Sams accent

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Yeah I have noticed that Sean Astin tended to slip in and out of the accent as Sam but really guys I don't know about you but I get so caught up in his wonderful performance as Sam that his slipping in and out of the accent doesn't bother me at all...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Same here. <P>What Sean Astin did to his voice in the movie was far more than I, another person from the U.S., could ever manage. I know for a fact that I couldn't change my accent like that for extended periods of time without it sounding atrocious and downright frightening. Besides, he wasn't the only one with slip-ups - Viggo Mortensen lapsed every now and then as well. But hey, when you've got so many different nationalities and accents in one movie, you're bound to have slip-ups. I think it makes the film even more interesting. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>I was watching the commentary and he had to do his "Get down!" bit in FotR over and over, because it kept sounding like "Git dawhn!"<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Hehe, yeah, that was pretty funny. And when Elijah said, in an American accent, "What are you doing?!" <p>[ June 11, 2003: Message edited by: Estella Brandybuck ]
