrible. Honestly, I can't believe what I'm seeing... At least Peter is awesome in both versions.

[@mauroeramos]

The American remake is a disaster!!

[@adammclaughlin845]

It always bugs me how in British films the characters talk like Americans. As an example, I can't speak for the whole UK, but outside of television, I have never heard a Brit say "sure" when asked something. We also don't ever say "Uh-huh" or "God damn it" and if someone did, people would look at them funny.

[@NotSpillingTheTea]

Really? You’ve never heard a Brit say “Sure”, God damn it” or “Uh-huh”? You’ve clearly never been to Dorset, Hampshire, Essex, Suffolk, Staffordshire or Yorkshire. Counties I’ve lived in and heard all 3 of those words/phrases in.
