Sean's Accent


Do anyone think that Sean will have a Russian accent? Because it looks like he'll be playing a Russian, but who knows:P

Why do you think he's playing a Russian?

When the hurly-burly's done. When the battle's lost and won.

reply

Because he has a Russian name; Roman Devidov. But he could just be Russian by descent and be British/American.

JESSIE There, now I can change my ID as often as I damn well please.

Oh, okay. I didn’t even look at the character names, since I was so excited to see who was in this movie!

When the hurly-burly's done. When the battle's lost and won.

roman is also a common Ukranian name.

End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path... One that we all must take.

reply

So? What difference does it make? Russian and Ukranian languages sound very similar.

Yeah two different countries and two different languages, but probably indistinguishable accents on a British speaker... DER. Funny question though because no matter the "accent", he will still have some slight Yorkshire coming out -- I hope.

reply

While the accent is a little similar, they use different words so it isn't too hard to tell them apart. Of course, that assumes a base levels of knowledge about the languages, any Slavic language with a trilled R will naturally be called Russian till proven otherwise.

They all had terrible accents.

-only uneducated minds are not open to any ideas other than their own.

Except that he said that his father was stationed on the NATO base that was on the island...
