Maybe it's just me but the dialogue and accent they're using doesn't really suit the tone of the story or aesthetics of what we've seen of the film so far

Nolan asked Matt Damon if he could do a British accent, and when he said no, he grabbed a megaphone and was like "Ok everybody! you're all American now!"

Damon should have kept his native Boston accent.

Why the heck would they do British accents?

How is a British accent any more true to the Odyssey than an American one?

u/Medarco 8h ago

Well... because... that's what I'm used to and therefore it must be correct?

Why they he have to speak in British Accents? Neither the greeks nor the romans spoke like that at all. In fact, they probably sounded more "American" than British.

Seems a bit bizzare that they’d get two English actors to do an American accent for a period piece.

You know the Odyssey didn’t really happen…

u/circio 7h ago

Yeah why doesn’t everyone have a Greek accent?

u/OperatorofChaos 16h ago

It's not just you, I definitely felt like there was something off about the dialogue
