Kinda funny they play reversed of what they are . Rickman and Logue. First time I watched the movie I couldn't get why he sounded weird here and there then realized he was trying to pull of an English accent. Which he couldn't. It was terrible. Not that I'm some linguist expert but it didn't sound that good!
Rickman could've helped him with that! Also Rupert too!!!
I thought the same thing. I couldn't figure out why he sounded so odd. Probably the worst attempt at an english accent in movie history. Even Keneau reeves pathetic try in Dracula was better.
shareThe same with Ashley Greene. At the beginning she has no accent,then when she came in to work for dad,she sounds like she's from the Bronx.
shareLogue is a Canadian not an American. He also spent a year in England in fact he went to a school in my home town in North London, and to someone used to hearing a subtle London accent - I think he did a pretty good job of it.
It's not like it was Highlander where Christopher Lambert is playing a Scotsman with a French accent and his mate the "Spanish Peacock" is being played by Sean Connery with a thick Edinburgh brogue!
