Accents

>Captain of the Red October for the Soviets
>Scotland accent

Huh? Am I the only one that thinks that he didn't even attempt a different accent for this role?

Connery was a shit actor bro

Has he ever?

Did you honestly expect him to?
Is that why you watch Sean Connery in a film? To get method acting?

I think he was Estonian or something.
Real life Estonian sound like Scottish.

Actually the character is Lithuanian

I can confirm our accent is more Russian than Scottish.

no body cares

not really.

Balts that I've met sound almost irish in the way that almost every statement is said like a question.

Though that may just be a women thing.

Someone should care about the authenticity of the role.

What is suspension of disbelief? The same reason they use British accents for Romans and Greeks. As long as it sounds foreign enough for American audiences, no one really cares.

ive noticed this about some actors; as they get older they stop giving a shit and just phone in performances. See Bruce Willis and Harrison Ford

It honestly works better that way, if it was Connery trying to do an accent it would be endlessly distracting, with him using his normal voice I just think "yeah, he's a Russian"

do Lithuanian actors even exist?

Do Lithuanians even exist?

If you learned English from someone who was Scottish what would you sound like?

Only takes a bit of script magic.

Yeah exactly. Perfect example is Harrison Fords cringey ass accent in K19 Widowmaker

The best script magic is ignoring it

Also the Russian to English transition in this movie is one of the best there is

Check back next year.

Authenticity is a deception user.

They start off speaking russian though but they zoom in on the political officers mouth and swithes mid sentence from russian to english. Always liked that bit. Great fucking movie all round I'd say.

>yfw the political officer's who gets killed in the beginning of the book surname is "Putin"
>the book was written back when USSR existed

And I thought he was from Latvia honestly.

Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for the input user

Underrated as fuck
Like the Russian military

>Kino tier
Speaking in the actual language of the place they are supposed to be in
>Movie/Flick tier
Speaking in English with no accent
>Dogshit tier
Speaking in English but with the accents of the place they are supposed to be in

What would you have preferred?

An american accent?
An english accent?

Which is more or less realistic? Maybe he learned english in Scotland.

This is not the truth, watch The Man who would be King

Can't watch kino tier whilst drinking user. Those subtitles hard to read ;_;

>no accent

Everyone has an accent.

>primordial pong scum tier
Everyone has English accents in the ancient world.

but my yifis don't have the subtitles

He never does, I read one time that the first thing he does when he gets offered a role is looks at the paycheck, then decides if he'll play the part, no reading the script or passion in the project.

they took Crimea without a single shot fired

>Speaking in English but with the accents of the place they are supposed to be in

Name ONE (1) movie that does this

Harvey Keitel's Jew York accent in The Duellists was hilarious. Yet the film is so great you end up not caring.

In Connery's case it's giving the audience what it wants.

They pay to see Connery do and say cool shit, not to watch a character study of some slav.

can sean connery pull this off?

The Hill is pure kino, connery rocks that.
The offence was a great performance too.
Connery has some acting chops, I think the whole bond thing just overshadowed all his other work and he said fuck it.

Wouldve been great if he and Caine did something else together. The man who would be king was pretty good too.

Sam Neil's accent in Peaky Blinders is atrocious.

>they took Crimea without a single shot fired
>implying Putin didn't pull a load in his pants
