Why did old american movies sound so different?
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.
It sounded real forced. We had a movie made in our country with some shots in US. Throughout these scenes all Americans had this uniform accent, even the black american actors. Glad they decided to ditch this
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
Kennedy’s was just a Massachusetts accent, AFAIK.
