Accents


Do Spanish speakers notice the difference between accents, when, say a Mexican actor plays a Chilean?

It's not a matter of principle, as there are always limits to cinema realism, but I still wonder.

Yes. That's like an American playing a Brit or an Australian. Of course, good actors can hide them. It's a little hard to judge Gael in this movie because he plays an exciled who lived many years in another country.

It works in this film cause Bernals character grew up in exile in Mexico, and that's where the actor grew up.
