Originally posted by Chaplin Christian Slater didn't talk with an accent either, but nobody mentions that...
See, he played it well...he did have an accent, just not a pronounced one. It was just enough to show that he wasn't a silly American actor, if not enough to denote him as English.

You're joking right?
"F*** me, he cleared it!" had an accent??

Uh, yeah. Like I said, it wasn't pronounced, and it wasn't a good, solid English accent, but it was an accent. He sure in the heck didn't sound like the kid in True Romance or any other of his normal parts! Just a little difference that said, 'Hey, I'm NOT playing an American', even if he didn't sound English.
And, believe it or not, they do say f#(k in England.

That's not the point and you know it. He said his lines without an accent. What disguised it was the lines he spoke. His dialogue actually felt "English", but that doesn't mean he spoke with an accent.

All right, that's a fair point. Still, he and his character felt right. Costner, while having fairly decent lines before him, stunk the show up. I mean, I like the movie, but hate the lead actor. Everyone else propped him up. Oh well, que sera sera.

Originally posted by jkf296 I think that John Wayne's accent in "The Quiet Man" was apprehensible.
j/k Stout
Lol! I know, how could he ever have dared try and pull off an American accent!
Although, since he grew up in Pittsburgh, he should have at least spoken in Pittsburgh-ese. I heard no 'Chimley' instead of 'Chimney', 'Dawn Tawn' instead of 'Down Town', or 'Bran Hause' instead of 'Brown House'.
The best in that movie was Fitzgerald...'Oooh, I could tell ya blood-curdlin' tales but me, me throat, it's like a dry crust...'

Mmmm... Maureen O'Hara... mmmm...
(Actually, Quiet Man was one damn fine film)

Maureen O'Hara is by far the sexiest woman I have EVER seen on the silver screen...wow!!! She's not supermodel rail-thin, she never wore midriff shirts, blah blah blah...she's simply gorgeous. And, she can act to boot. I can't count how many better points that gives her than Cameron Diaz Lol.

It's my favorite John Wayne movie ever. Okay, so I'm biased, as I love all things Irish (as the name Stout would indicate), but this was a good film...
'Is that a bed...or a parade ground? A man would have to be a sprinter to catch his wife in that!'
Excellent writing and excellent acting. Ward Bond pulls off a priest which, as I'm sure Chaplin knows, is NOT his type of role, normally. Victor McGlauchlin (Spelling?)...well, he's just good at the big, bellowing bully. Fitzgerald as Flynn? Incredible. Even Francis Ford (Grandfather, I believe, of Francis Ford-Coppola? I could be mistaken), older brother of the director John Ford, makes an appeareance as the irrascible old man.
