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...
