Gene Vidal's Accent
I saw a free screening of this movie on Tuesday. Gene Vidal (played by Ewan Ecgregor) appears early on in the movie, then disappears for a while and comes back near the end. I am almost positive that in the first scene he had a British accent, but then later on it was gone. I checked his bio and the guy was really born in South Dakota! Can someone who has also seen the movie confirm this for me? Did he have an accent in the party scene or not??
Also, was it just me or did Amelia's accent appear and disappear too? At times it seemed really over the top (especially when she only had to one or two word lines) but then in other dialogues it was non-existent. I especially noticed that her accent seemed to go away in the scenes where she is reading her poetry in her thoughts.
Other than the accents, the movie was pretty good.
