Accent Adaptation | |
| Alexander / int_29718d62 | comment |
Accent Adaptation: Alexander the Great has an Irish accent as do many of his generals. The filmmakers did this on purpose, as Alexander was Macedonian, which at the time were considered much more rural and uncivilized than their Greek neighbors, and hypothesized that they sounded more like Celts, so they decided an Irish accent would be more realistic than anything else. (Or, according to the documentary about making of the film, Colin Farrell was unable to fully drop his Irish one, so instead everyone adopted it and then it went to the above described decision of Irish accent as Macedonian Greek.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
