Just a thought while watching the Kenneth Branagh version of Hamlet.I decided that it is totally distracting when Shakespeare actors don't have an English accent.
Polonius' servant Reynaldo was played by Gerard Depardieu, a french man.
Funny how it just sounds wrong when it is not in an English accent. Some times I even pretend an accent when I read out-loud, it just seems better.
hey, i do that too! Haha, although my english accent needs quite a bit of work...
