whats with some people having american accents and some having english? did the director just not care? that kinda annoyed me....
shareyeah, I reckon it was just one of those 'ignore the accents, notice the acting' times - the thing that stood out to me most was David Thewlis' slight Northern accent more than anything else!!

annoyed me too, that peasant girl was annoying enough without her seeming completely out of place.
shareI know I love this movie but it still kind of bothers me. On the director's commentary he says its because their were so many languages and kingdoms coming together during the Dark Ages everybody probably would have had a different accent but I don't quite buy that.
Red, blue, and green are all real colors. Yellow is a mystical experience shared by everyone.

The fact that America hadn't been colonised in the 10th century and so there wouldn't have been any Americans was obviously ignored then. The accents did annoy me a bit but I just tried to ignore them and enjoy the film.
shareAnd they probably didn't speak English as it is spoken today either, so it was almost impossible to be 100% accurate.

As a classic movie watching fool, I have come to realize that movie makers didn't have everyone have an accent to match the time period or location of the film. They thought that the audience was smart enough to know when and where the story of the film was taking place. Therefore, you could use your own imagination to fill in the rest.
Wish more movie makers did such things. Accents and what not can take away more from the film than add to it.
