British Accents Acceptable?

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2004)

So what kind of accent do you use for a movie based on a story over 3000 years old? Let me guess, British. No offense to the British, I love their accents, but um for a movie based on Greek history? They could've at least used Greek accents, might've helped a little bit. In my mind I don't think they should've made this movie unless it was spoken in Ancient Greek. It's not impossible, my mother can speak it. Plus, Troy was more lush and the guys were usually naked. I think some movie just shouldn't be made. It's offensive to our history to bring Hollywood into it. It even offended me to see that the Discovery Channel used this movie as a reference to validate Homers 'Iliad.' Yah, what a reliable reference. I guess if I want to know the truth about the Greek tale Iliad, I can rely on Brad Pitts portrayal of Achilles and oh yes, Hollywood. Well his wife is Greek, or half, hah I'm full.
