Lack of Authentic Accents


It’s like... nobody except Scarlet and the guy that snapped the rabbits neck had a somewhat of a legit German accent. Even Taika didn’t try very hard.

I actually didn't like faking accents. It's stupid and ruins the movie. Those Germans couldn't speak much English during those times. They should've used normal English (American) accent as the most actors are from Hollywood that make a movie about Nazi Germans. Or they should follow Mel Gibson exampele in making movies about diffrenet regions. He uses the original language, it is way more authentic.
