Here's a quote from one of the linguistic experts on the film:<P>"Each character speaks a carefully selected dialect of English. The strategy is well thought out, subtle, and rigorously applied. I had some part in its development, and am delighted with the result. All of the actors read their lines effortlessly, in dialect."<P>So I guess the differences are deliberate. Also, apparently the film was "looped" which I've learned just today is when they run the film and record separately over the original, fixing inflections, intonation, etc. So none of these differences are accidental. And Elijah had plenty of time to "fix" any slips in his accent.
