Will Smith's accent.


I find it distracting when famous actors do accents. They work better when you don't know what they sound in real life.

Hollywood clowns should stop mocking people from other countries and stop doing those ridiculous accents. Because it IS mockery.

If movies want to show African people who speak bad English then they should hire real actors from Africa who have those accents. Not rich Hollywood snobs who try to imitate it. Because they look ridiculous.

But whats with that black army guy in the end who showed up and started speak perfect modern day American accent? ))) Like did black people who never were slaves during Lincoln times - spoke with those perfect accents?

When did Americans lose their British accents anyway? When did that American was "invented"? Like British immigrants who came to America - they lived among each other. They had to maintain that British accent for generations until it would slowly vanish. Australians still speak with mix of British accent and something else. They didnt lose it completely.

I suspect that all those cowboys and other did not speak with that modern day arrogant American accent like actors in movies do. I think they had to sound more like British people.

That wasn't an African accent. He was Haitian.

Maybe try not watching the actor as "Will Smith", but as the actual character. Perhaps it's easier for me to sink into a film's setting, where I try to see the people they are playing, and not the personality they are. Thought he did a good job, and looks amazing as well.
