re: accents. *gets out can opener* What do you think about British actors doing American accents? I think it's always distracting if you've heard them before IRL bit if it's good enough does it matter? Woild you get a worse actor just because they have the correct accent? Can northerners do southern? Or is it just the language that's the issue and not the accent. what if your parents have the native accent but you don't? I think I prefer the Death of Stalin approach but wouldn't say you could say English speakers shouldn't put on an accent to help conjure the image of where the film is set.
