LBJ with NO Southern Drawl is like Darth Vader sounding like a Minion...
Wow! Stunning fail. 😖 And I like Tom Wilkinson(!)
Director Ava DuVernay was a baby at 5 months old when LBJ died of heart disease. But isn't LBJ and his accent so widely known it's almost a caricature? Clueless arrogance on DuVernay's part? Did she think LBJ's Good Ol' Boy Southern drawl would turn off or confuse the audience; i.e., because LBJ would sound too much like the rednecks with baseball bats?
Another reason why Selma bugged me...and I felt myself somehow "guilty" for not thinking it was the greatest thing ever.
It wasn't.
